Hi Simon, Thanks for this. Sorry to bother you further but wondered if you have a link that mentions that children aren't subject to the one year wait. I've looked on gov.uk and it doesn't mention it on this link: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/after-youve-applied I'm wanting ...
I think I know why they are suggesting PR over settled: Quote from a law firm's site: On the other hand, however, the new settled status appears to be less advantageous than the current Permanent Residence. Currently EEA nationals who have resided in the UK for longer than five years are able to ...
Thanks, Simon.

Should he apply for citizenship through me via the marriage route, or through the 5 year route? I assumed that the ...
Hi, thanks for your response. No - my husband is not a British Citizen. Yes - he has permanent residence status - granted on October 2005 - 3 years prior to our eldest's birth. So what you are saying is that because he has permanent residence status, he has passed this on by default to our child who ...
Hi guys, I've spoken with HO several times, receiving conflicting advice, so I am hoping to find guidance here regarding my child's status and what next steps are. The detail: I have lived in UK since 2001. I applied for ILR in 2002 - and was granted it. (My husband is Danish). As part of that ...
