UK exempts care workers from long immigration settlement delays
Original: UK exempts care workers from plan to impose long delays on immigrants seeking residence
The UK government has exempted care workers from a proposed policy that would impose lengthy delays before immigrants can qualify for permanent residence. The change means migrants working in adult social care will keep existing settlement routes while other workers could face extended waiting periods. The exemption follows concerns that the care sector, already reliant on overseas recruitment, could not cope with stricter rules.
Why now: The policy shift affects thousands of migrant care workers and signals a rethink of the UK's immigration settlement plans.
