I understand that the required period 5 years of residence for the settled status will be interrupted if the person has stayed out of the country for 6 months+ in any 12 month period. This is clear to me. In another context, it also states that the pre-settled status will be voided after an absence ...

Dear all, I'm trying to understand the definition of "2 consecutive years". I have not found the needed answer in any government guidance or other sources. Situation -Absence March-July 2020 (Corona related) - while maintaining residence and UK employment -Left UK in September 2020 (no more residenc...

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-eu-settlement-scheme-guidance-for-applicants#above You can stay outside the UK for up to 12 once (in one year) and can officially argue like this "absent from the UK for another reason relating to coronavirus, for example, you left or remained outside...

Well, but that would mean I could be absent for 12 months in 2020 and again for 12 months in 2021. And in the end the residency requirement for settled status would not be affected?

As good as it sounds, I can't really believe it since this would undermine the whole set of rules.

Does anyone has an idea or a link where I may read about this myself? Thanks in advance!

Hi, can't directly comment on this but maybe the absence calculator from the3million group helps? https://www.the3million.org.uk/absence-calculator

Thanks for this. I have noticed this in another post, but I'm not clear on how and if my first period of absence counts.

Hi all, I understand that once I have been absent from the UK for more than 180 days in any 12 months period, I can no longer apply for settled status. I also understand that my pre-settled status will become invalid once I have been absent for 2 years. I as absent in as below: Mid March 2020 - End ...

She may be unable to retain a right of residence without a divorce.

HI Vinny, do you have a link to official Home Office guidance (i.e. one of these lengthy PDF documents) on this?

This is both given. We are married for about 5 years and we are in the UK for 2.5 years. Do you have a link to official Home Office guidance on this? https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/not-EU-EEA-Swiss-citizen Thanks for this. We have both already been granted pre-settled status...

Her current "Family member of an EEA national" Visa is valid for 3 more years. However, if I have understood correctly, this won't be valid anymore once I left the UK even if we would just stay married. Correct? Yes, I agree. Article 10 cards bearing the mention "Family Member of an EEA national" a...

You said you guys are married for 5 years and been in Uk for 2 years and half, it all means he can stay in uk without. He is legally required to apply for retained right of residence, if she had a job to enable her to live and work in uk with you unfortunately. 5years or marriage and 2and half year...

Hi Zerubbabel, Thank you for your reply. Hello If the marriage lasted 3 years including minimum 1 year in the UK before the start of divorce proceedings, she will be able later to apply for Settled status (once she has 5 years in the UK). This is both given. We are married for about 5 years and we a...

Hi all, I would be grateful of some advice on the following case - Me (EEA citizen) wants to seperate (and divorce as soon as possible) and leave the UK - we both have pre-settled status under the EEA settlement scheme and are in the UK since Oct 2017 - Non EEA spouse would like to remain in the UK ...

Excellent. Thank you so much

Hi all, unfortunately it is not working well between me (EU citizen) and my wife (non eu). I'm thinking to move out and she would move closer to her workplace. We would remain married. She has a EEA family member residence card which was issued about 18 months ago. Are we legally allowed to live apa...

Consulting with many solicitors this is what I have gathered There is no minimum income requirements for EEA citizen to quality for the Permanent residence As a self employed you have to demonstrate the work was genuine and effective The reason behind this is as it’s below the PET(primary earning t...

Hi all, I've tried to find something on this topic, but failed so far. What is the income requirement for being a qualified person through self employment? Is it the same as for being employed (i.e. reaching an income level which makes NI contributions obligatory)? Thanks in any case. Best wishes, N...

Please follow the official list of documents required. It is generally helpful to precisely, but briefly elaborate your case. Of particular importance are information on periods you've spend locally separated from each other. Screenshots of chat histories are helpful to prove this. There is no requi...

Thanks for this. I'm still confused on this one: Does she need to hold CSI? She is paying national insurance. However, I was told elsewhere she needs CSI, which is confusing to me. Yes, for both the EU citizen and the spouse/dependents. Thanks again for your help. No more questions on this shall fo...

Your Non-EEA spouse's employment is irrelevant. YOU as the sponsor need to hold CSI throughout the qualifying period if you are not working.

I understand that. But what if I just stop paying it? I mean the residence permit is issued for five years...

Hi all, First at all I would like to thank this forum for the great help it is. I wanted to add our timeline of application to the list, but can't find it. Could someone help me out please?
