Did you know that thousands of migrants are being forced to wait over ten years until they can permanently settle in the UK? And if this Government has their way, over a million more people will be trapped in this decade-long wait.

The system that we all rely on to prove our immigration status in the UK...is down right now.
There is no alternative, no physical back-up, so no way of showing your employer, your landlord, or anyone else that you have the right to live here.
