"Island of strangers" they say. But I'm not a stranger.
I speak English. Ask me what other languages I know.
I didn't arrive on a boat — I entered legally. Ask why I can prove it instantly online.
I pay taxes like you. Ask me how much does IHS cost extra on top.
I go to work like you. Ask me why I can't switch to any company, except of listed ones — not for five years.
I didn't use to complain. I just lived my life quietly, like you.
But on 12 May 2025, the government made it clear: they want me out.
I'm fully willing to sign a formal refusal of social housing, Universal Credit, or any other benefits the government claims I'm "stealing" from those, who are actually in need. I'm here to work, and I continue contributing to the UK economy. This is fair.
All I ask is — not to be deported just because my employer decides to downsize, a chance to participate freely in the open job market and an ability to freely switch between employment and self-employment. This is fair.
Vladimir supported: Do not apply ILR rule changes to current migrants in the UK retrospectivelyThe law should be framed in such a way that it rewards people who have come to this country legally in order to do needed work, rather than classing them with illegal immigrants who have still to demonstrate their good faith and goodwill.
When my aunt developed dementia, she had Lithuanian neighbours who worked long hours, but still found time to be immensely kind to her, even providing her with their mobile numbers after she was mugged. Discouraging people like Asta and her friends from making a very real contribution to our communities goes beyond stupidity.
Verity supported: Do not apply ILR rule changes to current migrants in the UK retrospectivelyI am a legal Skilled Worker immigrant who contributes not only to the British economy (by paying taxes) but also to the British future (by my professional performance as a chemistry and science teacher)
Aleksei supported: Do not apply ILR rule changes to current migrants in the UK retrospectivelyMy husband and I moved to the UK two years ago — he is here on a Global Talent visa, and I’m his dependant.
If the qualifying period for ILR is extended — for either of us — it won’t just mean five more years on a visa. It will send a clear message that we can’t plan our future here with any certainty, because the rules can change retrospectively again at any time.
The very reason I left my home country was the constant uncertainty — the inability to make long-term plans because the rules kept changing. I truly believed that in the UK, I would finally find the stability.
Please let us continue on the path we've started.
Margarita supported: Do not apply ILR rule changes to current migrants in the UK retrospectivelyProposed immigration changes would extend the time global talents and skilled workers must wait for settlement, adding financial strain (for my family, for example, over £12,000) and uncertainty. This risks harming those who have legally built careers and lives in the UK and have chosen the UK as their home in good faith
Anastasia supported: Do not apply ILR rule changes to current migrants in the UK retrospectivelyYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
