Settled status processing times

[Amirkhan042]

I have the feeling the HO don't know what to do with me.

My EU partner and I applied through the app on Jan 21st, first him, then me, I included his application number in mine (linked them), and we both got informed our application would be considered for Settled Status. We both got CoA immediately, on the same day.

Within 48 hours, he got his confirmation of Settled status. I'm still waiting. I have a biometric RC as his extended family member, and I've got more than 7 years of NI records in the UK.

Here's my timeline:

2009-2011: Tier 4 Student visa (1.5 years)
2011-2013: Tier 1 Post Study Visa (2 years)
2013-2016: Tier 2 Employer-sponsored Work Visa (3 years)
2016-2021: EEA RC (valid for 5 years, but lost in 2018)
2018-2023: EEA RC (valid for 5 years, replacing lost card above) - (effective 3 years 2016 - 2019)

In theory I should have been given Pre-settled status immediately, as I have had a RC card for 3 years and we attached my application to my partner, but this hasn't happened. Wonder why. I thought the HO would have all info they need?

Or... I'm thinking they don't know what to do with me, because the app decided to submit me as Settled status (I have NI records since I started working, so, since 2013, circa 7 years), yet I only have 3 years on the EEA RC (in theory qualifying me only for pre-Settled status).

Anyone in a similar position (non-EU family member, holder of biometric RC) has had any confirmation of status, or know how long this takes after their EU family member has had theirs?

i was in the same situation but they call me that i am only eligible for pre settle and we have to offer you pre settle now once you complete 5 years you be able to change it to settled status.. so dont worry they know now what to do with such cases. it takes long so be patient. my one took almost two months..
hope that helps.

My wife is a non EEA citizen, had a 5 year brp, 1 year old and i applied for her last week Monday, got pre-settled status today.. so it seems it takes about 2 weeks, and You should qualify for Settled Status by now.

Updated my case.


Applied on the 30th of March

Biometrics done the the 30th of March

Biometrics received on the 2nd of April

COA confirmed on the 8th of April

Settlement statue confirmed by email on the 5th of May

ILR card just arrived today: 10 years ILR.

My non biometric card expired on the 30 of April 2019, so i called them and complained that more than a month and have not yet heard any update. I also said I do travel lots due to my work environment, which is very true, and it will affect my career and income situation. I also said my case is very straight forward, more than 5 years living in the UK together with my EU wife in the same address and we both have been fully active, both came to the UK and myself got previous EU family permit visa and residence card. Therefore I demanded the lady over the phone to escalate my case and she agreed to escalate it and transfer it over to a senior caseworker, that was last Friday, 3rd of May and on the 5th I got the confirmation statue outcome.

good luck to all of you

I know someone who made his settled status application on 10/04/2019, got his biometrics done on 20/04/2019 using the premium service, received his COA on 28/04/2019 or 29/04/2019 and he's yet to hear anything else from them.

if your BRP card is still valid then you won't receive any new document except email with pdf confirming ILR and link to gov website in case you need to prove your rights. But if you card is expired then you will receive a new one with ILR.

Indefinite leave to remain ? No more Permanent Residence wording ?

Thanks

[Rumplestiltskin]

My PR Biometric card was issued in March 2019. So I guess , I wont get ILR Biometric card then.

I will apply tomorrow....

Thanks

[hardeepsingh09]

I don't know about that mate but in your pdf it definitely comes as "you have been granted indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom". I haven't seen anyone with new BRP card yet.
Please refrain from asking alot of questions here as this is for timelines only and m sure admins ahve put alot of effort in putting this together.
Thank you

Hi all - My partner is italian (EEA) and we have been in a relationship for 7 years, while I am Argentine (basically non EEA). At the end of December 2018, I got a Family Permit as her Unmarried Partner which is due to expire in June 20th. So, the thing is that I moved to the UK in early May to join her (she has been living here since last year) and have applied online for the pre-settled status almost at the same time of her. Neither of both have resident card or biometric, so she was asked to send her passport and I was asked to present biometric info.

So the timeline:
1. She applied on May 23th and sent her passport on May 25th; I applied on May 27th, referred to her application number and provided biometric info at the center in May 28th.
2. Both received the CoA immediately after our applications but no further response after providing passport / biometric data

I understand her application should be quite about to be validated while mine might take some more time, but still should be validated as for the fact I had a Family Permit and demonstrated we are still in a relationship with a tenancy agreement uploaded with my application.

My situation is tricky because I am actually looking for a job and my right to work is valid as per the family permit but it is about to expire, and the pre-settled status has not been confirmed yet, so I am a bit in the middle of two visas and not sure if once my Family Permit expires, I will actually have the right to work in the UK if the pre-settled status has not been yet granted.

Any ideas on 1) how much time I should expect until HO gives an answer and 2) How I can demonstrate to an employeer I have the right to work in the UK?

Thanks!
