Perhaps, but she does not have legal residence in the UK at the moment. Not filing in the correct forms at the correct time can seriously negatively impact the immigration journey.
That may have depended on what you expected of a "seamless" change. It is seamless from the viewpoint of a non-EEA immigrant, who needs to fill in longer forms, with much higher fees (£1000+ per application per person).
Go for somebody from the Guardian, the Independent or Channel 4. They are the ones most likely to be sympathetic to your plight. And of course, the New European as well.
Apart from what the others have said, let's not pour out the baby with the bath water.
Even if we look at the absolute worst case scenario - citizenship application rejected, settled status rejected, somehow also pre-settled status rejected, all avenues through her EU nationality somehow closed - she could still apply for a spouse visa as the spouse of a British citizen. She might have to go to Poland for a bit to do that but it would not be impossible.
The Home Office helpline is outsourced to a third party contractor. They can likely see very limited information. And anyway, we on these forums have known them to give incorrect immigration information. So I would not rely on the information provided by them.
Because she did not apply before the deadline, to the best of my knowledge, she does not currently have legal status within the UK. Had she applied before the deadline, she would have been issued a CoA, which would have extended her then legal status until the time her application was processed.
How does one go about exercising proof of this, if the application isn't even being reviewed and is stuck in an inbox 500k deep ?vinny wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 1:10 pmGood news for EU citizens making late applications for post-Brexit residence rights
If you read the thread, this was already posted by moderator vinny on the 26th. No need to post the same information again.mbhm wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:54 amhttps://www.freemovement.org.uk/good-ne ... aPyLXgOH7Q
