Reasons why your application has been refused
We have considered whether you meet the requirements for settled status (also known as indefinite leave to enter or remain) or pre-settled status (also known as limited leave to enter or remain) under the EU Settlement Scheme. Unfortunately, based on the information and evidence provided or otherwise available, and for the reasons set out in this letter, you do not meet the requirements.
To qualify under the scheme you need to meet the requirements that are set out in Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules. You can find out more about the requirements here

ICD.5298 1 of 5
You have applied under the EU Settlement Scheme as a person with a Zambrano right to reside on the basis that you are the primary carer of a British citizen.
To qualify under the EU Settlement Scheme, you need to meet the requirements that are set out in Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules.
One of the requirements for qualifying for settled or pre-settled status as a person with a Zambrano right to reside is that you do not already hold leave to enter or remain in the UK, unless this was granted under the EU Settlement Scheme.
Our records show that you currently hold leave to remain in the UK valid until xxxxxx. This leave was granted under Family LTR, not under the EU Settlement Scheme. This means you cannot qualify as a person with a Zambrano right to reside.
As your existing leave to enter or remain means your application cannot succeed, we have not considered the rest of your application.
It is considered that the information available does not show that you meet the eligibility requirements for settled status set out in rule EU11 of Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules or those for pre-settled status which are set out in rule EU14 of that Appendix. Therefore, you have been refused settled status and pre-settled status under rule EU6.
We are currently working remotely due to COVID-19 and only have access to electronic copies of the documents you submitted in support of your application.

In the meantime, please ensure that you keep us up to date with any change of address to ensure that documents are returned to the correct location. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
