Re: Can I apply for a settled status now despite these discrepancies?

Are you absolutely sure, that one can apply for a femily permit in any country. Please note the answer above refers to the now-defunct / now-unavailable EEA family permit. For that, yes, I am sure it was possible to apply in any country. I know one can apply for a EU Travel permit from abroad, and ...

Re: Splitting from my EU partner. Unmarried partner.

My understanding is also that the Pre-Settled Status will be valid for 5 years and the BRC card will be valid until its expiration date, regardless of whether the relationship has ended or is subsistent. I'd like to add that, because you are unmarried, there is no immediate way of establishing that ...

Re: When did you first arrive in the UK to begin your residency?

Just answer all questions truthfully. If you arrived in the UK in 2012, then answer 2012. They will request proof of your relationship, and it will be clear from your marriage certificate that your residence as a EU family member started in 2018.

Re: Non-Eu child of primary carer with EUSS limited LTR

@kamoe, the OP may have misinterpreted this guidance from June 2022 , which allowed Zambrano primary carers under certain conditions to regularise their status under the EU Settled Status in a six week period between June and July 2022. Right. Thanks @secret.simon, that does add some more legal con...

Re: Non-Eu child of primary carer with EUSS limited LTR

You have applied under the EU Settlement Scheme as a “dependent person with a Derivative right to reside”. However, you are unable to qualify on this basis because a person only has such a right to reside if they were resident in the UK on that basis at 23:00 GMT on 31 December 2020. I'm afraid thi...

I needed a visitor's visa because I didn't apply for a EEA residence card in the UK at the time. You did not need a visitor's visa. You could have applied for a Family Permit in any country; to gain entry back in the UK, which was free, and was usually treated in priority. For this you did not need...

In 2019, my immigration advisor advised me that since I wasn't qualified for a settled status that I should use my last travel entry into the UK, not my first entry exercising my EU right of free movement. That it doesn't matter since I was not qualified anyway. If the purpose of this application w...
