Non-EU applications for Settled and Pre-Settled status - Criteria and outcomes

Post by kamoe » Sun Feb 10, 2019 9:52 am

I'd like to build a picture of how Settled and Pre-Settled status criteria is applied to non-EU family members of EU citizens. There has been a lot of speculation in different topics, regarding maximum waiting time, and what exactly counts towards the 5 years to be granted Settled Status.

Could any non-EU people having gone through the Settled Status application please share their outcome and circumstances as below?

For example, mine are:

Years in UK: 9.5
Years on EEA RC/FP: 3
Applied: 21.01.2019
Status offered: Settled
Outcome: Still waiting
Date of outcome: Still waiting

Thank you Kamoe, I think this would give a good picture of the overall scenario carrying from the previous discussion between you and David.

EU and Non-EU pre-settled status and timeline

EU National - 3 years 2 months
Non-EU (Spouse and child) - 3 years 2 mths
Applied - 6th Feb 2019 @ 6.30 PM
EU Pre - settled status confirmed on 7th Feb @10.00 AM
Non-EU Pre-settled confirmed - 7th Feb @ 2.30 PM
Non-EU child confirmed 8th Feb @ 10.00 AM
while applying we were confirmed for pre-settled status, granted as per the residence.

Because I see this is causing confusion, the above means that I was informed my application would be considered for Settled status. This does not mean I was granted Settled status. My application is still in process.

I've seen someone's case (the guy has received his UKRC only last year and been approved for settled status already!) I believe Home office counts it from day of marriage or durable relationship started day.

CR001 said it was an error, which I also believe.

Actually I made a mistake above. I was thinking of my other post about start of family membership. We have lived together for 5.5 years not 3.5!

I called them as I had to sent my BRP! Cause app could not read the chip. They have send it back after checking but in online application it was still saying I need to send the BRP then I contacted them regarding this. However, I've got some information about my application when I called them! Lady said case worker has seen all the documents and my eligibility beside they have escalated my case and I should hear back within days or week.

That bit is still confusing to me. The app did read my BRC without problems, but, as was the case of many people, the website later told me I needed to submit proof of my relationship with my sponsor, which I don't have. We are unmarried partners, so the RBC is itself the proof, and the app already already read it, so I just uploaded again copies of my current and past BRCs just to make the statement of how confusing it was. If they need something else I understand they'll let me know. Not sure what else I was supposed to supply and prefer not to overload them with documents.

Kamoe



My one could be because of the device. But after sending them the BRP they have sent it back very fast. I think your case not about additional evidence It's all about systematic decision which is settled status and realistic is we aren't yet qualified for settled status.

As I have mentioned above that they have escalated my case after assessing the eligibility and seeing all the related documents, it could be case worker confused what status they should give us! Based on this they may escalated your case as well to assess these kind of case which causing delay.

You can travel with your RC ... when you come back you can sort out the rest...As long as you are married you can use RC for making entertaining to uk till dec2021

You just need to find out if it’s okay to retun to uk while having such issue with your partner?
In case they stop you at airport..
