As long as you have something at the ready that has a date that suggest you will come back by Dec 31st. Of course this is just symbolic, anyone can change a booking.Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:35 pmI can have a flexible ticket that allows me to come back when I want.
I'm sorry, can you rephrase the above? You might have missed a word and I cannot make sense of what you want to say...Also, what if not even showing the EEA card issues but the UK.
Who's they? UK border control or French border control?No EEA card. Just my passport, hers and our certificate or marriage. They can't anything against that.
Thin line there.Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:57 pmI meant, when entering France, she won't show the EEA card issued by the UK (EEA PR). But only our passports and the marriage certificate. This should be enough to let her in. I believe with that, even if we stay beyond Dec 31, she won't be an overstayer.
They might still allow entry with old EEA RC cards. But, it has been communicated for over a year and a half now that these cards expire on Dec 31st. Even though we have been able to gather information on their extended validity if used to apply for the Settlement Scheme, this information is not vox populi, is not published and not easily available on any website, but here. The border officer might disagree. I'd personally prefer to sort my EUSS card before I do any travel abroad after December 31st.The EEA PR, she will show to British immigration when back in Feb or March. She is "Settled" but they don't issue a new card if you hold already the valid EEA one.
OK, someone might want to verify this, but at least for EEA FP, I have the understanding it is not necessary to be a national of the country you are applying in. I am pretty sure it not necessary be a resident. I am assuming the same applies for EUSS FP.White_Pearl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 6:08 pmIs she allowed to apply for EUSS Family Permit from France as she is not a resident in France?
She might need to apply for a EUSS Family Permit in France to facilitate her entry into the UK. Or, plan and convert her current EEA RC into a EUSS RC before the trip.
Sorry, you asked for opinions.

Sorry, you asked for opinions.
So it lookslike it’s not mandatory to apply from the country where you are a resident.
Is she allowed to apply for EUSS Family Permit from France as she is not a resident in France?
I am in the same situation. Have valid EEA RC card, and status under the Settlement Scheme, which means I did not get a new card. This arrangement has worked for me until now, and obviously, I also ponder what the next step is come December 31st 2020.Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:47 pmI contacted the EU Settlement Scheme resolution centre about BRC card. I am reading the letter confirming the Settled status and it says this:
As she already holds a EEA PR card valid until 2028, they didn't send her a EUSS BRC. We believed she can travel back to the UK with that because her EUSS right it tied to that card. But I am not sure now.
Have you applied to convert the card?Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:47 pmWe contacted the Home Office about the EUSS card. We have a case logged with them. I will let you know if they come back with anything sensible.
In my understanding everything regarding the EUSS cards is clear and spelled out. Why would further details of the negotiations be of any difference?I believe it may depends on the deal or no deal with the EU. That will be decided next week I believe.
The solution might be right in front of you. Is your travel actually essential?Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:51 pmI am just sick of it. I just want 1 year in my life without immigration paperwork. I don't think it will happen one day...

When I searched, I found only how to apply for the EUSS itself. She already applied last year and has Settled status. I would like to find out how to apply for the card now.
Anytime. It's at the beginning of this thread, where you will also find general timeline info and q&as from others applying.
But of course. You have mentioned this difficulty in other posts. I see why you are hesitant and why this might not be straightforward. Best luck for you, and keep us posted, whatever happens.She already applied for BC a couple of months ago but I am not great believer in the outcome of that application. We just chanced it. She was an overstayer when we met and that was during the last 10 years
I can demonstrate she didn't work. Because I was working, she was living with me and we got married at one point. But she was illegal in the UK. I hope they won't refuse her outright but they give a chance to explain. Sometimes they do it sometimes not.
