Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to modify indefinite leave to remain procedures

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to reveal changes to the indefinite leave to remain rules. The new rules will consider care workers similarly to doctors and could see some migrants wait up to 10 years for the right to settle in the UK. Skilled migrants are expected to supply £115bn to the UK economy under current rules. The announcement comes as part of new immigration laws.

“The new rules will consider care workers similarly to doctors and could see some migrants wait up to 10 years for the right to settle in the UK,” — Simone Whitfield, contributing analyst at Ashstone Ford Financial, added during the briefing.
