Keep 5-year ILR path for those already on Graduate Route visas in the UK
I’m on a Graduate Route visa, working legally and contributing to the UK. I chose the UK before ILR rules changed. It’s unfair to change the rules midway. Please exempt current Graduate Route holders from the 10-year ILR rule and keep the original 5-year path.

Background
I am on a Graduate Route visa, working legally, paying taxes, and contributing to the UK economy. I chose to build my future here before the new 10-year ILR rules were announced. Changing the rules partway is unfair and causes uncertainty for people like me who have invested in the UK. I ask the Government to exempt current Graduate Route holders from the new rule and allow us to keep the original 5-year path to settlement, recognizing our contributions and commitmen
