jedisco:Just search for Scott Bessent you’ll see it even many Americans are embarrassed 😂 Even in uk immigrants have also been blamed for rising inflation. I think advanced nations have finally found immigrants and third world nations as a tool for their domestic politics to avoid more scrutiny and accountability from their societies and we should expect more of this in the years ahead. |

Goodenoch:Indeed. I know it might be a strange concept to you, but there are a great number of people, myself included, for whom interest in British politics does not revolve around Kemi. |

📢 Shabana Mahmood is giving a statement today (possibly around midday) on the proposed ILR extension to 10 years and the new earned settlement model. |

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691edda450b16caf978153d8/Command_Paper_final_-_reviewed7.pdf Basic salary threshold for 5 year settlement set at £50,270. |

Cyberknight:Earned over 3-5 years (exact period subject to consultation) Exemptions for specific public sector occupations subject to consultation. Imagine this will include NHS doctors, nurses etc |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Cyberknight: 1:49pm On Nov 20, 2025 |
Zahra29:Yes, for them their national pay scales will remain determinative. The shortest end of the stick is reserved for below RQF 6. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 1:54pm On Nov 20, 2025*. Modified: 3:05pm On Nov 20, 2025 |
Cyberknight:Yes, the discount applies to public sector workers in RQF 6 occupations Top rate tax payers (> £125,140) can now qualify for ILR after 3 years, same as GTV holders. Public Funds: Using public funds for >12 months: Plus 10 years. Using public funds for <12 months: Plus 5 years. |

SUMMARY(copied from Politics UK): The new changes to tackle the “Boriswave” of migrants already in the UK since 2021 - Future migrants may only be able to access benefits and social housing after becoming British citizens - Anyone who currently depends on benefits will face a 20 year wait before they can settle in the UK, unless they already have settled status - Illegal migrants and overstayers could have to wait up to 30 years before they can settle - For most migrants, the standard wait for settlement will rise from 5 years to 10 - Low paid workers such as those on health care visas will face a 15 year wait - NHS doctors and nurses will still be able to settle after 5 years - High earners, entrepreneurs and global talent can be fast tracked and settle after 3 years - Family members of UK citizens and Hong Kong BN(O)s will keep their current 5 year route - To qualify for settlement, migrants will need to be working, speak good English, stay off benefits and have a clean criminal record - Extra reductions will be available for those who contribute more economically or show strong integration, such as volunteering or paying higher rate tax |

Zahra29:The rule seems like common sense which is fine, and it’s fair in theory. But the reality is that many people on the lower salary scale aren’t there by choice. The restrictive nature of their visas constrains them, so penalising them for not earning more, while effectively tying one of their hands behind their back is incredibly unfair. The country does itself no favours by restricting the economic and earning potential of people on visas. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Cyberknight: 5:50pm On Nov 20, 2025 |
Cyberknight:Apparently I might be wrong. The threshold appears to be referring to taxable income (i.e. less personal allowance and any salary sacrifice amounts, such as pension deductions), not gross income, which would actually mean its approx. 65k. |

hyzich:GPT says --> "In most countries, working for a university counts as public service only if the university itself is publicly funded or government owned. That is the core rule. Everything else is noise. A simple way to cut through the ambiguity: If the university is a public institution funded by the government, then your employment there is generally considered public service. If the university is private or independent, then it is not public service." |

HustlaOfLagos:Yea, I just checked on google. Fingers crossed for now till feb 2026 |

Cyberknight:Your taxable income is all your gross income earned. |

hustla:I go lie for you? "Low-paid workers, such as the 616,000 people and their dependants who came on health and social care visas between 2022 and 2024, would be subject to a 15 year baseline. The route was closed earlier this year following widespread abuse." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/biggest-overhaul-of-legal-migration-model-in-50-years-announced ![]() |

I think you are correct, looking at this table 37,701+12, 570= 50,271 which is the salary threshold for 5-year settlement: hyzich:

HustlaOfLagos:the funny part is that the gov't knew what they were doing, they plan to scrap the Health care visa, so how would the current visa holders renew their current visa for them to spend the 15 years qualifying years. Plan B is the way forward tbh |

hyzich:The information has been out there and dissected on this thread but our people do not like to read ...Afterall, their President said "Na Statistics we go chop?" and they still went ahead to vote for the dullard ![]() One thing I like about the UK is how they use evidence and statistics to inform their decisions. For instance, you can see the below excerpt here --> https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691edda450b16caf978153d8/Command_Paper_final_-_reviewed7.pdf#page=24.07 "While significant uncertainty exists over the future behaviour of potential applicants, the Home Office estimates that between 1.3 million and 2.2 million people will settle in the UK between 2026 and 2030 (central estimate 1.6m), peaking at between 359,000 and 620,000 in 2028. Second, the significant increase in people granted a Health and Care entry clearance visa, including a significant cohort working in the care sector, totalling 616,000 between 2022 and 2024 will become eligible for settlement between 2027 and 2029.20 The Home Office estimates that the UK will see 384,000 additional settlement applications from this cohort over this period, with a peak at 210,000 in 2028" One of the reasons they can comfortably increase the years to ILR is because they have analysed data and looked at the countries most associated with the visa type they want to curb. They can see that those people would rather be on the 10 year route than return to their home countries where bandits run riot and terrorists stream killings on TikTok ![]() |

Cyberknight:Any indication of cut off date? Or it applies retrospectively to all? |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Cyberknight: 7:44pm On Nov 20, 2025 |
Jamesclooney:Home Sec has said that the aim is for the measures to apply retrospectively, but that there may be transitional provisions and that they have not decided what, if any transitional provisions to put in place and for which categories. Other than that the intention is to end the consultation in February next year and to have the new arrangements legislated and in force by April 2026. |
