Nobody would give you a NIN automatically. The NIN is not printed on the BRP or anything.

Once you get your BRP, you need to apply for a NIN and go to an interview.

Correction, NI Numbers issued and are printed on BRP cards for certain visa categories, i.e. Tier 1 and Tier 2.

I doubt it applies to EU citizens and their family though.

Hi Guys.
I came to Uk in April 2019 and travelled on EEA family member card (spainish). The immigration authorities saw the card at airport and did not stamp the passport.
I applied for eu settlement scheme on 16 May, Bio metrics done on 31 May, CoA received on 6th June.
After that called Resolution centre several times and the answer is very much the same that the application is with case worker can you will receive a decision as soon as it is made.
I am afraid that they are delaying my case as i don't have EU Family Permit or stamp on my passport.
Is there any one who travelled on documents like mine or some one could suggest me that what to do ? Thanks

My Italian husband submitted 1st July, COA same day, settled status received 3rd July.
My application submitted 2nd July (linked to my husband's one), COA same day, settled status received 3rd July.
My daughter with Italian passport application submitted 1st July, COA same day, nothing received yet

My daughter COA was not on the same day, in fact I've received it only today (8th July)

My daughter got settled status today as well (8th July)

Passports and permits are scanned when you arrive at the airport and HO can access these information whenever they need to. As you do have a family permit, and your EU sponsor is exercising Treaty rights here in the UK, you will be granted a Pre-settled status. There is no point of calling the Resolution center, if a caseworker needs further information, they will contact you. No need to panic.

My Timeline:
Jan 09 - 2012 (Post-Grad student)
2012 - 2014 (2yr Post-Study Work Visa - We were the last ones to be granted this scheme)
May 2014 - May 2019 (Family Member of an EEA Resident) - before this expired, I sent my application via EU settlement scheme as myself. No Sponsor. I only provided my resident card number (on a sticker on my passport), my NI number, and passport number.
18th May 2019 - Submitted EU application
24th May 2019 - Biometrics in London (Very expensive, there was no free appointment near where I live, had to pay and travel)
05th June 2019 - COA received
08th July 2019 - Settled status received
Waiting for BRP Card
Divorce: Still processing (the petition was filed in August, 2018), Decree Nisi is out, Decree Absolute possibly in the next two weeks).

One thing you should do is to wait. Most of the times, when you submit a lot of evidences trying to prove something, that is when you create a lot of suspicions. The trick is to provide only what is asked at that particular time. Caseworkers can see these things from the word go. There are lots of applications especially cases that are not straightforward. Be patient and wait for them to contact you.

It's more than 2 month now apply for settled status 6 of June issued coa now whenever call they have same answer underconsideration is anyone in same situation.

Hi I would like to know have anyone got experience travel to any Europe country with BC under EU settlement scheme.
I'm French national and my wife got settled status biometric card because of non eu national. Can she go Spain with this card without visa because I heard it must be mentioned on permit or card eu family members where as card issued under settlement scheme doesn't mention. I'm afraid waste of my money paid for air tickets.
Please you are requested share your experience if anyone have recently gone through. Thanks

Received an email today saying that I have been granted pre-settled status - 3 months after application! Further information regarding BRC and official letter is on the way.
Timeline (Tier 2 visa, married to EU citizen for 1 year)
Applied online on the 6th of April (made a mistake with using my Tier 2 BRP)
Got asked to send in my documents by post (they received it on 9th of April)
Multiple calls and emails to EU settlement scheme enquiring about the delay (the delay was due to me submitting my Tier 2 BRP) + a letter from my MP at the end of June
Biometrics appointment invitation by mail (20th of June)
COA - never received one - no idea why..?
3rd of july - sent them another email through their online enquiry form asking for an update
Today (4th of July) - received a reply to that enquiry, where it said that I've been granted pre-settled status and a letter confirming it along with information on BRC is on the way.

Did you go to the Post Office to collect your Biometrics? We are in the same situation but haven't received any updated after the biometric at Post Office on 4th of July.

Thank you.

Most airlines and border agents within the EU don't have a clue. Even with a card mentioning "EU Family member", they will ask for a visa, refuse to listen, escalate, cause delays then eventually let you go. With new settlement scheme, these cards are not EU but delivered fully under UK laws. I don't believe they will grant any right within the EU.

My non eu wife and i travelled from the uk to italy and she had no problems leaving the uk or entering italy on her Pre Settled Status, we did bring our marriage certificate with us just incase but were never asked to produce it.

Yes, I went once to Venice with my wife and I agree with you, zero hassle.

Other than that, I don't remember a single trip without issues. It starts at Heathrow were the airline guys ask for a visa and claim you can't travel to EU with EU-national and EEA Family permit. Needless to say, I followed up each incident with a complaint letter and each time they apologized and promised they will train their employees better. Still, you can go this afternoon to Heathrow and 80% of the people working there have no clue about something that and still keep insisting for a Schengen visa.

When you enter or leave other EU countries with a non-EEA partner, your mileage varies but most of the time, the border agent would ask for a visa and you have to explain you don't need it and he will end up calling his boss who would call their super boss... etc. In Germany, it took us 45 minutes in and 45 min out of the country. One of the officials even told my wife "you are illegally in Germany and we can detain you". So he was thick enough to threaten to detain someone with an EEA card for being in an EEA country!!!

Last time we traveled together it was in early 2019 and late 2018 and never without issues. We decided to stop traveling until she gets her British citizenship later this year.
