Count all accrued residence under the Long Residence route toward the new system

Summary

Provide transitional protection to migrants (who arrived pre-2021) and are nearing settlement via the current 10-year route by recognising all previously accrued continuous lawful residence counted under Appendix Long Residence toward the 10-year qualifying period of the new Earned Settlement system The current immigration rules list which routes count toward settlement via Appendix Long Residence. Residence accrued on these must continue to be recognised for those of us who arrived pre-2021 and, in good faith, built 6, 7, 8 or 9 years of our lives in the UK. Removing the route without transitional protection may retrospectively exclude years (e.g. on Student or Graduate routes), forcing us to wait far longer, even 15+ years, despite meeting the new integration and contribution requirements
