Pre-settlement to settlement questions
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2022 11:16 pm
Hello,
I need some guidance of when I can apply for settlement. I know it is still long but it is something that bugged me.
I am from non EEA country, I arrived in the UK in 2016-2020 under tier 4 and tier 5.
On 27 November 2020, i was granted EEA family visa as I am a durable partner of Polish national. Then i was granted pre settle status on 14th May 2021.
The questions that I have:
1. I know that pre settlement is usually 5 years, but my pre-settlement only valid until 16th December 2025 which is around 4 years and 7 months instead of 5 years. Shouldnt it be 14th May 2026?
2. When will I able to apply for settle starus? If the answer is 27 November 2025, doesnt it way too close with my pre settlement status will be expired 19-20 days after that?
3. I am currently employed, and i am meant to show proof of my valid work permit, if I apply my settlement on the 27th November 2025, then i dont get decision in 20 days, it means that i will lose my job. So the fact that its way too close really made me uncomfortable and scared.
Can anyone advice?
Thanks
