3 applicants: EU with PR, EU child, Non-EU spouse (6.5 continuous residence in UK, last 2 years on EEA RC)

Application submitted: 11/3/2019 (all)
Soft decision: Settled status (suggested for all)
COA received: 11/3/2019 (all)
Application decision (EU with PR, EU child): Settled status granted on 14/3/2019
Application decision (Non-EU family member): No update yet

I understand there are a few of us is a similar situation (i.e. non-eu waiting for a decision whilst their EU family members have received a decision in a timely fashion). I was wondering if someone can advise on what should be considered as the start date of the continuous period with regards to the settled status application. I see 5 potential options:

a) Arrival date in UK (2012)
b) Start date of ‘durable’ relationship with EU national (2013)
c) Date on marriage certificate (2015)
d) EEA RC application date (2016)
e) EEA RC approval date (2017 – yes it took almost 6 months to process)

Thats ver good you received COA
Did you had RC issued before you applied for this settled status.
Actually i am in a kind of same boat. I never applied for RC now we are separated in very bad terms i was just wondering if i could too apply without my EU partners ID.

DID anyone applied Settled Status without EU Family member ID and Residency proof ? I know if you EEA family already applied for one then you just need application reference number but when EU citizen didn't apply yet or you are separated for her/him ?

I have the feeling the HO don't know what to do with me.

My EU partner and I applied through the app on Jan 21st, first him, then me, I included his application number in mine (linked them), and we both got informed our application would be considered for Settled Status. We both got CoA immediately, on the same day.

Within 48 hours, he got his confirmation of Settled status. I'm still waiting. I have a biometric RC as his extended family member, and I've got more than 7 years of NI records in the UK.

Here's my timeline:

2009-2011: Tier 4 Student visa (1.5 years)
2011-2013: Tier 1 Post Study Visa (2 years)
2013-2016: Tier 2 Employer-sponsored Work Visa (3 years)
2016-2021: EEA RC (valid for 5 years, but lost in 2018)
2018-2023: EEA RC (valid for 5 years, replacing lost card above) - (effective 3 years 2016 - 2019)

In theory I should have been given Pre-settled status immediately, as I have had a RC card for 3 years and we attached my application to my partner, but this hasn't happened. Wonder why. I thought the HO would have all info they need?

Or... I'm thinking they don't know what to do with me, because the app decided to submit me as Settled status (I have NI records since I started working, so, since 2013, circa 7 years), yet I only have 3 years on the EEA RC (in theory qualifying me only for pre-Settled status).

Anyone in a similar position (non-EU family member, holder of biometric RC) has had any confirmation of status, or know how long this takes after their EU family member has had theirs?

best way is to call HMRC and ask them to post your employment history which should be enough evidence to prove that you were exercising your treaty rights.

Hey guys,
I am bit confuse. I am a non eu separated (not divorced) family member. I applied for pre settle status online on 8th April i have been asked to upload only marriage certificate, scan passport and proof of residency ( i uploaded bank statement) after that i booked next day appointment for biometric through ukvcas.
Now when i check my application online it still says i need to book biometric appointment but on ukvcas there are already three files uploaded by the staff member of ukvcas.


Question is why on my eu settle status application it still says book appointment for biometrics and also am i the only one or there are others on the same boat?
