Chapter 13: Appendix EU (EU Settlement Scheme)
/
What is the main purpose of Appendix EU in the UK Immigration Rules?
Appendix EU governs the eligibility and criteria for EEA citizens, Swiss nationals, and their family members applying under the EU Settlement Scheme.
Under Appendix EU, 'settled status' is granted to applicants who have completed a continuous qualifying period of 5 years’ residence in the UK.
Settled status (indefinite leave to remain) is granted after a continuous qualifying period of at least 5 years' lawful residence in the UK under Appendix EU.
Which of the following groups is eligible to apply under Appendix EU?
Appendix EU applies to EEA and Swiss nationals and their eligible family members who were residing in the UK before 31 December 2020.
Can a person with less than 5 years’ residence apply under Appendix EU?
Individuals with less than 5 years’ continuous residence may be granted pre-settled status (limited leave to remain) under Appendix EU.
Maria, a Spanish citizen, has been in the UK since January 2020. She applies to the EU Settlement Scheme in June 2021. What is she likely to receive?
Maria has not yet accrued 5 years’ continuous residence, so she would likely be granted pre-settled status if otherwise eligible.
What does 'durable partner' mean under Appendix EU?
A durable partner is defined as someone in a genuine and durable relationship, typically evidenced by cohabitation or long-term commitment.
An application under Appendix EU can be refused solely on the grounds that the applicant failed to provide biometric data.
Failure to provide biometrics is not an automatic ground for refusal, but it may delay or invalidate an application if not rectified.
Which of the following is NOT considered a valid reason for the Home Office to refuse an application under Appendix EU?
Paper submission is not a mandatory requirement. Applications can be made online, and refusal is not based on format alone.
Can children born in the UK to parents with settled status be British citizens automatically?
Children born in the UK to at least one parent with settled status are automatically British citizens by birth.
