Background
Migrants can positively impact the UK. We feel increasing the ILR route from 5 to 10 years is unfair to those who came in 2023 or later with hopes of contributing to the country's economy. I believe a 5-year ILR path provides stability, encourages ambition, and helps skilled individuals build a future here, benefiting both them and the UK as a whole.
