‼️IS YOUR ILR SAFE? UK White Paper 2025 Breakdown | 5 vs 10 Years & New Graduate Visa ⚖️

🚨 ATTENTION: The 2025 UK Immigration White Paper "Restoring Control over the Immigration System" has officially been released (12 May 2025). This is a generation-defining shift in UK Immigration policy.

In this detailed legal briefing, Kayani Legal—a LEXCEL-accredited firm specializing in UK Immigration and family law—breaks down the proposed reforms that will impact millions of Skilled Workers, Students, and Families. From the proposed shift to a 10-year Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) model to the drastic reduction of the Graduate Visa (PSW) to 18 months, we explain the law, the risks, and the strategic actions you must take now.

Why watch this video? The Home Office is moving toward a "Contribution-Based" system. If you are currently in the UK or planning to apply for a visa, the transition rules (Transitional Protection) are your only shield. We analyze the RQF Level 6 (Degree Level) requirement for Skilled Workers and the tightening of English language requirements from A2/B1 up to B2 thresholds.
