It's really not clear what you are trying to ask. One gets Pre-Settled status by applying for it. What exactly in this process is not clear to you?
Pre-Settled status is given for 5 years from the moment of application.
Are you saying you want to get your in-laws a status that gives them the right to stay for more than 5 years straight away? That's not possible.If my in-laws come to the UK after 31st December, how do I go about extending their visa to live here for longer?
Are you reading my answers at all?
Is there any documentation around re-applying pre-settled status and extending the expiry date? I am not sure if you could extend the expiry date of your pre-settled status. If you re-apply before your 5 year residency is reached, you will probably receive pre-settled status but with the same deadline as your previous onekamoe wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:31 amPre-Settled status is given for 5 years from the moment of application.Are you saying you want to get your in-laws a status that gives them the right to stay for more than 5 years straight away?

The process for everyone coming to the UK under the Settlement Scheme is the following:
1. Apply for EUSS Family Permit abroad
2. Arrive in the UK on EUSS Family Permit
3. Apply for Pre-Settled Status inside the UK
4. After completing 5 years of continuous residence in the UK under Pre-Settled Status, apply for Settled Status.
5. From the moment Settled Status is acquired one has permanent right to stay in the UK.
There is no way to have Pre-Settled status granted for longer than 5 years straight away. It is possible, however, to hold Pre-Settled Status for more than 5 years, if one re-applies for status some time after the first status and before the 5 years have been completed. One will be re-issued another Pre-Settled Status for another 5 years.
For example, if your in-laws apply for Pre-Settled Status in 2021, then again in 2023. In this case they will first be issued Pre-Settled Status until 2026 the first time; then until 2028 the second time. But not sure why anyone would want to do this instead of waiting until 2026 (when 5 years complete) to apply and get Settled Status. Note that in any case, their relevant EEA sponsor still needs to reside in the UK throughout their residency period for them to qualify for status the next time they apply.
This is perfectly clear. All of my answers above assume your family members arrive in the UK after December 31st.
For the third time: yes, since they are not missing any deadline.Can they still apply for the EU settlement scheme?
Be aware that the home page of the EU Settlement Scheme is addressed to EEA nationals, and advises they should enter the UK by December 31st 2020. Again this is for the sponsoring EEA nationals NOT for their family members. Also it clearly says the deadline for applying is June 30th 2021.The gov.uk says that's the deadline for entering the UK then applying
Provided the in-laws are issued family permits, whenever that happens, they will be treated as close family members and will meet all three conditions to be admitted after December 31st.If you’re overseas and a family member of an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen living in the UK
The deadline for you to join your family member in the UK is 31 December 2020 (or 31 December 2025 if your partner is Swiss and you get married or form a civil partnership after 31 December 2020).
If you’re not living in the UK by the deadline, you’ll still be able to apply if all of the following are true:
- your family member has either settled or pre-settled status
- your relationship began before 31 December 2020
- you remain a close family member, for example a spouse, civil partner, unmarried partner, a dependent child or grandchild, or a dependent parent or grandparent

If you grant pre-settled status where the applicant has pre-settled status, then it will vary (replace) the earlier grant of pre-settled status. The date of the first grant of pre-settled status will remain the start date of their pre-settled status. The expiry date of their pre-settled status will be five years from the date of decision on the further application for pre-settled status.
Everyone's case is different. As you've seen the full context of an answer is usually only unearthed after a lot of digging, so better not to piggyback on someone else's post. Open a new question and you'll have a tailored answer.SHM201 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 7:38 pmHi,
I understand that close family members can come after 31st DEC on EEA permit or EUSS permit and apply for a pre-settled status after 31st DEC but before end of June 2021.
What happens to the extended family who can only fly after 31st DEC (waiting for passport)?
The applicant is Non-EEA, dependent family permit
In your posts you state you are a Dutch citizen. eea-route-applications/eea-family-visa- ... l#p1972747

Family members of a EEA sponsor who has already started living in the UK prior to December 31st, and has status under the Settlement Scheme, can apply until June 30th 2021.
