Old EU PR rules for children
Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:10 pm
My son was born in the UK in 2010 to EU parents without 5 years of residence. All of us now have settled status so my son is obviously eligible for registration with form MN1.
My brother however moved to the UK in 2018 and got settled status as our father holds settled status and him being under 21 years old.
I myself moved to the UK in 2008 and we’d have to double check our dates but my father might’ve already completed 5 years of residence by the time my son was born. Was there any equivalent rule for automatic acquisition of the old rules EU permanent residence that could’ve made me settled at the time my son was born, just like my brother’s case with the current EU settlement scheme rules?
I’ve tried to research this but everything I can find relates to the current EU settlement scheme rules. Any advice would be appreciated. Thought it’s worth asking to have a chance to avoid the £1000+ fee and hassle.
Edit: stupidly forgot to mention, I was 20 at the time of my son’s birth in 2010
