@official.citylawyer: ILR UPDATE — CHANGES EXPECTED TO BE ANNOUNCED The Home Secretary is expected to announce the Government’s final settlement plans on Monday, 2 November 2026. Earlier proposals included increasing the standard ILR qualifying period from 5 to 10 years, with a possible 15-year period for certain workers, including care workers. Reports suggest existing care workers could receive protection from the longer wait—but this is NOT yet confirmed. The key questions: Who will be affected? Will dependants be protected? When will any changes begin? An announcement does not mean new rules take effect immediately. The published rules and transitional arrangements will determine what applies. 📢 Stay tuned!
