🛑 URGENT ALERT FOR ALL HEALTH &
CARE VISA HOLDERS🛑
They promised care workers ILR in 5 years. Now they
are extending to 15. 💔
Your important indefinite leave to remain uk update
When 616,000 of care workers came in the UK
between 2022 and 2024 to support the NHS and social
care sector, The UK Government made a deal. Care
workers uprooted their lives, brought their families,
dedicated to caring for the UK's most vulnerable. The
deal was simple: work hard, follow the rules and apply
for settlement after 5 years.
The Home Office’s new "Earned Settlement" proposal
threatens to tear that deal up. By retrospectively
changing the baseline to 15 years for care workers
already here, they are moving the goalposts in the
middle of the game.
Bottom line: 15 year visa uk to get ILR is unfair for
existing care visa holders
⚠️ A longer route means higher costs and years of
insecurity.
Families end up paying fees again and again and many
stay on temporary visas for over a decade.
You cannot let this happen in silence.
The government is consulting NOW. They are legally
required to listen, but only if every care worker speak
up.
👇 YOUR 3-STEP ACTION PLAN:
1️⃣ Respond to the Consultation: Deadline is 12 Feb
2026. Watch out for the question on "Transitional
Arrangements" Demand they protect those already
here!
2️⃣ Email your MP: We’ve created a template that
explains the local care crisis this will cause. Speak to
your employer, visit your MP with your employer and
other colleagues.
3️⃣ Join a Union: Individuals can be ignored. UNISON,
GMB, and RCN cannot.
