Hi Craig,foggyhorse wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:23 pmHi all,
My wife and I have been back in the UK for five years now after living in Malta for six months prior to that. She has a UK-issued EEA residence card so I'm wondering whether, when applying for settled status, we actually need to provide all the evidence (again) that shows we lived and worked in Malta? Has anyone in a similar position done so, or is the fact she has said card evidence enough? Also, am I right in assuming that the main evidence one needs to provide in these circumstances is paperwork to prove we've been living together in the UK for the past 5 years? Things like bank statements, council tax bills etc...
Thanks in advance,
Craig

My Non-EEA wife and I went through a similar route (Surinder Singh route route via Austria) & timescales. She has an EEA residence card and applied for settled status in December 2019.
The card should be enough and the Surinder Singh route paper application form you need to fill in should be straightforward. You and your partner though will probably have to also submit proof of UK residence for the last 5 years. My wife and I just sent of copies of the last 5 years worth of council tax bills, which so far seems to be enough.
No need to send all that centre of life nonsense again which I presume you did when you received a family permit 5 years ago...![]()
Good luck and please keep us updated how you get on.

Hi Airfan
Thanks very much for the replay. I thought you applied for Ireland, my mistake as u lived in Ireland from 2015- 2017. Ok so applied from within UK, did you get a visa to get to uk or the 5 years Irish RC was enough to move to UK and live there since 2017?
Just for information though, EU citizens can make complaints to SOLVIT online stating the difficulties an EU citizen and their families facing. SOLVIT have a direct contact with each EU country's HO.
Regards
Thanks very much for the replay much appreciated. Also many Congratulations on your pre settled. Anything new post Brixit or changes shared would appreciated as well.
Regards

Did you do anything to hurry them up or just wait? I called but they couldn't tell me anything, thinking of trying my MP although she is fairly useless.
Congratulations, Ryuzaki! I've been waiting for 2 months so guess I should brace myself for 3 more... did you do anything to speed it up (call, write, MP?) or did you just wait patiently? It's a long time to wait... did you travel in the mean time?
Hi WORRIEDUK, would you mind sharing which link you're using, as the 'old' link I have hasn't worked for me over the past 2 weeks?worrieduk wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 11:48 pmHi all. I’ve been checking my husband’s status everyday online and it said “details don’t match our records” but today I checked and the following message showed up:
We cannot find your status
This might be because your application is in progress.
Even if you do not have settled status, you may have continuing rights to stay in the UK as an EU citizen or as a family member of an EU citizen under the Free Movement Directive or under existing immigration law. You can evidence this using your ID document or an immigration document issued by the Home Office.
I wonder what this means. I really hope it’s not a refusal. Did anyone else get this before finding out the result of their application?
As if I wasn’t anxious enough already![]()

Your message probably means that they've updated the system as over the past two weeks I got a message that said that the system is not currently working and to try again later....

If a status is not showing online, then it means a decision has not been reached.
Just a bit of update for an application I made on behalf of a Surinder Singh applicant.
Application lodged on 25th September 2019.
BIOMETRIC ENROLLED ON THE 18th October 2019.
Strongly worded complaint and JR threat lodged on 7th March 2020.
Status issued 11-03-2020, accompanied by an apology for delay.

Thank you Obie. I just found it strange how all of a sudden the online status check site changed. It even had my husbands email to send a confirmation code to use to check the status online. I know I’m just worrying too much (hence the username lol)Obie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 12:49 pmOnly once a decision is made, will a paper applicant be able to access a status online.
