To Whom It May Concern,
I hereby declare my objection towards the new Immigration Rules on Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) which changes the length of time required to obtain ILR for UK work permit holders from 4 years to 5 years. I am opposed to the retrospective impact of the 5 year rule on permit holders who had applied before 3rd April 2006.
我特此聲明: 本人反對新移民法案中勞工紙持有人四年改五年後才可申請長期居留的修改。本人反對新法例追溯影響到2006年4月3日前申請勞工紙的人士。
I believe the rule has a negative impact on the existing employment related category visa
holders since we were under the impression that I was eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain after 4 years. I have planned my life and my family’s lives around this and as a result we are anxious about the changes and its effects on us.
本人相信此條例對現時所有勞工居留的有關人士有負面的影響,因為我們覺得四年後有資格申請長期居留。我和我的家人已經計劃好在英國未來的生活,因此我們對此修改及其對我和我家人的影響感到焦慮。

It should read either

Take your pick, the original does not sound quite right.
Cheers,
