In this webinar, Colin Yeo and Sonia Lenegan run through the government’s proposals as they affect family members, workers, refugees and others, set out some key concerns and explain the consultation currently being undertaken by the government.
The Labour government proposes a radical new system of earned settlement which will set the default qualifying period as ten years rather than the current five. The period could be as short as three years for high earners. It could be 20 years or longer for those who claim benefits or break immigration rules. Other radical aspects include different rules for the families of citizens and settled persons and different qualifying periods for family members compared to the principal migrant.
