She has an EU Scheme BRC. I don't really follow the difference between BRC and BRP, but her card states "Residence Card" and permit type says "EU Scheme Pre-Settled". She showed that at check-in. She never had an EEA BRC.

Hi, to help out, both my Wife (Non-EEA, pre-settled) and I (EU, settled) just came back from a holiday in the EU to Manchester Airport. Immigration took 2 seconds, he scanned our passports, looked at my wife's BRC, checked our faces, said "I can see your status, welcome back" and that was it. Didn't ...

Based on the list there, Brazilian nationals don't seem to need an Airport Transit Schengen Visa?

This kind of thing has been expected - part of Immigration Enforcement. Very unprofessional to say the least. EU citizens must realise they now count as "normal" immigrants. EUSS give a few advantages over others but nevertheless it's part of the UK immigration rule book. It's fine being a "normal ...

I've managed to reach that number provided after over an hour on hold and the lady on the phone said the exact same thing, that the database didn't transfer and they're having massive issues with their database and need to update people manually and go through everyone holding a status. So she took ...

That is not correct, as the UKVI which is part of the. Home Office, controls the EUSS. I don't know, it's what the EUSS Resolution Centre told me, that they made an error and sent the letters out. This is the current up-to-date information regarding this issue I can find: https://www.facebook.com ...

If they can confirm that you have status, then they know their letter was mistaken. I’m surprised why they couldn’t update their records themselves without needing you to call a number? Take a screenshot of your status for your records. Try complaining ? Apparently, the two departments, EUSS and UKV ...

As I can't edit: I just got through to the EUSS Resolution Centre and they told me that they "erroneously" sent this letter to "a lot" of people having status already. And the only way to fix it is to call the number I posted above, which is not taking calls. The lady could not help me further ...

Hi everyone, This morning I received a letter from the Home Office that I need to apply to the EUSS within 28 days or I will become an illegal immigrant and lose all my rights. But I already hold settled status and have done so since 2019? I checked my online status and it is displaying correctly ...

That should be an interesting article, I do hope the Guardian will pick up this story.
Please share a link if they do.

As requested here's the link, it's part of a bigger article:

Big update: Yesterday evening I called the EUSS Resolution Centre again. After spending 2 hours on the line (which is mentally draining), I got through to someone that seemed really competent. She immediately liaised with the IT Team and was able to give me their internal incident number, as well as ...

Does anyone know how long an MP needs to investigate with the Home Office? I haven't heard anything back from them since Friday, and I might receive a job offer within the next few days that will require me to prove my right to work... So I'm now concerned about losing the job opportunity due to ...

Wow, I just received a call from my MP. Very bizarre situation - the Home Office is claiming I should've received a biometric residence card - but I'm an EU citizen and as far as I'm aware we don't get those? Only the online status? I told them this information and they said they'll investigate ...

To keep everyone updated:

It has now been over 20 working days since my complaint to UKVI. I did not receive any response, so I have now emailed both my MP and the Guardian / Observer problem column.

I hope this will resolve this issue.

I've submitted a complaint to UKVI now, let's see where that takes me. If that doesn't work I'll contact my MP as suggested. @kamoe: Yes, I am an EU national, with no physical card, with settled status that I can't access. However, I was told by the EU Scheme people that until June 30th I should ...

Hi guys, Thank you for the replies. Multiple calls later and the issue is still not resolved and I don't know where to go or what to do from here on out @Terry: is it that bad that I should sent a message to my MP? As far as I'm aware I can use my passport until June 30, so I was going to wait until ...

Hi, can anyone help?

I've called a few times since then and they said re-confirmed it's an IT issue and they have my status at hand, but if I need to prove it to someone, they will have to wait on the phone-line with me (which takes usually 1 hour) so they can verify it to them over the phone...

Hi everyone! I got my EU scheme settled status via letter in September 2019. Since then, I could always log onto the online "prove your status" website to show my status to my employer etc. I've then decided to change my name, due to marriage, and updated my passport, i.e new passport number. I sent ...
