Re: EU Settlement Scheme & Toufik Lounes cases

Hi For the one you got CoA, do you know when exactly your case was allocated to the case worker? It looks like my case still hasn’t been allocated to the caseworker (CoA issued on 12nd of Aug, Lounes Case). Did it take you a month for it to be allocated to the caseworker? The case was allocated to ...

Re: Heathrow Immigration Control - Mixed Passports

I always went to non-EU line with my non-EEA spouse, even though I held EU/British passport, our child BC too. However, I found that the non-EU line is faster than EU queues in certain airports (Luton, Liverpool) that receive mainly flights within EU. Nobody ever minded me or my child with a EU/Brit...

Re: EU Settlement Scheme & Toufik Lounes cases

We have been advised over the phone by the EU Resolution Centre that the "service standard" for the paper applications is 6 months. However, I doubt EU Settlement Scheme applications would on average take that long. I guess it would vary a lot on each individual circumstances, whether they need to ...
