EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) Applications

NARA Solicitors advises EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals and their family members on EU Settlement Scheme applications, including late applications and appeals against refused decisions.

EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) Applications

The EU Settlement Scheme was introduced to protect the rights of EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals and their family members who were living in the UK before the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Those who qualified could apply for either Settled Status, if they had five or more years of continuous residence, or Pre-Settled Status, if they had less than five years. The deadline for initial applications was 30 June 2021, though late applications can still be made where there are reasonable grounds for the delay.

Pre-Settled Status holders need to apply for Settled Status before their Pre-Settled Status expires, once they have reached five years of continuous residence. The Home Office has confirmed that Pre-Settled Status can be extended automatically in certain circumstances, but holders should not assume this applies to their situation without checking. Family members who were not living in the UK before 31 December 2020 may have a right to join an EUSS holder in the UK under the family permit route, depending on the relationship and when it was formed.

NARA Solicitors advises on late EUSS applications, applications for Settled Status, appeals against refusals, and the rights of family members under the scheme. If your application has been refused or you are uncertain whether you are eligible to apply late, we can review your circumstances and advise on the options available to you. Given that EUSS status underpins your legal right to live and work in the UK, it is important to ensure your status is secure and up to date.
