Petition

Grant a transitional period for those already in the UK applying for ILR.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We are asking the Government to implement a transitional period for individuals who are already living in the UK and are in the process of applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
Many individuals have been residing in the UK for years, contributing to the economy, communities, and society. However, recent changes in immigration rules and processes have created significant barriers for those seeking ILR, especially those who may have been affected by delays or complications in their application process.
