“I don’t want to die as a refugee in this country” says Afraa Hashem, a Syrian woman who arrived in the UK in 2020. Afraa and her family have applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain and have been waiting for a response for ten months. We asked them about Labour’s plan to reform the immigration system and how they feel about the possibility of extending the time people have to wait before they can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain from five years to 20 years. #Refugee #Labour #ShabanaMahmood #U
