Extend the ILR Route to 10 Years for Care Workers and Low-Income Workers Already in the UK We call on the UK Government to extend the ILR qualifying period from 5 to 10 years for care workers and low-income workers already living and working in the UK.

This could allow more time for economic contribution through work, taxes, and NHS surcharges. ILR granted under this route should not provide immediate access to public funds, helping to ensure fairness for taxpayers and protecting public services.
