eu settlement scheme

[rahmsye]

HI my wife non eea applied for flr fp. We have been on it for over two years.

However when we first arrived we applied under the surinder singh route which was then rejected.

However, I have been reading that they are now accepting anyone on ss route can we now apply for the eu settlement scheme using that route after the fact?


Many Thanks in advance

Why did they reject your earlier Surinder Singh application?

Why did they reject your earlier Surinder Singh application?

Failing Centre of life requirement.

The definition of "family member of a qualifying British citizen" still includes a reference to the EEA Regulations on the Centre of Life requirements.

(b) they satisfied the conditions in regulation 9(2), (3) and (4)(a) of the EEA Regulations (as the family member (“F”) to whom those provisions refer)...

So, if you have been refused on those specific grounds, it is possible that you will be refused on them again.

Then again, it is free to apply to the EUSS. So you lose nothing by applying.

If my memory serves me right, i believe there has been rulings that both the centre of life test and the requirement that Surinder Singh sponsor exercise treaty rights upon returning home are unlawful.
