Quick update guys.

I've received my status approved as Pre-settled though system was showing will be eligible for settled status. Home office is right about my application as I've been married for less than 5 years.

Feel free to ask anything about my application.

BTW, I've applied on 31st of January and confirmation email received today.

Have you heard anything about how we will change from pre settled to settled status
I'm assuming we need to apply again, when we are eligible. I am also assuming this should be free, straightforward, and really quick.
I cannot find any guidance around that. It only says on gov.uk that you can change from pre settled to settled status when you complete five years, but no guidance or information around how it will done by an individual.
As virtually no one is in that case yet (you might be probably the first person!) it's natural they have not published any information. But if it corresponds to my assumptions above, then it is not different than an ordinary application for Settled status, no need for making a special provision.
For an e.g. apply online and select option as changing from pre settled to settled status
This would be wonderful, and will probably be the case when fresh applications for Settled and Pre-Settled status close in June 2021, and only conversion cases from Pre-Settled to Settled remain.
I guess home office is more concerned about EU nationals at the moment hence why plenty of guidance available for them but less concerned about non eea national (third country). Its like shooting in the dark, and if you lucky, you might hit the target (settled status).
Yes. They are concerned by numbers they can show. Absolutely no clarity on what policies are applied for non-EU family members.
Thanks anyway. I think if they do decide to give me pre settled, I would apply for PR then because in that case atleast I will not be in limo and will apply for citizenship year after. I doubt UK is ever going to leave EU so they can't void EEA PR ROUTE !!
Yes, no harm in applying for PR, and it might as well be the only remaining option. Pfff.
Further update on my application:
My wife EU national - sent her id in a post on 8th of April.
Received by HO - On 9th of April
Me as a Non EU- only uploaded marriage certificate and residence card sticker on my passport on 4th of April when submitted application.
Biometric requirement - appointment booked for 12 th of April due to no other free services before.
Biometric completed - on 12 th of April.

My wife EU national: still waiting for status confirmation and not yet received her id back.
Me as a Non EU : God knows what will happen next :)
Update as of 25th of April:

Quick update guys.

I've received my status approved as Pre-settled though system was showing will be eligible for settled status. Home office is right about my application as I've been married for less than 5 years.

Feel free to ask anything about my application.

BTW, I've applied on 31st of January and confirmation email received today.
Hi Rob, congrats on getting your status approved! Were you told when (which date) you'd be eligible for settled status? I'm mainly wondering which date they start counting from (ie. was it from the date of your marriage or possibly even earlier - if you can show proof of being in a relationship with your spouse)? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, if, for example you had an EEA residence Card issued as unmarried partner. Maybe not applicable to this particular case, but it's possible.

Congratulations skasyap !!!
Did you received a settled status physical document?
Not yet but settled status email says it will arrive in next 7 working days.
Settled status granted on 28th and revived biometric residence card on 1st of May.
Congratulations Skasyap

Just a quick one I believe you applied a month prior (4 years 11month) from your eligibility time. Did they give you an option to select settled status/Pre or you got the decision later post submission?

Thanks in advance

Hi Martin

1) When I made an online application, I was considered for settled status and received acknowledgment email.

2) HO sent a COA via email saying I will have my decision soon.

3) HO sent another email regarding status outcome.

Till here no physical document was posted in mail.

4)Received bio metric in post - signed delivery but not Royal Mail.


My 5 years residence card was about to expire on 2nd of May this year, but got settled status date as 28th of April (this means I will be eligible for British Citizenship after 28th of April 2020) and not the date I made my application 5th of April.
In my wife case who is an EU national, and also granted settled status, HO stated her settled status date as date when she made the application 4th of April. I think just for 4 days left on my residence card to qualify 5 years was not an issue for HO.

But again we lived together for more than 8 years on a same address. I have seen people have posted here different things but trust me in the end it’s HO who will decide which status you should be granted by considering different factors and not just rely on what you were told online when you made an application.
So I would emphasise that people here are sharing their experiences which we don’t know how good their past visa/residence history is but only home office.

Make an application and provide what HO ask you to provide and you will be fine and given status which meets their criteria.

Good luck!!
