Hello Everyone!
I just received this email from EU Settlement Team. I submitted two applications to HO. The first one was an online application and and the second was a paper application.In a nut shell they have narrowed the application to one.
Dear xxxxx
Thank you for your application under the EU Settlement Scheme. Unfortunately, your application is not valid and we are unable to accept it.
What this means for you
Your application is not valid for the reasons set out below. If you wish to successfully apply for status under the EU Settlement Scheme you will first need to make a valid application.
Why your application has been rejected as invalid
To qualify under the Scheme you need to make a valid application. The requirements for a valid application are set out in Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules. Paragraph EU9 of that Annex sets out when an application is valid. You can find out more about the requirements here
https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families.
For an application to be valid, it must be made using the required application process. Your application was not made using the required application process because you have applied online for a derivative right consideration.
The required paper application form to be used by a family member of a qualifying British citizen can be obtained by following the guidance on gov.uk here: at
https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-ci ... lying-for- settled-status.
You were sent a notification on 13 January 2020 which advised you to contact the Settlement Resolution Centre.

For the reasons explained above your application submitted online on 21 November 2019 has been closed as it is not valid.
