Keep the current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for refugees

Summary

​Keep the clear 5-year route to ILR for everyone who receives protection in the UK. This must cover people currently waiting for an asylum decision and those already granted refugee status or humanitarian protection. Do not introduce longer waiting periods. ​The 5-year route to ILR must be kept for all people granted protection, regardless of when they applied. Denying the clear 5-year pathway—especially to those already waiting—causes extreme hardship and uncertainty. Stability is key to integration. We need to ensure a consistent, fair, and humane system that allows refugees to fully contribute to the UK after five years, not ten. Fairness demands stability for all
