Applications based on EU law
The EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) remains open to EEA & Swiss nationals who established residence in the UK before 2021, giving them the ability to regularise or extend their status in the UK, and move towards settlement. Under changes in July 2025, those living in the UK with pre-settled status may now qualify to move to settled status, even where they have broken continuity of residence in the UK since 2021.
The law governing the EUSS is complex. In cases where an application is treated late without a reasonable excuse, there may be no statutory right of appeal. We are experts in EUSS applications, including out of time applications, applications for durable partners and rights of appeal.
