  • The Conservatives say the period before someone can apply for ILR should be extended from five to 10 years.

    That’s ridiculous. As it stands, you have to have a job with a 30k+ income and live in the UK in that job for 5 years for ILR. Unless you’re married (Which by the way, as it stands, the rules in my opinion on making it difficult for British people to bring their spouses into the UK violates human rights, you shouldn’t have to have such a high income for a right to have your family in your home country) in which you still must wait 5 years.
