Indefinite leave to remain changes are upsetting

The UK government has doubled the standard qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain from five years to 10, leaving many migrants facing longer waits for settled status. Sarah Cohen, a 25-year-old skilled-worker visa holder earning below £50,271, says she is upset by the change: she had been two years from eligibility and now faces another seven-year wait. The new rules were announced last Monday.
