Background
This policy may change affects over 1.5 million skilled migrants. Many came to the understanding that they'd be eligible for ILR in five years. Sudden changes create uncertainty, disrupt careers, and cause emotional and financial harm. We are not against the 10-year ILR route — if it applies to future migrants.
