What the UK government says in press statement and to its media, is different from what the do in practice. I think Ukrainians are best advised to go to Ireland, where they will be better received. I have been trying to get through the UK embassy, to assist families in Ukraine. I have been on the p...

Any advice? We can't really tell you what to do, so please do not interpret this as immigration advice. From a purely personal perspective, what I would do, given that the EU appears to have adopted an open doors policy, while the UK is unsurprisingly lagging behind; it would not be a bad idea to t...

I was saying that I want to apply for them under EU sttlement scheme regulation DEPENDENT PARENT.(which even was before all this nightmare). Earlier before 31 June 2021 the presumption of dependency applied but now it does not apply. But surely, now when my relatives without roof and income in the ...

I do not agree with Kamoe reading of the regulations. I believe your mother and Grandmother will qualify as family members if you are supporting them. The support does not need to have originated from the EEA national. To be honest, I don't think The Home Office is aware of what they are writing. A...

Even without Borris Johnson meaningless proposal, you could bring in your parents, if they are dependent on you, that fact has really not changed. If there is a delay, the option may be available to fly them to Ireland and then apply for them to enter the UK. Thank you very much for all your input!...

Hi all, Please, I need your help very much. I am really grateful for all help i have received on this forum. I ask for help one more time. As you all aware, we have a disaster in my homeland, especially in my home-town Kharkiv. I am a Ukrainian citizen and I have a pre-settled status. I am married w...

I think in retain rights it’s written you should have been married to EU CITIZEN for 3 years. In annex 1 “definitions” eu citizen is the person from eu who have been qualified for 5 years and it is including naturalised British citizens. So, for ROR IT IS ok. Not sure, if divorce is not finalised at...

But I was not out of UK more than 12 months. "Up to 12 months" does not mean "more than 12 months". Absences of 1, 4, 10, or 12 months are all absences of "up to 12 months". I was out for 5 months and then came back, I did not expect/planned to be out of UK again withi...

Within consecutive year I was absent more than six months and how to construe the word SINGLE in that case? Since my absence was not SINGLE it means I am not eligible for allowance? Seems like you would be allowed. See section entitled " You have already been absent from the UK for up to 12 mo...

To be short For instance my situation was: I was out of Uk for 5.5 months because I had to support my family and I could work remotely I was out from 18 June 2020 to 1 December 2020, then I came back and was in UK until April 29 2021, then a young family member got ill and died and I was out of UK u...

Hi, Based on guidelines you will have to provide with 1. a proof of residence in UK which can be proved by Payslips, bank-statements, p60, self-assessment etc. 2. Proof of relationship(marriage lasted longer than 3 years) and 1 year of residency during those 3 years you were in UK. 3. Decree absolut...

It is allowed under COVID 19 EU SETTLEMENT SCHEME that you can be absent up to 12 months in any twelve month period during the pandemic. I don't think that's the case. As far as I can read, there is ONE allowance, NOT as many allowances as you want. See page 159 of the EU Settlement Scheme casework...

Since after the first July they changed the rules, they don’t presume evidence anymore. What evidence can be added?

Hi there, It is allowed under COVID 19 EU SETTLEMENT SCHEME that you can be absent up to 12 months in any twelve month period during the pandemic. Google it :) I think you will find it, I am not sure what happens when you claim those months (I mean the Home Office will just pretend that this absence...

any thoughts? Not really providing an answer to the original question, and I'm not saying anyone here is necessarily doing this on purpose, but since you have repeatedly so keenly asked for thoughts, I would say: It is a really bad idea to be "planning an important absence". These provisi...

any thoughts?

How usually they pardon the absence for important reasons of 12 months?? Such as pregnancy or military service?

any thoughts?

Or you are right, it makes sense if this 12 months does not count. Have the same situation

I think if they pardon 4 months which you were absent due to COVID 19, then you are all right. There should be a mechanism as they really put it as an excuse for people to be absent. But will listen to other experienced people!

[/quote] I never said you should reapply. I said it won't make any difference. You seem to think you need to do something by June 30th. Why? I understand you already applied for the Settlement Scheme, and already got Pre-Settled status, is that right? If so, there is nothing else for you to do by J...

I have a choice to 1. re-apply for pre-settled status again. If you re-apply for Pre-Settled Status now... you'll get Pre-Settled Status again. That is not going to change anything for you. A new Pre-Settled status is not going to "erase" your absence history, it's only going to extend / ...

Assuming you weren't absent at all, when would you complete the 5 years? Hi kamoe , Thanks for a response as I feel paranoid regarding the issue, my 5 years for settled status is on 23rd February 2023. My single absence was less then 180(160) l days though when I got out of the country second time ...

sorry for repeating, but I meant that one "Absence not intended to exceed 6 months and did not exceed 12 months" Thanks! very helpful! Well, My situation is I work from home, I am a family member of EU citizen. I pay NI and Taxes and that is in the system. I went abroad 18 June 2020 and ca...

Hi again everybody, I think this question is relevant as to what to do in such situation, as it seems I have a choice to 1. re-apply for pre-settled status again. 2. Provide evidence of my absence though, I don't understand how it goes as I was absent for 165 days and now for 55 what it means, my 16...

Thanks! very helpful! Well, My situation is I work from home, I am a family member of EU citizen. I pay NI and Taxes and that is in the system. I went abroad 18 June 2020 and came back to UK 1st December 2020 - and it was ok, 165 days, then due to personal reasons of family members I had to come to ...
