Surinder Singh Settled Status Paper Application:

[NatCam]

Hi everyone

I finally sent my application on Monday as I am now finished with all my traveling for now. They received my application yesterday (saw it through royal mail track and trace), will I get an email, text or post that my application has been received by them or if they are starting the process? If yes, how long did it take to get a confirmation?

Can you guys tell me how long did the process takes for everyone who got their PSS or Surinder Singh route?

Thanks a lot xx

Hi,
It was 3 weeks for me, I didn't get any emails.

Hello.
Thank you for replying to me.
Did you just get the status after 3 weeks without getting any confirmation?

Yes, I did. I got a letter saying that I was granted pre-settled status. I never got any e-mail from them. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Those who are genuine do not get problems.

he never resided in UK before.
we lived here for 5 years together married for three.

is that enough to be successful? and how long is it taking for people outside uk to have a finished application.

No one can guarantee if an application will be successful or not but I guess 5 years is enough as long as you have all the papers they require such as evidence of BC exercising treaty rights (working, self employed, studying etc), proof of residence (utility bills, mortgage, rent, bank statements etc). They want to see that the BC and spouse moved his/her “centre of life” in the chosen EU country.

I dont know how long the process is though. When I moved here using family permit through Surinder Singh, it only took 3-4 weeks, I was talking 5 years ago though.

If you have any more questions, I can try my best to help and answer. Xx

[jacko90]

update.

I could not do anything.
we have to be located in the UK before the send us the form

Any further update on this thread or timeline.

It will seem like Home Office Surinder Singh Settlement Scheme section is working like a fine tuned machine, or maybe not.

More timeline will give an indication on performance in this area.

Hi all,

So I'm a non-EU family member (spouse) of a British citizen, we have lived together in Ireland from 2015 to 2017. I do not previously have an EEA Family permit, just the Article 10 Residence Card issued by Republic of Ireland. and I have now applied for Pre-Settled under the EU Surinder Singh route. My timeline is as follows:

Application form completed and returned: 19th August (Special Delivery)
Application form received by Home Office: 20th August
Biometrics letter received: 29th (Letter dated 27th August) including return of passports - other documents not yet returned.
Biometrics given: 29th August
Certificate of Application: 2nd September (Letter dated 31st August)
Pre-Settled Status: (Pending)

Have called every week for an update, but the call centre seem to have standard answers, with no real timeframe for a decision. Looks like they are being quite slow. How are everybody's applications' going ?

Hi, no updates yet. I have called them and they are saying they are experiencing delays. How long ago did you apply?

[ruthie]

Application for my parents posted and received by HO last Monday (Sep 30th). They are holding 5 years residence card and arrived in the UK on Sep 2014.

No updates so far.

Jeez... I have a feeling the 5 day service standard doesn't apply to SS applications

The HO received our SS application on the 7th and nothing yet, although I don't expect anything for at least a week. From what I've heard though, the application is only really looked at and assessed AFTER the HO receive biometrics, so you'd think they'd receive the application form and immediately send a biometric request letter.

Good luck!

[ljdebenedictis]

Hello everyone. This is my update.

Application sent - September 2, 2019
Received by HO - September 3, 2019
Biometric letter received- September 13 (letter dated September 11, 2019)
Biometrics given - September 21, 2019

Haven’t heard anything since

[Surinder]

A question guys, I applied last week and got my ID yesterday with certificate of application, but no biometric letter,
My question is do I need to do biometric as I have BRC which is valid till 2021 or because I have done my biometric 2 years ago so I don’t need to do it again

[Nazar Mehmood]

Hi A irfan

Thanks for posting your inquiry. I planning to apply for my family through Surinder singh route as well from here in Ireland. I have been looking at these posts on Immigrationboard and what I have got is that:
There is no online application and I have to call UKHO and ask for an application which they would post it to the home address after checking the eligibility of the applicant.
I shall be grateful if you could share process please. And also whether these applications are for 6 monthe or for 5 years RC once approved?

Regards

Is there a phone number you can call for updates on your application? When you call the number on the HO website none of the options are right and it just says "wait at least a month". Well since they have all our ID cards and passports that's making life pretty difficult and we need them back ASAP...

[Obie]

Any update or timeline for surinder singh settled status.

Have they ceased issuing or what.

The government appears to be applying discriminatory practices to EU law which I believe to be unlawful.

Any recent grant and timeline will be helpful.
