Becoming a British Citizen thru EUSS queries

[lemoneye]

Hello everyone.

I need your help regarding a series of matters. I have had my british citizenship application approved and in November I will have the ceremony. As I understand, I will lose settled status. I plan on travelling frequently to my home country, Romania. So when I leave the UK to Romania I will have to use my Romanian passport and when I come back I must use my British passport? As I won’t have settled status anymore.

Also another thing that worries me. My wife is non-EU and she joined me in the UK in July 2020. In august 2020 she got pre settled status as a direct family member as she is my wife. We continue to live together in the UK. In July 2025 she will have to apply for Settled Status as she will have 5 years of pre-Settled status, but as far as I remember she must give my unique reference settled status number to be linked to her application for settled status. As I will be British and not have EUSS settled status anymore, I presume I will not be able to give her that unique reference number anymore. Can she apply without my unique reference number? As she joined as my wife thru EUSS scheme. I do not want to have a surprise and her not being able to apply for EUSS settled because of me not having settled status anymore and being British. I also don’t earn a lot of money so I wont be able God forbid to apply for her thru a British Route for Spouse Visa.

Can you help me out please as I am very confused?

This query is for the EUSS subforum - you can still provide your EUSS reference as your status doesn't get deleted, just isn't valid for immigration purposes for you. Your wife won't lose her rights, she may just have to apply under a slightly different route.
