I’m in the process of applying for DRF, based on my British child( citizenship granted last July). I have a few questions, if you can kindly reply.
1. I’ve been advised by one of the members above that I could apply for both drf and eu settlement Zambrano at the same time. I have both forms which I’m filling now. In terms of the IDs, where should I send them since I intend to post both forms at the same time.
Ans: Good
2. I have a very important trip in April next year. With the current Covid situation and their usual tricks to delay applicants, I don’t expect them to give a decision so soon. I wanted to know if at what point do they send back the documents after scanning and if they send them back before my trip, can I travel while the applications are pending?
Ans: EUSS department doesn't hold on to your passport. The only enemy is EEA Zambrano Drf1 Department. They will only get you your passport only if your case is done.
3. I’m stuck on the section where they ask the reasons why the British person has to leave the UK if I were to leave. I have a valid LTR until 10th of June. I was previously granted under fm 10 year route. My circumstances haven’t changed since and a renewal should be granted without any issue. Any idea what I should write in that section?
Ans: I have written a lot of legal stuff about the right you have under regulation 16. You can argue against HO inserted Regulation 16(7A) which is not an EEA regulation and because your are a person subject to immigration rules under section 13(2) of the 1971 immigration act. Under EU you dont need to be an unstable leave holder.
4. My daughter has been granted British citizenship last July, so I am a Zambrano carer at that point, right? I have lived in the UK since 2008, partly on a student visa, and then I was refused extension in 2011. I overstayer until 2018 when I was granted ltr . Never been in relationship with British / EEA person. Should my EU settlement application eventually succeed, I will only be qualified for a
pre settlement right? I do not otherwise seem to qualify for settlement under any other category for Zambrano carers. Kindly share your opinions on this.
Ans: Your right start from when your child became British.
Lastly, you advised me last year when I posted here. I was preparing my daughter’s British citizenship application at that time and I was very depressed about it all. I’m still finding it very hard to navigate through the whole thing. I would really appreciate your help as this is all very difficult to me and I cannot afford to pay a solicitor at the moment
Ans. Cant get your last question
