If it is expired or expires soon - just renew it and that's it. It has no relation to your recent application for settled status (and you should ask them why it takes so long to give you the decision)
Ther is no need for paper form because Lounes or not Lounes is not relevant as long as she has pre-Settled status. You can apply online. You do not need to send any document by post either. All the paperwork (bank statements, council tax bills etc) you can scan or take pictures of and upload online...
I am a dual UK/EU citizen, my wife is a non-EU and she has pre-settled status just now. She is eligible to upgrade to settled status in the end of this year (she will have 5 years from her first entry in the UK at this time). As I understand she will need to apply for status using paper form or she ...
If I was you, I would just wait a few years and then would apply. You already have Settled status and you hold EU citizenship, so I am not sure why you want to get British citizenship as soon as possible when you have too many absences just now.
Hi, Can an EU 8-month child travel in and out of the UK with a COA + EU Passport? The child applied to the EUSS using an EU National Identity card. Cheers In the end of 2021 I made an application for my newborn child (who was born abroad), we entered the UK by car from France and the officer asked ...
you can apply for a regular British passport in India Extremely not advised. It will a) take way longer than in the UK (people say 6 months - a year) and b) will cast doubts on applicant's true intentions to live in the UK (see https://www.immigrationboards.com/post1841460.html#p1841460 ). what are...
mid of june i received naturalisation…where i mis conceived the information is that i can go to india with indian passport and naturalisation certificate ( three months grace period ) and use the same document to return to uk with in three weeks.. now left with no option as brp card also returned a...
That's an issue. You can travel after the ceremony (unless your old nationality requires a visa to the UK) but after applying for a new passport your passport/s and certificate must be sent to HMPO, so it is physically not possible to travel without documents. Waiting times for me last month was aro...
EU passports are not stamped but that's not a problem for naturalisation, usually applicants declare all absences in their application and HO will check their databases as well, they might not match because some entries/exits might be incomplete if a person travelled to/from the UK via Ireland or an...
Wait a second, so you were waiting for decision for so long but you actually got approved quickly and you simply missed that email from HO with approval 6 months ago? They didn't try to contact you again?
That is what I said, yes. She calls and asks for a Lounes application; they'll ask her name as they have to pre-fill the name in the form for her. If it is a post form, how can we send some kind of evidences they might need? I.e. proofs of residence etc? We just need to send them copies along with ...
Hi there, if I am a dual citizen and my wife in a non-EU with pre-settled status, does it mean she will have to apply for settled status by post? What if she tries to do it via app - will they refuse her in this case? We also have a child, who is an EU citizen and holds settled status - can this hel...

It doesn't matter what your BRC shows (pre-settlement or settlement) because UK immigration officers will see your proper digital status online. If you need to travel, you will need this card (unless you are visa-free national). Also BRC/BRP cards will cease to exist in the end of next year
My wife (she is non-EU) got pre-settled status and BRC in 2019 based on marriage with me (EU citizen). She had one big absence in 2021 (a little bit less than 1 year, because of important reason - childbirth), but also she was outside the UK for around 185 days in 12 month period in 2022-23. I could...
Some countries dont allow dual passports- the right of abode practically gives you a UK passport? Some countries, like India, allow dual citizenship if acquired at birth, but not dual passports. And an Indian passport with a CoE-RoA is acceptable by Indian authorities. That is at least one reason w...
I have just returned from Iceland this morning, I have an EU passport, had a ceremony in the end of last month and deliberately didn't apply for a British passport, because I would have to send my current one so I would not be able to go abroad. No questions at Glasgow airport, just went through e-g...
if your original passport is initially visa-free for the UK then no problems at all. There are problems for those who normally need a visa to enter the UK and because they don't hold any BRP's anymore it might be a problem (unless they get somehow to the UK immigration officer, it is possible i.e in...
