The Govt should keep current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
Extending the ILR requirement to 10 years would disadvantage skilled worker migrants who relied on the established 5-year route. It risks disrupting families and long-term plans. The Government should retain the 5-year pathway and ensure new ILR applicants demonstrate financial independence.
Extending the ILR pathway to 10 years would disadvantage Skilled Worker migrants who entered the UK on the legitimate expectation of a 5-year route. Many have structured their careers, family plans, and financial commitments around this framework. Altering it now would create uncertainty and erode confidence in the immigration system. Retaining the 5-year route upholds fairness and supports long-term workforce stability.
