Story summary
- Home Secretary Shabhana Mahmood announced extending ILR eligibility to ten years, delaying settlement for Turkish ECAA visa holders Gozde and Ercan.
- Their visa renewal could cost more than £12,000 if the ten-year rule applies.
- The policy’s salary thresholds—over £125,140 cuts the wait by seven years, earnings above £50,270 or public-sector jobs cut it to five years—do not help Gozde, whose income is £20,000.
