Zambrano Settled Status EU settlement scheme Paper Application Form - NEW

[to be free]

Be careful though as many letters from families could suggest to them that there are families who can step in should u leave the UK.
I will give you an example: When my derivative residence application was refused, I appealed. Right at the beginning of the hearing, the HOPO said to my lawyer that he was surprised of the refusal letter, meaning I should not have been refused, however said he was there to do his job so we carried on with the hearing. In my cross examination, I was asked if I had any family members in the UK, I said I had a cousin. That was it. Surprisingly, in the HOPO s closing statement, he argued that my cousin could look after my child. My lawyer intervene saying that it was unacceptable for him to assume that my cousin could do so without knowing what her circumstances were. The judge agreed and I won my appeal

It is easy for the home office to turn things round to suit them so just bear that in mind. Sometimes less is more.

So one just hands over a child like that and leaves the country...this person saying am sure afterwards they feel bad about it. Just like that, you are my cousin, I cannot live in the UK, here take my child


Nawao!!

Yours sincerely

Congratulations, you are on your way to freedom.
I cried on monday after seeing their update. It is like touching success and having it snatched from you.
I am really happy for you

Exactly, it is that near miss aspect of the whole thing.... I was content on my route (or so I thought), looking after my child, they advertised and asked us to apply even initially said we could bring our cousins, parents. We applied, then the drama started, they started reducing the list of those we could bring, ok, I don’t even want to bring anybody, just give me what you promised. They refused.

Hi guys, it looks like Doughty Street Chambers will be holding an online seminar to discuss the new Zambrano Carer changes on 8th July between 4pm- 5pm. It's free to attend you just need to book a place. https://www.doughtystreet.co.uk/event/n ... ano-carers

Mhhhhhh. Yes ooooo, case of using a very long spoon when dinning with certain individuals.
My letters are always from offices and organisations, GP, Schools, After School club etc.
I have started calling them and requesting the letters. Thank you so much.

"New EU Settlement Scheme rules for Zambrano carers?

Doughty Street Chambers will host a webinar to update practitioners, and anyone affected, on the changes. As Part 3 of our seminar series on the Akinsanya case.

The changes could affect thousands of third country national parents who were primary carers of British citizen children in the UK on or before 31 December 2020. The existing EUSS rules exclude those who already have leave to remain under a different route, such as on family life grounds under Appendix FM. In Akinsanya, the Court of Appeal found that the Secretary of State had misinterpreted domestic legislation when formulating the rules, but that her analysis of the EU law position was correct. Following the judgment, the Home Secretary agreed to look again at the rules.

The seminar will cover:

- Any changes to the rules

- How they affect Zambrano carers

- How to apply for settled status or pre-settled status as a Zambrano carer under the EU Settlement Scheme

- Late applications, appeals and other practical matters"

Sis Lulubaby
At this stage they are looking to see whether you qualify for Settled or pre-settled status. So it’s a very positive letter.
Even if HO should not be trusted 100% but your time has come. I am an optimistic person, this letter says all. You are going to receive a good news from them

Honestly I thought this application was very straight forward. I should have known from the way HO started asking for evidence and more evidence that the thing was turning into a case- a very big case for that matter. Lulubaby vs SSHD.
See me see SSHD.
I can’t thank God enough that there is the option of paper presentation during this whole drama, You can imagine what would have happened if sending emails is not done via zoom or teams. With the help of this forum Lulubaby just made it all look like ‘Paddington was actually sitting there drinking tea from that kettle’.

[Mya101]

Sound..you’re indeed a warrior.I have done my biometric and they have sent me COA,just want to know if they can still ask me for additional document or decision.

Thanks

They didn’t send me a COA until I emailed the HO lawyer and got emailed a COA.
I then called EU resolution centre and they updated the prove your status link and I could then see my COA online.
At one point I also had a problem getting a share code, the HO lawyer notified EU resolution centre and they called me to sort it out.

Doses this means if the person has FM 10 year route renew every 2.5 years visa, they will not get eu settlement for zambrano?

From the hackney law firm website
The Home Office have now published their reviewed guidance following the Akinsanya appeal. Unfortunately, they have not removed restrictions prohibiting those with other forms of leave from applying for settled status. We are considering the next steps.

[LULUBABY]

However, the Court of Appeal found that, as a matter of EU law, a Zambrano right to reside does not arise where a person holds leave to remain

If this is HO stand on this, why are they asking me for supporting documents?. It just makes me feel it is their usual way- ask for supporting documents, then refusal decision follows. Ohhhhh!!!!! Mhhhh.

Wowwww looks like finally I have managed to highlight my texts yellow when typing a post here. Others could do it except me. I don’t usually look beyond those smiling emojis.

[Nyamebeye]

I will say the inconsistencies of the home office can can be in play here. They have done it before by granting EU status to people who had leave to remain.
All their letter templates are pre-populated. You just have to pray and wait. Remember it's case by case. It is well.

If you read their guidance well, I think it says people who got leave to remain at the end of the transition period are not eligible for status under Zambrano.
When did your leave expired?

Agree! They’re inconsistent and yes they granted euss Zambrano leave to so many people with leave to remain.
I just don’t get that!

Hi
My flr fp first lot of 2.5 years expired on 10th December 2021 and I didn't apply for renewal on flrfp as I am waiting for outcome on zambrano I have applied zambrano on 29th June 2021.
What would happen now?
I am so concerned?
Also I haven't received COA yet called them 3 times already.

[Agyapa]

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.

Wow that was a long fight, well done for getting through that.
I wanted to ask about point 23.
What did you put in your explanation of why child will have to follow primary carer if she was to leave the UK indefinitely?

If one parent is working full time, and the other parent does not work and just looks after the child, getting them ready for school including dropping them off and picking them up. Then taking them to doctors when required.

How can you show that the british child with leave with non-working parent, if they were told to leave UK?
Whole point is that you do not want to put your child in paid child-care, that is why the parent is not working in the first place.
Thanks

[Agyapa]

@rai75, you have to show the HO how you care for the child. Explain that without your support the British child's welfare will be negatively impacted in all aspects of their life (socially, emotionally, financially, etc). Get the other British parent to write a supporting letter explaining how you support your child and the challenges the child will face if you were to leave the UK indefinitely.

Hi, when did you do your finger prints? how long after did you get your COA? Was the COA sent in the post or via email? Does it say what the status of your case it?
Thanks

[Nyamebeye]

Perhaps go ahead and renew the flr fp.
When did you apply for the EUSS?

I think they are rushing to issue COA s. Not sure why. The hubby has received a second COA today having got one in Jan 22. I also received COA today which I am annoyed at. I have my pre settled status expiring 2025 replaced with digital COA. I mean how would I want it replaced with COA? I specifically wrote a letter asking for them to leave my digital pre settled status as it is until they make a decision on my settled status. I haven't done my biometric yet but have booked for next month. They would never have issued COA if you haven't done biometric in the past. I don't need COA. Was happy with my pre settled showing online

[Nyamebeye]

Has anyone experienceed this sort of thing before?
