A beta trial of the EU settled status scheme will open later on this month. Why not wait for it, rather than a lengthy PR application?

Does anybody else have any input on this?

Are you a EU national or Indian? Why the Indian flag?

See this thread for background information and advice already given on similar question.

There was no advice given there. This question is about ESA; the other thread was about retained worker status, but in a completely different context.

===MODS PLEASE DO NOT MERGE THIS QUESTION INTO AN EXISTING THREAD===

Can a period on ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) count as "exercising treaty rights" in any way? If so, in which circumstances?

Thanks.

How does settled status card look like?
Anybody wants to share photo?

There's no card.

The two threads were sufficiently similar and related to the same definitions of law (the definition and retention of worker status under the EEA Regulations). They were merged to ensure that anybody responding to either query was aware of the advice that was already given. Well, if that's the case...

Too many topics have been and are being merged into other topics they don't belong to. This appears to be a constant practice. I've just had a topic of mine merged into an existing thread with a completely different topic.

I wonder why this happens, if not out of spite and/or to show who is the boss.

With reference to either the 2006 or the revised 2016 EEA regulations, article 6: (2) A person who is no longer working shall not cease to be treated as a worker for the purpose of paragraph (1)(b) if— (a) he is temporarily unable to work as the result of an illness or accident; would a brief perio...

One year in this context will be the anniversary of the date you first started working in the UK. That does not mean only period when you were physically employed. A period of jobseeking following involuntary unemployment having worked for a certain period, or period when you were unwell are all ad...

As she's been in UK since 1993, she'll have to apply for a DCPR; then she'll be entitled to UC.

Hi Rooibos
No idea how to - don't think my account has tgat facility.
Wrote an e-mail to the mods about a month ago asking for PMs to be enabled - no answer.

Ok, what's the other forum you mentioned? I tried to register an account but it wouldn't let me.

On another immigration forum I'm part of, UKCEN, they advise that gaps in employment of up to six months, whether you were in or out of the UK, are fine - given once you have worked in the UK, you retain worker status for at least six months, sometimes more. A number of people with multiple gaps in...

Thanks crazydaz but this doesn't really address my question.

For the purpose of obtaining a DCPR and with reference to: - Universal Credit guidance (see C1392 p. 17) and - The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 (reg 6(2)(b)), how should the fragment " having been employed in the United Kingdom for at least one year " be interpreted? Is that...

Yes, some have successfully got PR, some not. If you look at some earlier posts (maybe 1-2 years ago) you'll find some of these cases. It all depends on the caseworker, but, strictly speaking, you have to prove 5 years without gaps. https://www.immigrationboards.com/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=post...

Why was the arrest recorded on the PNC in the first place? Did you request a SAR from ACRO:

You can have gaps of up to six months in any one year of the five - without needing to give any evidence of what you were doing.

Where do you get this from? It'd be good for me, though.

I am not sure if this has ever been linked here. If not, here it is:
