HO is inconsistent because each person's case is different. The case workers look at your individual circumstances to decide your case. @ Lulubaby, I'm positive you will be granted your status soon. I supported a friend to apply to the EUSS in May 2019 as a person with a Zambrano right to reside when the scheme first began. She was on 10 years Appendix FM as a sole parent of her British citizen child and her visa was expiring in August 2019. She has been granted settled status this week with her BRC arriving today. Now here is a summary of her journey / timeline with EUSS to encourage everybody.
1. First EUSS Zambrano paper application submitted in June 2019
2. COA received within a few weeks (enabled her to continue working)
3. Appendix FM visa expired in August 2019 but not renewed (would have been 3rd renewal under 10 year route)
4. EEA Derivative Residence application for Zambrano status submitted in July 2020 following strong advice from Snooky (thank you so much for your invaluable support)
5. COA for EEA Zambrano received in a few weeks (enabled her to continue working)
6. EUSS scheme application refused by HO in August 2020 with no right of appeal.
7. Requested admin review of EUSS refusal in August 2020
8. Applied for fee waiver in October 2020 and applied for Appendix FM (was panicking about potential loss of job if left with no immigration status)
9. HO withdrew EUSS admin review by end of October because of Appendix FM application as they claim she cannot have two applications at the same time.
10. EEA Zambrano application refused by HO in March 2021 with right of appeal
11. Submitted appeal to FTT to be determined on the papers (again using skeleton argument template from Snooky and information from other members on this platform)
12. Following first Akinsanya jugdement, submitted 2nd EUSS paper application in June 2021
13. COA received within few weeks
14. Appendix FM fee waiver application successful and granted 2.5 years 10 year route in June 2021
15. FTT allowed EEA Zambrono refusal appeal in November 2021
16. SSHD seeks permission to appeal FTT decision to allow EEA Zambrano
17. FTT refused SSHD permission to appeal in January 2022 (notification received from FTT in March 2022)
18. Wrote to FTT to demand refund of £80 court fees in March 2022 (refunded by HO in March 2022)
19. HO writes to put 2nd EUSS application on hold pending SSHD's review of rules after 2nd Akinsanya judgement by Court of Appeal
20. Wrote to HO / EUSS in May 2022 to request formal letter of recognition of Zambrano status to confirm decision of FTT and to link this recognition with pending 2nd EUSS application
21. HO / EUSS writes in June 2022 to confirm Zambrano status and issued a BRC which expired 30/06/2021
22. HO / EUSS writes in June 2022 to request for evidence as a primary carer of the British citizen child and why the child would be unable to stay in the UK if primary carer was to leave indefinitely
23. Emailed HO / EUSS school letter covering the period of child's primary school education, NHS letters, copies of red book (Child Health Record) and explanation of why child will have to follow primary carer if she was to leave the UK indefinitely.
24. EUSS Settled status (Zambrano) granted June 2022, BRC received but expires in December 2024.
I am very optimistic that everyone who keeps fighting back HO's attempt to frustrate us will get a positive outcome eventually.
