Reduce the ILR qualifying period from 5 years to 3 years for legal immigrants
We urge the Government to reduce the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) from 5 years to 3 years for legally residing immigrants who are working, paying taxes, and have no criminal record.
We believe that reducing the qualifying period for ILR from 5 years to 3 years for law-abiding, tax-paying immigrants would benefit both individuals and the UK. We believe this change would recognise their contributions, promote faster social integration, and provide stability for families.
We also believe it could address any labour shortages by encouraging skilled workers to stay in the UK, creating a more inclusive system that strengthens the economy and rewards good conduct.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
