Zambrano Settled Status EU settlement scheme Paper Application Form - NEW

[Eburnie27]

Greetings to everyone

I have come across this platform while looking for answers on EUSS ZAMBRANO
I first made an application online in July 2021 which I got my fingerprints taken in August 21, just for me to be told that I needed to send a paper application as I was applying under Zambrano in November
I sent the latter in January 22 and I received my COA both post and digital in March.
My FLR under 10 year route (I am on my first set) ends soon on 04/06/22. My question is: while the EUSS application is being considered, can I renew my FLR residence or shall just wait for SSHD take a decision?
I don't want to stay in limbo again as I have previously waited 6 years for HO to decide on ILR (back in 2008, which they refused on numerous occasions and just converted that on derivative right to reside) and rather have a leg to stand on well in advance


Thanks so much for your help

Remember all that since the consent order was issued by judge Mostyn and the akinsanya Court of appeal ruling, these two application don't vary each other.

So holding Zambrano under defunct reg 16 or new Zambrano EUSS and Leave under Appendix FM 2.5 because of your child as British is taken as the same leave.

What I want to say is that please go and reapply for your leave under Appendix FM.

I would strongly advise you to renew your 2.5yeard leave to remain. What of you need to travel abroad for anything or need to apply for new job as we don’t know when all this drama or champions league from UKVi is going to end it might leads to penalty as they get on using VAR check .

My little understanding is that most applicants that could have qualified for this scheme ( National cake) would have extended there leave before they eventually do the needful.

UKVi ( Ref to James Bond movies) doesn’t grant leave easily particularly when you defeated them in the Court they would makes you hyper before they concur as I am talking from my previous experience with them 2015.

Hope this helps

You must apply your flrp extension.

Thanks for your reply

Down below is what I have received from the EUSS resolution centre

"Regarding applying under another route at the same time.  We can advise that in most cases, any outstanding immigration application will not be considered if you apply for the EU Settlement Scheme."

Really... when? This one has now become a game

[KRES]

That was the response i received following my email to their Director. For the highlighted reason no one understands what angle they will be taking in the forthcoming changes in Appendix EU. They are also refusing few people where the other parent (carer) has a settled status in light of the Velaj case which is due to be heard at the appeal court sometime in June, but that is arguable in court as its not in accordance with Paragraph 16 (8&9) of the EEA reg nor appendix EU. We are waiting to see what happens on the 25th April.

For those who might have been refused based on the afore mentioned reason you need include the following in your argument. The words “both primary carers” have been added to reg 16 (5) to reflect the effect of reg 16 (9) and the words in italics in (8) (b)(ii) were deleted by operation of the Immigration (EEA) (amendment) Regulations 2018 SI2018/801. Prior to that amendment, the appellant would not have been entitled to a derivative right of residence as his wife is an exempt person.
13. The explanatory memorandum to SI 2018/801 provides:
Paragraph 10 of the Schedule to these Regulations amends the 2016 Regulations so as to give effect to the judgment of the CJEU in the case of C—133/15 Chavez-Vilchez and others. It does so by amending regulation 16(8)(b) of the 2016 Regulations to allow a person to be recognised as a "primary carer" if they are the sole carer or if they share equally the care with another person, regardless of whether that person is an "exempt person" within the meaning of regulation 16(7)(c).

Hello Lagosbos,

Hope you are well. I am in the process of applying for Zambrano EU Settlement Scheme. I had FLR fp but has expired in 2020. I've submitted PSS application but was denied. I am married to British guy and we have a British child. He works full time and I am a full time mom.

I have done some research about the potential issue of my application as a Zambrano carer as I am sharing responsibility with my husband.

Do you think Regulations 16(5) would help strengthen my application? Can you help me understand this regulation? My apology but my comprehension on laws and regulations is really limited.

Thank you in advance.

I just want to thank God because it has been a long journey.
To those still waiting for a decision, you shall hear good news very soon. Amen

Congratulations...finally!

Please on what basis did you get your settlement?
Are you non EU

Primary carer of British child?
2.5 based on parent? Or spouse

Thanks
I got it with Zambrano, primary carer of British child.
Non EU
But I also had 2.5 on parent route.

Hello Abuken,

First of all congratulations! Can I ask you some questions? I was refused RC, applied for FLR-fp and was granted but expired few years ago, applied for EU PSS but denied so I am going to apply for Zambrano. I am a primary carer of a British child, full time mom.

What documents did you use to prove you are the primary carer? Photos?

Thanks!

Hello @KRES,
In terms of documents required for your Zambrano application as the primary carer of your BC child - Feel free to refer to page 137 on here. @Snooky listed some examples which may be useful i.e: GP letter, school letters, letter from religious bodies etc. You can also refer to the application guidance document. Hope it helps. Best wishes

Thank you!

After you finger prints were taken how long after were you passports requested by home office?

How long did they then keep them for, before returning them back to you (after fingers)?

While a decision is being made on your case, as you have the passports can you fly aboard?

Can you please advise

[timinis2]

I was requested by Ho for passports after 3 weeks after submitting fingerprints and after sending passports was returned with in 10 days. Also on letter says I can travel and I can work. I got already valid FLR fp leave to remain and when I put the Brp number online status is changed .
I am hoping they will issue ILR soon.

Just use application reference number or passport number or brp card number . My solicitor said highly likely they will issue me ILR soon.

Hi everyone

Good afternoon.
Please kindly advice.
I renewed my 10 year parent route last year July 2021. I then made an application for EUSS in March and I have been sent COA which says entitled to benefit. Now this morning I get an email that I have been granted 5 year leave which I never applied for 5 years and no recourse to public funds. My child is British and eventhough I never claimed benefit I just got the child benefit( just did not need ). Is this not an error. Cause I don't understand.

Thank you

After the 5 years, will you qualify to apply for indefinate? If so wait and see what happens with Zambarano. Pray for good health and peace of mind and forget about homeoffice... meanwhile, workout how much indefinate will cost and start saving.

The 5years will give you peace of mind from the drama

Just asking, are you a single parent? If so then you might be luck to apply for early indefinite after 1 year
It could be a blessing...

[Kmt2014]

Eheheh. You made me laugh with this reply. Thank you. Yes I am a single parent. Please how do I apply for 10 year route after 1 year . Thank you

[Kmt2014]

Sorry yes it states that after 5 years I get indefinite. Thank you.

[Fustrated2019]

Eheheh. You made me laugh with this reply. Thank you. Yes I am a single parent. Please how do I apply for 10 year route after 1 year . Thank you

Have a look at your online EUSS profile. See what it says. The HO will never cease to amaze me . Roll on Monday 13th

[Kmt2014]

Sorry i meant after 4 years. I submitted a paper application. Can't see anything online relating to this. Thank you

Thank you

From the analysis you have given. It appears you have been granted pre-settled status as a result of the application you made back in March. If so, you should be able to apply for settled status when your British child turns 5! Ordinarily, pre-settled status wouldn't give you access to mainstream benefits unlike settled status. You can also post a copy of the email redacting all personal information if you are still not clear about it.
