Maintain the Current 5-Year ILR Route for Those Already ON Path to Settlement

Petition Details

The government should keep the 5-year ILR route for people who already came to the UK through legal channels and have been granted refugee status. These individuals have planned their lives based on the existing system, followed all rules, and are already integrating and contributing.

Additional Information

I believe the Government should maintain the 5-year ILR route for people who already came to the UK legally and were granted refugee status because these individuals have built their lives around the current rules. They followed every legal step, passed all checks, and have been working hard to integrate, study, and contribute to the UK. Changing the settlement pathway midway would create uncertainty, disrupt families, and reduce trust in the system.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action:

Keep the 5-Year ILR route for refugees. Do not extend it to 10 or 20 years
