I am eu national (Cypriot) been residing in the UK for the last 15 years with settled status. My husband joined me in the UK for the last 2.5 years and has pre-settled status. If I apply for British citizenship to have dual nationality, would it allow my husband to apply for British nationality with...

We still have not heard anything from HO regarding our application. It has been 3 months since application was submitted and fees is still not collected from HO apart from an email to say application is in progress 2 month ago. What to do in this case? Who to contact? Is this safe at this stage to a...

My husband who is a non- eu national has applied for EEA residence card after he obtained his Pre-settlement status. However the fees has not been collected from home office and it worries us. We submitted the application in May 2020 as special delivery and received an email from home office to conf...

Hello everyone. Anyone knows if HO is receiving EEA FM application during this climate? Is their centre temporarily closed during the lockdown of the outbreak? :roll: If they are opened, what is likely to be the processing time for application? I am in the process of sending application + important ...

Difficult to say. Taken to the letter, it could be interpreted that one needs to submit one's EU Settlement Scheme BRC, but that is an unfortunate consequence of having applied in the wrong order. The EEA RC caseworker is not expecting at all a EU Settlement Scheme BRC. Now, if that is the only pie...

1. Would the home office request him to return his pre-settlement card on the basis of his application for EEA RC? Meaning that he can't have the two cards. No. At no point in the application process of the EEA RC are you even asked if you have a EU Settlement Scheme card, hence having one is irrel...

Can anyone make sense of this sentence below? I thought the HO asking for submission of pre-settlement BRC when applying for EEA. "If you currently have or last had: "A residence card (biometric format) confirming your right to reside under the EEA regulations, Or A biometric residence permit confir...

:oops: we went by what we were told my immigration lawyers. Your solicitor was right as he recommended you apply under the new scheme rather than under the one that is being slowly deprecated. As immigration applications are painful and often expensive, nobody wants to apply for a card that will las...

Hello I haven't seen anyone doing it in this order. Most people do the opposite. Still, as both scheme are "compatible" with each other, having one doesn't exclude you from the other. In that sense, I don't see why the Home Office would take away the EU Settlement Scheme card if you apply for an EE...

Hello. Does anyone applied for pre-settlement status then EEA RC? My husband has pre-settlement status BRC. He is a non eu citizen and married to me(eu citizen). He came in to the UK initially with a family permit sticker on his passport. We applied for the pre-settlement rather than EEA RC as we we...

Non-EU with EEA RC received in the beginning of February. Sponsor (husband) has pre-settled status: 15/02/20 - applied for EU Settlement Scheme (id-ed by BRC, gave husbands’ ref number, attached 2 bills and wedding certificate) 15/02/20 - COA 11/03/20 - pre-settled status granted I guess I have a v...

Yes, I was referring to Schengen visa, of course. The process is pretty much the same for any country within Schengen zone: book an appointment through visa application centre, fill in the application form, prepare supporting papers, attend the appointment, give fingerprints of it wasn’t done withi...

Slightly off topic, did you consider getting visa instead? As your husband he can apply with less requirements (no itinerary and financial info), this application is free of charge and is normally expedited compared to standard visit visa. Waiting time for EEA RC makes it completely senseless to ap...

Call the EU settlement scheme contact number 0300 123 7379 or email them using the link https://eu-settled-status-enquiries.service.gov.uk/start Well My spouse is Greek so I go to Greece regularly so I got my schengen visa from the Greece embassy in London. It was free and it takes 2 weeks. well yo...

well u cannot have 2 different residence cards home office will not allow you keep 2 different cards if it was the case they will not tell me to send my eea2 residence card to them so they can destroy it since I have been granted a new card OK I see. To be honest I would rather him keep his pre-set...

hi no i have to apply for schengen visa to visit Europe with my settled status and to be honest even when I had my EEA2 residence card I always applied for multiple schengen visa as it was a way of avoiding issues at the border All EEA2 residence cards will not be valid from 31st December 2020 beca...

@zadith14 I had a EEA2 residence card and now I have settled status biometric card. Home office ask me to send my old card back ( the EEA2 residence card) since they have sent me my new card I see. But you already had the EEA2 residence card before you applied for settlement status. Can you travel ...

Hello everyone Is there anyone (non eu national )who applied for pre-settlement status BRC as family member of eu national before EEA2 residence card? My husband has pre-settlement status granted on his BRC and we are in the process of applying for EEA2 for him to aid him to travel visa free in Euro...

They are asking for EU residence documents. His current pre-settled BRP is UK specific and should not be submitted Thanks Zimba. We will only submit his passport since his family permit is attached to one of the pages on his passport. I know that the EU residence card may be discontinued in Dec 202...

Nothing happens. As I explained they are not related Thanks a lot Zimba. We are both applying online for residence card. Although I don't need a document certifying my permanent residence as eea national but thought this will be the quick way to do it online rather than paper as it is giving me the...

The pre-settled or settled status under the EU settlement scheme is simply based on UK immigration rules . This means such status is UK specific and has no legal standing anywhere else. EU residence cards are separate. Do NOT mix UK pre-settled status cards with EU residence cards. :!: Your husband...

Hello there I have tried numerous venues to get my answers to my query but was unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some guidance regarding travelling to Europe with pre-settlement status. My husband non-eu citizen has been granted 5 years of pre-settlement status on his biometric residence card....
