Briefing by News4U · First published
The Guardian reported that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a doubling of the standard wait for indefinite leave to remain to 10 years for most foreign workers and refugees, while scrapping the planned 15-year wait for lower-paid workers and retaining the five-year route for an estimated 280,000 care workers and their dependents; the changes will affect half a million people who arrived expecting a five-year wait.
