Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

Looking at all the views, I think most people agree its very unlikely the settled status (ILR) will be cancelled or taken away if it's already granted, this will probably cause lots of uproar and issues than just letting people keep it. I did read a post here from someone that applied for RC or PR (...

Rarely do they act retrospectively though. Yes they did, when the con-lib govt changed the criteria for eligibility for EEA-PR back in 2014 retroactively. I was eligible according to the old criteria but not the new ones. And just one more word: Windrush! Any government can change immigration rules...

Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

I am confident that a settled status, that was legally granted, will not be canceled. It's an application, even though that the HO calls it ''registration''. The Uk government is sovereign and can decide to grant ILR how it pleases, but cannot cancel the ILR in contradiction of it s own laws. The r...

"Appendix EU" was added to UK domestic immigration regulations by statutory instrument - the government said whatever happens they'll go ahead anyway, deal or no deal.

Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

UK law can be amended or over-turned by any elected government. Rarely do they act retrospectively though. PR is under EU regulations therefore cannot be overturned and a Statutory Instrument was necessary to implement Appendix EU for settled status. Another example, state pension rules are changin...

Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

Brexit or not, if you've been granted ILR after having applied for Settled status under the UK immigration law you are Settled, You have been given indefinite leave to remain in the UK. I was deemed to be settled in the 90s but I have lost my status as the law changed in 2000. It said that if I hav...

Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

It will depend very much on the form of brexit we have. If we get a soft Brexit where UK retains access to the single market then free movement continues and applications will have to assessed on the basis of exercising a treaty rights as opposed to just residence under the EU settlement scheme. No...

Re: Brexit Cancelled, What next for Settled (ILR) and Pre-Settled Status

Interesting point so if Brexit is cancelled, the Settled status (ILR) is not worth the paper its written on. This is the reason why I asked initially if the Settle status is set in stone in UK law because as far as I know its part of May's withdrawal agreement that Parliament hasnt passed. I'll like...

Hi all, I've not seen this top discussed anywhere, hence my questions. Please correct me if am wrong, the EU settlement scheme granting Pre-settled and Settled status (ILR) is part of the withdrawal agreement negotiated by Theresa May and the withdrawal agreement has failed to pass in the parliament...

Re: Permanent Residence Card Refused

It might be, but its obvious that except physically lost,it can only be invalid after 2years absence which we can not ascertain now.But reconsideration won't be a bad idea. Less we forget that DCPR was issued in june 2015. I think invalid after 2 years is just a guideline for years of being absent ...

Re: Permanat Recidence Card

You are her direct family member not extended. No, you cant apply with her. You need to hit your own 5 years to qualify. May I ask isn’t it 5 years from the date of marriage? Not just marriage, everything (marriage, EU national exercising treaty right and them been in the UK) should hit 5 year.
