Hello everyone,

The situation around the world is really sad due to the outbreak of Corona virus.
I have my EEA family permit with me but still cannot travel to UK since all the flights are suspended for a month.

Hopefully the situation will be better in the coming months. I just wanted to know if anyone can help me out with my query.

Is it necessary to travel to UK within first 3 months of the visa start date. Is it a problem if someone die to unavoidable circumstances travels after 3 months of the visa start date??

And currently how long does it take to get pre settled status after moving to UK ??

Hi,
There is no law that forces you to come within 3 months. You can come to the UK in last month of your FP. There is no definite time period for settlement scheme to process as it varies case to case. According to recent information keep in mind at least couple of months. Stay safe and do not worry about coming asap. Later is better than sooner as UK is going to be next hotsopt of Covid-19. Almighty bless everyone in this situation

Hey thankyou for the info.
Hopefully things will be fine soon.
Anyways I cannot travel asap as till 15th Apr 2020 the incoming as well as outgoing flights are suspended. So let's see later in May maybe.

Omds this is serious! Have you tried escalating your case? I applied since February this year & haven’t heard back either. I can only imagine what you are going through right now. Please stay strong & be patient. I’ll be praying for all of us waiting that we get a response soon and be reunited with our loved ones.
