Keep 5yr ILR for refugees and skilled workers with no benefit Restrictions

Summary

The government should retain the 5-year ILR pathway for existing refugees and current Skilled Worker visa holders. The new rules should apply only to new arrivals including benefits restriction. Refugees should not be required to wait 20 years to obtain settlement. Extending ILR to 10 or 20 years would unfairly affect refugees and Skilled Workers. The government should maintain the 5-year ILR for existing refugees, current Skilled Workers, and those who applied for asylum before new laws. No benefit restrictions should apply to recognised refugees and those who get ILR following current rules. Increasing ILR to 20 years would disrupt lives, create uncertainty, affect housing, employment, family stability, and children’s future opportunities.
