FINALLY!

Got a phone call just now from the Home Office (which I requested) and the caseworker was actually quite kind and apologetic that it has taken so long. She confirmed she'd reviewed all my documents and I've been granted settled status!

Really happy to have that all done.

So it took around 6 months with some back and forth, but it seems they will move if you push them enough and your case is valid.

Hello ,

I applied in early november for an EEA family permit for my spouse , i was not contacted by email or phone or anything for 5 months, after many phone calls and emails sent i was finally told that a decision had been made in november 2 weeks after we applied. My spouse went to the application centre which said they had to request everything from the british embassy in the area, after a week of waiting the embassy and visa centre shut down because or Covid-19,

We are really distressed with the whole experience

My question is

6 months has now passed since the decision was made so does this mean the visa is expired ? Or will it be valid from the day we collect it ? The visa centre does not have our passport so does this mean they will put a visa on the passport when we go there which is valid from thay day , or will it be an expired visa from november ?


Thank you for any answers i look forward to hearing from somebody

Anyone had their biometrics this week? It's mostly those who had their appointments from March/April postponed.

Hello members,
In my last post I requested If anyone have idea of timeline for applying together. My sponsor got his settled status on 22 May. We applied together on 11 March. I am non eu extended family member. Don’t have BRC previously. Should I expect my decision to be quicker as they consider applications together. Thanks

What is your relationship to the EU sponsor??

You don't appear to have any legal status in the UK, is this correct?

Hi everyone,

I applied as an extended family member of EEA national in 2016. I got refused and couldn't get appeal right due to Sala. My second application got refusal in 2017.My 3rd application lost by home office as they sent it on wrong address refused due to payment which we come to know after several inquires to home office that it has been sent and we were unaware about this fact for months. Now home office just apologized and sent a letter that you can make a new passport. My solicitor told me that we can appeal about our first refusal because of new development. We appealed in first tier tribunal on Jan 2019 and court send us payment letter on end of feb. My question is that If court has asked about fee does it mean my appeal is accepted? If they have accepted how long will it take to get hearing date? Thanks

He is my bro in law. My appeal was processed and on hearing day there was no translater even though they had in their system that we need it. Judge apologised for their mistake and issued a new hearing date. That was a bad experience. To cut the long story short on next hearing my brother in law was unavailable. I convert it on papers but hearing went through without our presence . Judge dismissed the appeal without taking our arguments and in our absence . Their were many errors in decision. I requested for permission to appeal to UTT for which their is no answer yet.

So you don't have any legal status in the UK.

Why do you believe you qualify for Settled Status when you have not held a RC as an EFM for 5 years?

As I have explained I am still in process of paper application. Due to pandemic I might not get court response soon. I applied for pre settled status.

Having a pending appeal as an EFM under the EU regulations does not make your stay legal. If you have had a UK visa before and it expired, you are an overstayer since the date after it expired.
