Dear all,
Quick request for advice on a complicated timing issue on Brexit.
I am a UK citizen living and working in Berlin (for almost 2 years) with a non EU wife and daughter who is a British citizen. Due to very urgent health issues with own British family we are unexpectedly moving back to the UK and getting my wife an EEA permit under the Surinder Singh route (we are expecting this to come through within the next month / 3 weeks). It however would be almost impossible for us to to arrive and get registered in the UK and apply for settlement by October 31st as I need to give minimum of 3 months notice to work and on our flat.
As a result, in the event of a Boris-powered no deal Brexit on October 31st would that leave us in limbo and having the EEA permit for my wife but being unable to apply for settlement if we are not living in the UK before Brexit on October 31st? Or would having the EEA 6 month Family Permit and then moving and registering in November or December after Brexit mean we can still apply as long as it is before the deadline of 31st December 2020?
Thanks a million to anyone who can provide a bit of clarity on this
