Can you file my ILR from India?

No. Settlement is applied for inside the UK and the applicant must be there. We inform and refer you to a regulated UK adviser.

Is the 5-year rule changing to 10 years?

The government consulted on an earned-settlement model with a 10-year baseline and shorter periods for people who contribute more. The consultation closed on 12 February 2026 and no decision has been announced as of October 2026. We will post the outcome in our updates hub.

What is the English change in March 2027?

The required level rises from B1 to B2 for settlement applications from March 2027. If you are close to qualifying, consider applying before that date or booking a B2 test now.
