Plan B if your appeals fail If you lose your EUSS appeals.... A.) You might want to apply to Appendix FM on the 5 or 10 year route. It costs thousands. In theory, you could apply for a fee waiver. B.) You may also want to look into the settlement based on 10 years residence. C.) You may also want t...

Citizens’ Rights Inquiry (2021) Are Zambrano carers not a vulnerable group? https://committees.parliament.uk/work/1246/citizens-rights/ The European Affairs Committee is holding a short inquiry into Citizens’ Rights issues, covering both UK nationals living in the EU and EU citizens living in the U...
Lord Wood of Anfield, Acting Chair of the European Affairs Committee Can someone explain why Zambrano carers are left out of this letter and not mentioned once? 25 May 2023 Dear Home Secretary, Rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement ...................
Zambrano thread = non- EU parents of British children Hiya @silarev, Your question is really good! Are you and your husband Zambrano carers? I can understand why you would post it here since we talk about Celik and you are directly impacted by Celik. If you are not a Zambrano carer, your Celik expo...
Skeleton Argument - Questions to be considered & Submissions Let's say you are a Zambrano carer who did NOT apply for a derivative residence card before 31 December 2020. You did, however, apply under Appendix EU as a Zambrano carer before the 31st. In your skeleton argument under "Questio...
So one down, one to go? I really enjoyed reading your analysis. I have seen this dilemma, too. Here are my thoughts: The Home Office will argue that unless Zambrano carers applied for their derivative residence cards under the EEA Regulations before 31 December 2020, they can't now be recognised a ...
One possible approach to an appeal (For people NOT starting from scratch - You may want to email the judge to ask them to delay your hearing until Celik is decided or until both Celik and Akinsanya have been decided.) For people starting from the beginning: 1.) Using a generative artificial intelli...
You may also want to get in contact with people on this thread who were successful recently. - Ask to see a copy of their submissions / skeleton arguments. - Ask them what points their judges agreed with most strongly. - Rewrite and resubmit your skeleton argument to use those same points (if appli...
Halo again Tina, Regarding number 6, what is your current strategy? a.) Do you want to ask for permission to resubmit your skeleton argument? b.) Maybe you want to add more arguments or make it easier to read? c.) Maybe you want to ask the judge to order the hearing to take place after Celik and th...
Que tal, Tina? The Home Office is the Respondent. The Home Office is supposed to send a bundle to the Court. Their bundle includes all of the information your caseworker relied upon when they made their decision. If the Home Office does not upload the bundle to the Court's system, the judge will ma...
Bonjour Wishfulgirl, They said not enough time? LOL!! Haven't they had it since January? I wouldn't worry about it too much. If a judge has an easy reason to reject an application by a litigant in person, they don't hesitate. ;) If you raised or relied upon the Celik case in your submissions, then ...
Human Rights & Escalations Celik's human rights appeal is just a few weeks away! The importance of this appeal can't be overstated. Today, the House of Lords is considering secondary legislation (a statutory instrument) that restricts people's right to protest. The right to protest is proected ...
Artificial Intelligence for your submissions Are struggling with creating your submissions to the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal? Have you considered using (free) tools such as artificial intelligence for ideas? I asked an AI the following questions: -What is a Zambrano carer? -Can you summa...

VIENNA CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF TREATIES 1969 The UK has violated the Vienna Convention. Appendix EU violates the Vienna Convention. Appendix EU redefines the term 'Zambrano carer'. Appendix EU says a Zambrano carer is 'one who does not have leave under Appendix FM (or similar)'. The European Court...
Lawyers, Workloads & Fees Let's say you are a lawyer. You have a European or Singh, Chen or Teixiera derivative card holder as a client. They were refused under EUSS. You would review a whole bunch of statutory instruments, the Withdrawal Agreement, cases, etc. Now let's say you have a Zambrano...
How many statutory instruments does it take to change a lightbulb? Brexit happened in June 2016. Here we are, seven years later. There are easily six statutory instruments you should be knowledgeable of before going to Court. One statutory instrument contradicts another. A given statutory instrumen...
UT President Dove & a big assumption https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/ea-05622-2020 The Presidential Panel concludes 13. Regulations 16 and 20 are not listed in paragraph 6. It follows that they do not apply to the determination of an appeal after 31 December 2020. 1.) If the Gov...
When did we (as a society) become so cynical? https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/ea-05622-2020 13. Regulations 16 and 20 are not listed in paragraph 6. It follows that they do not apply to the determination of an appeal after 31 December 2020. That is the case even if, immediately befo...
WHY THE 410? At the end of the day, just 410 Zambrano families were given settlement out of over 14, 410 valid applications. The UK is supposed to be a free and fair democracy. It isn't supposed to cherry-pick people for settlement. The Home Office and Judiciary should be able to explain what those...
