HI
I hope someone can give us advise as my niece (German National) travelled together with Non EU husband in November. She has applied for Settlement Scheme (no problem) but when applying for her husband it says need proof to be here in UK for 6 months. Now in 6 months his FP expires. Should he apply for the Residence card FORM EEA (FM) or wait for his visa to expire? I guess my nice went OK without asking 6 months probably as she used her NINO a couple of years ago in UK while she was living here temporarily. !?!
Just not sure if it is worth applying for Residence card and how long it will take, probably he'll have 6 months residency by the time he gets it...
If applying for RC, Would both need to apply??
Thanks

He surely has a National Insurance number with history, then? That's proof of his UK residency.

I'm puzzled by this. As far as I understood, there is no required residence to apply for the Settlement Scheme (since starting from 1 day of residence you can get pre-Setlted status)? Where exactly is this showing up? Can you quote the text?

I know...He can prove living in UK but not for 6 months as per requested on the settlement scheme application. It says at the end before submitting:
We need evidence of your residence in the last 6 months
We have found tax or benefits history that shows you have been resident in the UK. But we have not been able to confirm that you have been resident in the UK in the last 6 months.
This may be because there are gaps in our records or we may not be able to match our records to the information you have given.
What you need to do
To apply for pre-settled status you will need to upload some evidence that you have been resident in the UK for at least one day in the last 6 months.

1 day in the last 6 months means 6 months ago or just 1 day anytime in the previous 6 months??
Anyway although he has NINO, it's recent and not payed through PAYE yet using this code.

I’m afraid you need to do it again. General rule: one application - one biometrics
