I asked the EU settlement help line about EU residence cards being valid post June 2021 and they said it was as long as status under the EU settlement scheme is granted. This make sense as they don't seem to be issuing EU settlement scheme residence cards to those who already have one issued under t...
They don't always update the status online even if the application has been approved. When my wife received her pre-settled status in February this year there was no record online I had to ring the EU settlement helpline to correct it. Her status was added a week later. This isn't much of an issue f...
According to EU Rights Clinic Surinder Singh rights are also tied to the single market through the EEA agreement and we are in a transition period similar to Norway agreement therefore it could be argued that Surinder Singh still applies? If the UK was to leave the EU would this close the Surinder S...
Can non-EU citizens of British nationals issued with EEA residence cards under the Surinder Singh route still be allowed to travel visa free to EU countries during the transition period? I contacted the Czech republic embassy recently and they said this will no longer be the case from 1st Feb becaus...

Application received date: 30th October 2019 Biometrics: Not required COA: Received on 8th November 2019 (Dated 4/11/19) with her passport Decision: COA ...

Surinder Singh family members were never included in the withdrawal agreement negotiated by Theresa May. The Home Office are going by the citizen rights part of the withdrawal agreement which means in theory there is no obligation on them to extend the EU settlement scheme to Surinder Singh family ...

Thought I'd share what is our first and probably last experience using the Mrs EU residence card issued under the Surrinder Singh judgment to enter a schengen country. We booked a trip to Algarve in Portugal via Ryan Air from East Midlands Airport (EMA). When arriving at EMA my wife had to get a vis...
EU law still applies to the UK until Brexit day and there should be no problem as long as the return is before 31st October. I hope this will be the case as we have a planned holiday to Portugal at the end of September and Mrs is relying on her EU residence card for entry.
The paragraph I quoted above from the unreported case counters the Home Office argument in O & B that BC must exercise treaty rights on return because the Directive applies by analogy. In this judgment the judge came to the conclusion through O & B that this in not the case as opposed to Eind. Both ...
In this very recent unreported case the UTT judge after analysing the case of O & B came to the conclusion there was no need for BC to be engaged in qualified activities when they return home. 13. Following O and B, the UK national exercising Treaty rights in another Member state before returning ho...
For anyone who is interested, the 61 page application form was obtained through an FOI request along with instructions and eligibility checks the help line staff have to follow when a request for an application form is made. The Home Office has withheld guidance on how the paper applications have to...
The front of the form does state to complete the sections of the form that applies to you. It may be the case that only those people will be asked to provide centre of life info who have not previously been issued a residence card. Since the centre of life requirement is not lawful in EU, they may r...
I think the main change is the Settlement Scheme is that the British citizen does not need to provide evidence of exercising treaty rights such working studying etc There was never a requirement to be a qualified person on return to the UK in EU law. It was invented as another means to refuse appli...
With the Brexit date being put back again its looking unlikely by the day the UK will leave the EU. The Home Office probably acknowledge this and are looking to wrap up the scheme soon hence not bothering with Surinder Singh applications. Just a thought.
As I undertand the online application does not allow you to proceed without the nationality of your sponsor and there is no option to select British Citizen. If this is the case then how can she have applied online even though she holds permanent residence card? Can any one who has applied with perm...
It appears a Surinder Singh application has been made online despite the Home Office stating a paper application has to be made instead. The applicant already holds a Residence Card. https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/home-affairs/immigration/news/103156/excl-foreign-nationals-seeking-settled-stat...
The government website makes clear Surinder Singh applications cannot be made online. https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/applying-for-settled-status Who cannot use this service You cannot use the online service to apply to the scheme if you’re not an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen and ...
Britons living in the EU who return to the UK after Brexit will be able to bring non-British family members until the end of March 2022. The date has been announced in a UK policy paper on citizens' rights in the event of a no-deal Brexit. UK nationals will also be allowed to bring in children who w...
Where a previous biometric residence card has been issued it makes no sense to require applicants to make a paper application especially if they are not going to require evidence of residence in another EEA state. I don't think they have fully thought it through and may make changes to their policy....
