ILR (Set LR) application. English language requirement change

Post by 2025_ilr » Wed Mar 11, 2026 11:11 am

Hello team. Thanks so far for all the support with different queries. It helped me in obtaining my Settled status. I am now in process of applying ILR for my spouse based on 10 year lawful residency. However I came across a news that English requirement has now changed (from 8th Jan 2026) for ILR. However I could not find any confirmation if it has changed for Long residency ILR application as well. I applied for my ILR back in Dec'25 with B1 level English test. Does it now need English level to be at B2 for long residency ILR as well?

Maybe this post clarifies? --> viewtopic.php?t=193792#p2206567

Appendix Long Residence is mentioned in the quote.
