Reduce ILR application fee to bring it at par with the cost to Home Office

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As per "Table with details of fees and unit costs - 11 October 2021" the unit cost to the Home office is £243.
Since ILR is a necessary service for immigrants to remian legally in the UK the home office should charge more in line with the unit cost and not make a profit by charging £2389

The reasons are:
1. ILR is a requirement to stay as a documented imigrant in the country legally and not a discretionary spend where the applicant has a choice.
2. People applying for ILR following Tier 2 or skilled worker route have paid for visa fees & have been contributing to the economy in form of the good & services they produce-consume, the taxes and NI that they pay. It is mutually benificial for the applicant to stay.
