01

Your UK Status under the EU Settlement Scheme

If you're worried about your status under Appendix EU, don't risk it with incorrect paperwork or a missed deadline.

Yes, the main EU Settlement Scheme deadline has passed. But a late application may still be possible if you have reasonable grounds — and other routes may be open to you too. Many EU nationals assume it's too late when it simply isn't.

We handle EU Settlement Scheme applications, late applications and reviews. Fixed fees agreed in writing. A real solicitor working with you from day one — not a call centre.

  • Late applications considered where reasonable grounds apply
  • Fixed fees agreed in writing
  • Direct solicitor access, not call centres
  • Nationwide service, with offices in London and Bradford

And whatever service you need, you'll always get a fixed fee agreed in writing and direct access to your solicitor. No surprises, no passing you around.

Common Questions

eu settlement scheme FAQ

Plain-English answers to the questions we hear most often about eu settlement scheme.

Ask Us Anything

Missing the deadline doesn't necessarily mean it's too late. If you had a genuine reason — serious illness, caring responsibilities, or something equally significant — you may still be able to apply. We'll look at your situation honestly, and if there's a case to make, we'll put together a late application that directly addresses the reasonable-grounds requirement. Because the criteria can shift, we'll also confirm exactly where things stand before we proceed.

Settled status means you've built up a longer period of continuous residence in the UK, so you get indefinite leave to remain. Pre-settled status is more of a temporary arrangement — but you can usually upgrade it to settled status once you hit the residence requirement. Either way, both protect your right to live and work in the UK for as long as they're valid.

Once you have settled status, you can usually apply to naturalise after holding it for 12 months — as long as you meet the other requirements, such as the Life in the UK Test, the English-language requirement and the residence rules. We'll guide you through the process and help you get the timing right.

Depending on the reasons, you may be able to apply for an administrative review or submit a new application addressing the refusal. Time can be important to protect your status, so contact us promptly. We review the decision and advise on the best next step. Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome.

Yes, each family member generally needs their own application – children included, though some dependants have simpler requirements. We can prepare multiple family applications at the same time and advise you on exactly what evidence each one needs.

Travel is generally fine, but extended absences can cause problems with continuous residence — especially if you're on pre-settled status and working towards settled status. Check with us before any lengthy trip, particularly if you're mid-application.
