I have just spoken to the EU settled scheme resolution centre, they took some details and said they would be in in touch as the paper applications are not ready yet and might take up to 2 weeks. Surinder Singh applications must be completed by paper and NOT online.
Hello, would anyone know when the paper application forms for Surinder Singh applicants will be released for those who wish to apply for settled status under the EU settlement scheme? seems to be a complete grey area and not much information regarding it?
Where are you getting the information regarding 1st of May? the government seem to be handing out settled status left right and centre to all EU citizens but Non EU citizens having problems. But I’m sure the government don’t mind as they will get more votes to remain in the EU if there was ever a se...
Hello, my wife’s application has been processing for over 1 year and 9 months we have submitted all required documents including a police check from Northern Ireland (accessNI) but this week we received a letter requesting for a DAT1, an up to date criminal check even though we have already submitte...
Hello I’d like to know if anyone knows the requiremts for Surinder Singh applications being made to the new EU settlement scheme? Must the British citizen be exercising treaty rights for the non EU spouse to make an application or is it based on continuous residence?
Initially, I was of the opinion it is pure laziness or incapability of bureaucrats. But now I strongly believe it is a well-engineered policy with a combination of laziness, randomness, and disguise to covertly keep the anti-immigrant policy intact and limit the numbers below certain numbers and ob...
Just curious if anyone knows, will the settled status scheme be fully open for all applicants in the scenario that Brexit is delayed beyond March 29th?
Applied in June 2017 and my wife still waiting, back in October 2018 we received a letter asking for some further documentation like doctors letter, bank statements covering past years, we submitted everything before so don’t know why they asked again, but we did as requested. But why did it take so...
I wouldn’t waste my time to be quite honest. We’ve been waiting over 1 year and 7 months and many people on here are getting their approvals within months.. I don’t know if it’s a filtering process depending on which country the applicant is from (my wife’s from Philippines), EU family seem to be ge...
Eventually got through to the INIS.. they said my wife’s application is still being processed and will go through a final check and that apparently there is a Brexit backlog, probably another year before we get any result, 1 year and 7 months later and still nothing the whole process has been a joke.
Been calling INIS on +353 (62) 32 500 as I’m calling from outside Ireland,to check the status of wife’s application and the phone rings and rings then call gets cancelled or number busy you ring back then same again, what a disgrace you can’t get speaking to anyone.
Yes, if you renounce your British citizenship , you would become solely an Irish citizen from the date your renunciation certificate is issued and your wife would need to meet the requirements applicable to spouses of Irish citizens (at the moment, the same as those for EEA citizens). Thank you for...
Hello, I am a British/Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland, my wife is non EU living here under EEA/UK residence card due to expire later this year. I was not a qualified person for 5 years, as I left work last year to care for my daughter so I don’t believe we are eligible for permanent residen...
Hello, I have previously posted although I would like some clarification on my query. My wife is in the UK (NI) under Surinder Singh, her residence card will expire in May 2019, her permanent residence will be refused as I have not been a qualified person for 5 continuous years as I left work last ...

Many thanks, but move confused than before. Relinquished British passport, have Irish passport and living and working in Northern Ireland. How do I prove I have permanent residence? 5 years of wage slips P60's and bills? Hi there 🙂 I would like to know how long did it take for you to renounce your ...
The response we had was via email. We are not banking on a result happening anytime soon, probably a result of some sort within this year, the whole process is a joke..
Americans don’t need to apply for an EEA family permit to come to the UK, but you will need a family permit if you would like to work while waiting waiting on the residence card which can take up to 6 months.
We had a response from a TD who contacted INIS on our behalf, they said in their reply it is not uncommon for applications to take 2 years or more.. ridiculous.
Good luck waiting on anything from them , my wife applied as the spouse of an Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland, been waiting 1 year and 6 months, no result. Don’t go by other people’s timelines as it means nothing, all you can do is wait basically.
Update got the COA with permission to work today... I’m just updating incase someone comes across this and wondered, I also loved reading other people suscess Hello, hope you are well, I would like to know if you and your husband were successful in your application for the residence card? As far as...
