Thank you so much for your swift reply. So, to be clear, I can renew my Maltese passport as usual in Malta during one of my short visits there. Return to UK with both my old passport (with CoE-RoA) and my new passport. Then apply to renew my CoE-RoA in UK, and explain this to the immigration office...

My answers assume that you live in the UK. (a) Can I apply for Settled Status? Yes. I can't see the EU allowing discrimination against EU citizens with right of abode in the UK, even if you personally don't have permanent residence under the EEA Regulations. Its validity will arise from the EU Withd...

I am non-eu, I used to live in UK for 2 years (2017 % 2018)as a full time post-graduate student. I am now married to an EEA national; she lives, works and studies in UK. You can apply under the EU settlement scheme. You may face future accusations of lying to an immigration officer when you entered...

My suggestion is either reapply, or if the application is still in process, to try sending the following question via https://eu-settled-status-enquiries.service.gov.uk/question-about-existing-application . Do check that what is said is true - I have made at least two assumptions. The question needs...

My mistake. Sorry. I had assumed that one could only have a 'documented right of permanent residence' if one had a right of permanent residence. Even if I had been right, you would probably have had 5 years continuous residence that would qualify you for settled status.

I m a french citizen residing in uk applied for settled status with my 3 yrs old son and received settled status for both . My wife is from India and on EU dependant visa holding 5 years residence card living with me since 2016 . I have already applied EU settled application for my wife through mob...

@cleo22 people on ILR now must have held ILR for a year before applying for citizenship (unless spouse of a BC). So I would expect no difference there, as "settled status" is basically the same as ILR. One very big difference is that the 5 years leading up to PR based on 5 years presence are spent ...

Reposting as I messed up the quote delimitations. I believe we are, technically, on the same page if I am understanding your concern correctly? Just about. However, the only relaxation over CSI is in respect to the immigration rules. I have seen no announcement of any relaxation in the EEA Regulatio...

I believe we are, technically, on the same page if I am understanding your concern correctly? Just about. However, the only relaxaion over CSI is in respect to the immigration rules. I have seen no announcement of any relaxation in the EEA Regulations or in the naturalisation requirements. It doesn...

It's illegal in international law to make a person stateless. Children automatically have their parents' nationality and you cannot renounce on their behalf (I. E Under 18). So their current nationality is what yours is That is not universally true. Many nationalities do not descend to generations ...

So you recommend lying?

I'd say 'yes', and see if that causes any problems. You should be able to go back and change your answers; it is very easy to click the wrong answer in an on-line form.

I was wondering if I was ever in situation coming back on my (non-uk) EU passport (rather than obvious choice of the UK passport), would passport control not be aware of my PR status, on EU passport? Or at least the fact that I am indeed British? Is there any law against British citizens lying to I...

We came over on Ancestry and had no issues getting IDL. Kids were born before we had IDL. They aren't registered in our original country as we only wanted them to have UK citizenship. Likewise, other half and I are renouncing our "old" citizenship and plan to live in the UK. My child is disabled an...

In breach of the immigration laws" is a very particular term, defined in the BNA 1981. Even if an EU citizen is residing in the UK on the basis of EU law but not "by virtue of any provision made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972", then EU law will not prevent his being "in bre...

Hi All My son was born in UK. He was not registered as my home country citizen and has not travelled outside UK. I received my ILR last week and want to apply for my son's MN1 and register as british citizen. What should i say for below things in MN1 application? 1. Country of nationality Type the ...

I know of at least one person (friend) - possibly more but I have not asked specifically - who was able to obtain settled status under the Settlement Scheme despite spending only 1y exercising treaty rights through employment (exempt from CSI) and 4y as a student without CSI. What do you think you ...

The application can be basically done a couple of days after she arrives to UK. She need to prove one day of residency with a bill, so make sure you include her into water/electricity bill AND the bill is issued a couple of days after she crossed the UK border Doesn't this mean a very tight time sc...

And they shouldn't issue you one in your maiden name!

An embassy letter saying you can't change your name is your best hope. Remember, British citizens don't have a right to a passport. If we want to re-enter the UK, we just have to avoid the ports.

In the Guidance for Caseworkers making decisions on naturalisation by discretion, there is a phrase that says something along the lines "EU citizens are not considered to be in breach of immigration law". Based on that phrasing, I don't think being in breach of immigration law applies to EU citizen...

There's also been at least one tribunal or court ruling that time before counts towards the qualification for PR. Can you share details? Yes! The judgement is recorded at SSHD v. Idrissa Kamagate and it was discussed at topic https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea4-pr-applicat...

Irrelevant in his case. He has got settled status under the new EU settlement scheme. The Scheme allows students and unemployed but self sufficient people to get the equivalent of PR without sickness insurance. Does settled status retrospectively change whether one was 'in breach of the immigration...

5 years after the establishment of my relationship with my EU sponsor (in my case, the date my EEA card was issued), regardless of any cohabitation time before that, and regardless how long I have been in the UK. Did they use the phrase "establishment of relationship"? That can be taken several way...

2. I have spent quite a lot of time outside the UK since April 2018 - will this affect my application for settled status?

If you have retained PR, this will not be a problem in law. You may have to find evidence that you have not lost PR by a 2-year absence.

Thanks very much for your reply. So I will apply for the PR then settled status after that. They do not qualify for registration because they were born after I became British Citizen and that, they are deriving their status through my wife (their step mother) who is EEA citizen. If you're not inter...
