Hi All and Happy new year!
I want to ask anyone who has information or already went through application for pre-settled status.
My situation: I came on EEA Family Permit to the UK on 12/12/20.
I have already requested an application for NiNo, but they are taking so long to send it.
I have registered with the local GP, they sent me a letter, but they typed my name wrong, I could use this as some kind of proof that I am here and resident on my wifes address. It stated the date which I did the registration (17/12/20), I chase the GP just to correct my name, but they keep complicating it.
I have registered with Monzo, but still waiting for my bank card to come through, so I can start using it, so it shows that I live here, unfortunately this is taking long too.
So is it okay if I show my passport stamp and my boarding pass as a proof that I entered UK? What are the requirments for pre-settled status, the government website is not very clear, they only say that they need marriage certificate, but I doubt that's the case.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. These are the minimum requirements for Pre-Settled status, and as per the EU Settlement Scheme Caseworker Guidance page 133, this is proof enough you have been resident fort a month.

Because the documents listed below cover a shorter period, the applicant may need to submit more of them to evidence that they meet the residence requirement. Where an applicant submits evidence from this list, a single piece of evidence is likely to be sufficient for the period it covers:
(...)

• a passport stamp confirming entry at the UK border - this will be treated as evidence of residence for the month of entry

• a used travel ticket confirming previous inbound travel to the UK - this will be treated as evidence of residence for the month of entry

Thank you! Now is more clear

Hello Guys,
Please I need some urgent info! I submitted online application for my pre-settled status today, all was easy and straightforward, until they redirect me to book an appointment on the UKVCAS. What a nightmare! Firstly there were no available free appointments, so I had to pay 135 pound for an appointment that is in one month but any how thats not the point.

My question is - after you booked an appointment, on the website it says that I need to upload mandatory documents and optional documents, but I already uploaded everything on the UKVI with my application, I thought this is only for bio, it is really confusing because, UKVCAS also says that for eu settlement scheme u do not need to upload any documents....
What do I do, do you guys had to upload your docs both on UKVI and UKVCAS or only UKVI when u submit your application.
I dont know if you got what I want to say, but I am dealing with this since 8.00 am and I am really confused and frustrated.

You need to do it again. They are independent agency.

Hi,
I just wonder if you got around it? I know your post dated back in January and I was wondering the same thing when I uploaded my mum’s documents on the UKVI only. It says however that “you don’t need to upload” on the UKVCAS.
But now after coming across your question and a response for it I’m now confused too.

As I understand it, if you need to do biometrics for Settled Status, you make an appointment with UKVCAS (Home Office contractor) - your supporting documents are uploaded only on the Home Office UKVI website. UKVCAS have no other involvement in the application process, they just collect the biometrics.
