Answering my own question here: I only supplied the pdf copy, there was no issue, visa granted.

Has anyone recently applied for a French spouse visa in London? If so, could you tell me if a digital version of the marriage certificate copy (copie intégrale) is accepted, or if they absolutely need to see originals? We got married in Scotland, and as per procedure, we had our marriage certificate ...

So basically we’re saying the same thing that they would need to maintain continuous residence for both status right? Re reading your post I can see that you meant to say the same thing, but did not spell it out. They would need to maintain a continuous residence that has begun before December 31st ...

Or do I have to apply for another BRC showing my settled status? And how do I apply? Where do I apply? As advised above, read carefully what the letter tells you. Maybe wait some days, then if nothing comes, you can apply to change from an (expired EEA BRC) to a new EUSS BRC here: https://visas ...

They should technically issue one Not really. They don't usually issue one if at the time of granting status one has a valid biometric card. Given the card expired the same day is a tricky border case. I'd say there's a chance of this being a "computer says no" case, and that a card will not be ...

I just want to be able to visit for the amount of time necessary to keep resetting the 2-years countdown. You cannot "keep resetting" your status. It does not work that way. If you have already broken your continuous residence period, your status will expire on the 5th anniversary of your pre ...

you will need to make another application once your pre-settled status has reached the 5 year mark If the continuous residence has been broken they will not qualify for either of pre-settled or settled status. At every application, one needs to justify a continuous period of residence that started ...

Thanks! One more question: if I become a British citizen, does it have any implications to the pre-settled status of my spouse? It was issued on the basis of being a family member of the EU citizen and becoming British affects that basis: does it matter in any way? There is the question of your ...

1. If I become a British citizen, does it mean that the earliest date my spouse can apply is early 2025? It depends when you get British Citizenship and when your spouse gets Settled Status. The earliest your spouse can apply for Settled Status is autumn 2024 (see answer below). You will need to ...

Relationship started November 2021. The crux is here. " The relationship must have started by 31 December 2020 and must still exist. " https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/join-EU-EEA-Swiss-family-member Your case does not therefore meet the conditions to apply under the EU route ...

He arrived before 30/06/2021. June 30th 2021 was not the deadline for arriving, but the deadline for applying. The deadline for arriving as a EU citizen was December 31st 2020. Joining family members (wether these are EU citizens or not) have never had a deadline for arriving in the UK, but these ...

Italian citizenship is sometimes reinstated as if it was since birth - not sure if it's relevant here, but could be.

True. If, and only if, the OP's son arrived in the UK before 31st December 2020.

I believed that after he provided the documentation with his Italian passport from the EU, he could continue independently and attain full pre-settlement rights, considering his immigration status would now be ‘Pre-settled’ and not associated with an EU settlement family member. No. In order for him ...

I have a question for you, the brd card I have is pre-settle but I bought settle 4 years ago, the date of this expires in June next year, do I need to renew my card in June, the system already shows settle.thanks There is no legal obligation for you to have a physical card showing your updated ...

She enrolled for secondary school and has passed her GCSE but the challenge is she is being asked to produce her status to be accepted into University. Do you mean A-levels? You need A-levels to apply for University. She is living with our Aunty who is under the EUSS. On top of @secret.simon's ...

Hi, this might be a silly question but how someone can obtain settled status in 4 years :shock: If by that you mean 4 years of total UK residence, this is not usually possible. As far as I know, this is possible for children for EU citizens who have Settled Status, but not for any other joining ...

I also gave him a share code which I had generated. This is useless outside of the UK. Share codes are not meant for Stupid, but for landlords and employers, and other UK authorities, to check your status. Stupid will always want a physical document, so it's usually best to travel on the strength ...

when can he is eligible to apply for Settled status… after living together 5 years which are completing on 25 Nov 2023? He will be eligible for Settled Status after completing 5 years as the family member of a EU national who exercised treaty rights before Brexit. Simply moving in together does not ...

I am starting to suspect that the language used to refer to an individual's immigration history was designed for non-EU nationals, because immigration was not an issue for EU nationals. For instance, wording similar to "wiping out" of one's immigration systems could refer to contexts where the ...

Just useful information I confirmed today: My Settled Status still shows up on the "Prove your status" website , even though I naturalised over a year ago. Wondering if other people have also confirmed this, and wether this works as emergency measure at border controls, e.g. A dual EU citizen with ...

So, question 1 - I reckon because my old BRC is expired / about to expire I will get this card in a couple weeks time? If by the time you applied it was still valid, then no, you will not receive a new card automatically. Question 2 - My wife was granted settled status a while ago. However, she ...

if I am a dual citizen and my wife in a non-EU with pre-settled status, does it mean she will have to apply for settled status by post? That is what I said, yes. She calls and asks for a Lounes application; they'll ask her name as they have to pre-fill the name in the form for her. No idea why they ...

Have you lived in the UK as the spouse or durable partner of an EEA citizen?

Given the OP has already pre-settled status and their BRC is expiring soon, I am pretty much assuming the answer to that is yes... (but hey you never know ).

After calling the resolution centre I'm being asked now to send the application through post. is that the case for such cases? Yes, you are a Lounes case. That is, family members of British citizens who were previously EU citizens and had status under EEA rules or the EU scheme before becoming ...

I guess I’m trying to figure out if she needs to renew her status in 2024 so that I don’t have any issues renewing mine in 2026, or whether this is all a non-issue considering the court ruling. Difficult to tell how straightforward the process would be if he does not "renew", but as of today, up ...
