Hi 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

Hi,

Apologies if i missed it previously, but has anybody got a list of required documents that has to be sent with the settlement scheme application form for Surinder Singh? Perhaps someone has a blank copy of an application form they could share?

My wife and I are planning to move to the UK in the summer and we are just trying to get ahead of the game and have as much documentation etc. ready for when we arrive in the UK, so to be able to read through the form would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Lee

Hi Craig,

My Non-EEA wife and I went through a similar route (SS 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 SS 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... 8)

Good luck and please keep us updated how you get on.

Hi,

Managed to find previous post with copy of the paper form etc. so now have details on requirements.

Another question I have is if it is possible to simply travel to the UK for a week or 2 to visit my family, which would show we had been "resident for 1 day in the last 6 months", request the paper form to be sent to my families address, return to Republic of Ireland and continue working here etc. as we have been, send the application form from here once my family has passed it on to us, then just wait for the decision as we carry on our lives here in the Republic of Ireland? We are very happy in our jobs here and saving plenty to buy a house in the future, so would be preferable to carry on as we are and not need to be looking for work in the UK just yet.

I spoke to 2 different people at the Resolution centre and they both said there would be no issue with this, but I like many others do not trust everything they advise!

For clarity, I am a British citizen, my wife non-eu, we should hopefully have the EEA Family Permit in the next 2 or 3 weeks (according to estimated time given), and would be applying for pre-settled status as we have not lived together in UK, only made a few visits.

Hello everyone

I would like to update my timeline so you can have an idea about how things are currently going.

Form received by HO: 14th Oct 2019
Passport returned: 22nd Oct 2019
Biometrics letter received: 22nd Oct 2019
Biometrics enrolled: 24th Oct 2019
COA: 5th Nov 2019
Approval email received: 18th Feb 2020
BRC received (Pre-settled status): 20th Feb 2020

I wish you all good luck! From what I can notice, HO is taking around 20 weeks from Biometrics to decide at the moment.

All the best x

Hi RepublicofScot2020,

Thanks. This is helpful. We're planning to submit council tax bills, bank statements and a few other bits and bobs to prove residence for the full five years.

One additional question. It seems you had to do biometrics? Reading the form, my take was that this was not necessary if you already possessed an EEA residence card?

Cheers,
Craig

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
Yes the Irish RC was enough to move to the UK and live here since 2017, provided spouse stayed in employment within 3 months of returning to the UK, which she did. The EEA family permit should generally have been applied for though to prove right of work etc, but it is not a requirement.
Hi Airfan

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
Hi would I also need to prove of job in the UK or my British suponser need to prove of job?
Hi

Actually I am not sure. As for as I am aware only the EU citizen need to start working in the first three months. Better make sure though.

Thanks for that. we applied before you and still have not received a decision.

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.

Hello

All I did so far during all these 4 months was sending two emails to the centre and phoned them once in January. I went to visit my MP and left my details but she didnt get back to me confirming she contacted the EU Resolution Centre, so I cannot assure you that she did it for now. In my opinion, its worth trying.

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?

I hadn't heard from the HO for a while so I was thinking about my wife's application while trying to get myself out of bed – got up and switched the computer on to post on the forum and that exact second got a text from my wife saying "I got a text 'Your UK Visa & Immigration item(s) are scheduled for delivery today". A bit weird! Anyway I have my wife's card in my hand now.

We sent a German paper vignette so my wife got a credit card size residence card.

My timeline.
8 October: Call and request a paper form.
11 October: get the paper form
16 October: send the form with all the necessary evidence and documents.
19 October: Receive back our passports and National ID (HK national id, sadly not an EEA one). With a biometrics form.
19 October: Submit biometrics immediately at the Post Office
30 October: Receive COA (letter sent 28 October).
6 March: Receive COA.

Hi all,

I applied for the settle status about 6 months ago. However, I am still awaiting for a decision.

Here is my timeline

Form received by HO: 10th of Sept 2019
Form Sent:24th Sept 2019
Passport returned: 30th Sept 2019
Biometrics letter received: 30th Sept 2019
Biometrics enrolled: 30th Sept 2019
COA: 26th Oct 2019
Approval email received: ***Waiting***
BRC received (Pre-settled status): ***Waiting***

I contacted my MP last week, and 2 days ago I received an email from her saying they contacted the Home Office and they should receive a response in 20 days.

Let's see what happens, this situation is being frustrating and is causing some anxiety issues. :(

Hi 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 😭

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?

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....

Only once a decision is made, will a paper applicant be able to access a status online.

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.

Status can be viewed online.

Hi

When you say strongly worded complaint made, who did you addressed the complaint to? I have sent several email to the Settlement Resolution, but their response is 'we apologise for the delay, but we advise you to be patient until a decision is made.

This is what I found online, the best way to fast track an application:

What if the Home Office has not decided your case within the timeframe?

You have six potential ways to seek expedition to your case. Below are the steps you can take, and it is not necessary to follow the same order.

Contact the Home Office, preferably in writing. You should include the following information in your letter/email:
Your full name, date of birth, nationality.
Your current address.
The Home Office reference number.
Type of application you submitted.
The date the application was submitted.
When you expected the decision to have been made by in accordance to the Home Office timeframe.
Give dates of any previous chase up letters sent to the Home Office.
Most importantly, the effect of the delay in considering your application is having on you and/or your family.
If you applied within the UK, then you should write to the Home Office department where you initially sent your application to.

If you submitted your application out of the country, you should direct your email to https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk. You can call the UK Visas and Immigration, but it is advisable to have something written to them and have a written response, which you can use for the steps below.

2: Make a formal complaint via https://www.gov.uk/government/organisat ... -procedure, If you have not received a reply to your chase up letter or if the response is not what you expected. You should provide all the information as mentioned in step 1 and enclose any chase up letters and responses you have received from the Home Office. The complaints department will investigate and should respond to you within 20 working days.

3: Contact your local MP. You can find your local MP via https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/. It is essential that you provide all the information related to your case so that your MP can make the appropriate enquiry.

4: Complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman if the Home Office internal complaint process did not resolve your issue, or the MP was unable to assist you further. You must ask your MP to refer the matter to the Ombudsman, who will make a final decision.

5: Consider legal action by submitting a pre-action protocol letter. You can use the following proforma: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ial-review. The pre-action protocol is a mechanism used to resolve the issues between two parties before considering lodging court proceedings. The Home Office aims to respond within 21 days.

6: Lodge a Judicial Review application as a last resort, if all above steps do not resolve your issues. As a case has been lodged against the Home Office, this usually resolves the matter quickly. Judicial Review is complex, costly and should only be used if there is a significant delay which renders the Home Office action as unlawful.

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.

Status can be viewed online.
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)

I’m glad the person you helped was able to get their status :)
