Amend the "Core Protection" policy to grant Indefinite Leave to Remain after 10 years, not 20. The policy cites Denmark as a deterrence model, yet Denmark allows settlement after 8 years. The UK should align with this evidence base, avoiding a costly 20-year outlier.

We feel trapping genuine families in 20 years of limbo inflicts psychological harm and blocks the "self-sufficiency" the Government seeks. 30-month visas prevent mortgages and stable careers. The policy cites Denmark as a model, yet ignores that Denmark settles refugees in 8 years. We feel this 20-year outlier creates wasteful bureaucracy (8 separate visa renewals) and prevents integration. We feel 10 years ensures control without this fiscal and social self-sabotage.
