Background:
The 2nd reading of the new Borders Citizenship & Immigration Bill takes place on 2nd June 2009. The Bill will make it harder for migrants to settle in the UK.
The Govt. made clear that it intends to apply the harsh changes to migrants already in the UK. We are fighting to ensure that the new Bill does not affect those already here with Limited Leave to Remain.
How does it effect?
At the time the changes, anyone with Limited Leave to Remain in the UK.
How can you help?
WRITE to your MP (via letter or email). Please ensure two things:
1. Print and enclose (or attach if emailing) the briefing located at:
http://www.londonelegance.com/transpond ... iefing.pdf
2. Write a brief cover letter explaining your concerns. i.e. explain how it would affect your life if the new rules are applied retrospectively and increased the time it takes for
you to become settled in the UK (i.e. get you permanent residence or citizenship). In other words, a brief hardship statement.
Deadline:
2nd reading is Tuesday 2nd June 2009.
If you haven't already written to your local MP about this, please do so now.
Thank you.
