@Nyamebeyo thanks for getting back to me
I used my COA for the online enrolment and they now inform me they won’t accept pending application and that they suggested instantly I won’t be eligible for student loan but to their surprise , the enrolment officer now discovered I have submitted my approved student loan letter which he now apologised and requested that I should provide what evidence I have submitted to student finance for them to approved my loan which I did.

Long story short, They now asked if I have another form of leave which I now provided them my LTR BRP. and in this case they said I will be allowed to continue my study but they will charge me oversea fees which I initially disagree but later I negotiated with them if they can accept my student finance payments £9250 out £15.000 plus then I would pay the remaining balance which they agreed until they changed their mind .

Anyway they suggested I can switch to another course which I am not ready to do and they have not yet withdraw my offer but within me I have decided I will withdraw myself because the stress was too much for me and due to uncertainty about this Zambrano application ,but it would very painful for me because I have already started the course ( MHN) and I been taking necessary injections getting ready for the placement in January.

Mine was also refused but under reg 16 para 5 citing VELAJ, which relates to compulsion of the BC to leave UK. Meanwhile there is no alternative carer & I don't share caring responsibilities.
I am unsure whether to go for administrative review or appeal or both?
Who knows how long an admin review will take? Also I can then put in a PAP for JR
After waiting so long, I really don't have the patience for an appeal because the courts are clogged up.
@Lagosbos, I remember your sis in laws appeal was under reg 16(5).
What do you think?

Did you have leave to remain or not?

Many thanks for your message @Premo85. No I didn't have any leave to remain. I've been given both options for appeal & administrative review.

Do the AR first although frankly there has not be any changes in outcome for those who have been lucky to have had their AR concluded. Timescale is like months, almost as long as appeal waiting time.
So you jumped the hurdle of meeting the their definition of a Zambrano carer but failed at the compulsion bit?
You said there is no alternative carer so why sis they say the child will not be compelled to leave the UK?
I know of cases where the HO has said the child,is 16+ and they can make decisions who they would like to live with or care for them. Is your similar?

It's been quiet here for a while. Want to share something Interesting :
This afternoon, I received our supporting documents by post. While going through the pack, I saw a drafted letter of refusal dated in July for my husband's application.
I can't believe they had already decided his application and drafted a refusal in July and sat on it until Oct 2020. He received his refusal letter on 4th Oct via email and the actual letter was dated 3rd Oct same as mine. So interestingly, there were 3 letters in the pack, my granted settled status, my husband's refused drafted and original letter .
This has clearly exposed them. I think most of the delays are deliberate.

Before I had my status, I had gone to my MP to intervene. They responded to my MPs enquiries that they granted me my status on the same day I applied in Feb 22. I told MP it was not true so she went back to them. Today, they wrote to MP to apologise for incorrect information and the confusion this may have caused, and went on to say I've now been granted settled status.
I'm lost for words.

Do NOT post questions about British Citizenship or British Passports in this topic. These questions have absolutely NO relevance in this topic or the EU/EEA Route sub forum.

Where is the post on British citizenship or British passport? Can't find any or has it been removed. Looks like it was referring to my post and its responses from others.

Finally got my settled status today.
To help this is my timeline. I did not have limited leave to remain at any point.
I am a joint primary carer with my husband who is on the 10 year parent route based on this same British Child of ours.

Jan 2018-Applied for derivative residence after registering my child upon reaching 10yrs in 2016.
Application refused. Appealed and won, Home Office appealed to Upper Tribunal. I won again there.
July 2019- Derivative granted
Nov 2019- applied for EUSS pre settled
Feb 2020-pre settled granted
Feb 2022-applied for settled
Oct 2022- settled status granted

To say I am relieved is an understatement. We thank God and everyone here who help us to remain sane.

Good evening all,

I have received my decision today and unfortunately it was refused. Basically what they said that is that I had a FLR Appendix FM and that I was granted derivate residence in March 2014 (5yrs) but my daughter became a BC on 12/02/15 so as such, from that date until 17 /01/22 when I applied for EUSS I didn't meet the definition of a Zambrano carer.

So I wanted to know if those years from their definition 12/02/15 to 21/09/2019, I couldn't have been a Zambrano carer?.

Before becoming ZC, I held a 5yrs EEA family as I was married to a French national and it was a messy divorce so he refused to provided docs to show that he was exercising EEA treaty when I was applying to ILR.
So the HO granted me the derivative rights back in 2014.
When that expired in 2019, I had to apply to FLR as I was being pestered at work received a dismissal letter and then was granted 2.5 years which expired in June 22.

I have already started the AR process and wants to appeal as well simultaneously.

I need advise especially about including the info abt my previous EEA family member status


*every little information will be greatly appreciated*

Thanks

First of all, sorry to hear of your application refusal.
Your timeline seem a bit confusing. So a bit more clarification will help. So, after your divorce, were you granted retained rights? You mentioned derivative right. However you state your child became BC on 12/02/15, how were you granted derivative right in 2014 if your child wasn't British then?

Assuming you held derivative rights for 5 years, then you could argue those 5 years as the period you were relying on for the settled status.
If it was retained rights instead, then that caveat they apply to anyone with LTR have been applied to you too As they have been saying (although very deceitfully), once you have LTR, you don't qualify as Zambrano carer.
I think if they assessed your application well and did not just dish out refusal template, what they could have done was to have granted you pre settled status for the 4.5 yrs you didn't have LTR. Because you were a Zambrano carer (by their definition) at that time.
