Health care visa ILR

Post by savipuri » Sat Nov 22, 2025 3:53 pm

Hello, I have been working directly in the NHS as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) under a health care visa in band 3 for the past three years. With the new proposal regarding the ILR timeline, will I be exempt from this requirement since we are public servants and frontline workers? However, upon reviewing the document, I noticed that there is no exemption for medium skilled workers, and I am classified as a medium skilled worker under SOC 6131. I consulted with one of my solicitors, and he mentioned that I am exempt. I would appreciate your assistance as I am feeling a bit confused.

No new immigration rules have been announced yet. Until the new rules and proposed changes are formally announced, we can't give you any advice on what to do in the future.
