In this podcast, I’m joined by leading immigration lawyer Badri Bala to discuss the government’s Earned Settlement plans, announced on 2 November 2026. We explore the proposed new settlement timelines, who may qualify sooner, the potential impact on workers and families, and what applicants should consider next. The plans include a proposed 10-year standard route to settlement, with shorter routes for some higher earners and public-service workers. They also set out specific arrangements for some care workers. These are announced plans, not a substitute for checking the immigration rules in force or getting advice on your individual circumstances. gov.uk Watch the full conversation for Badri Bala’s legal perspective and analysis of the announcement.
