Improved EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and family permit
Dec 01, 2022
On the 9th of November 2022 guidance was updated to reflect changes agreed at the time of the Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules.
Concessions recently introduced to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) for EU nationals and those eligible for EUSS family permits have been brought into the Immigration Rules. These changes include:
- clarifying cases in which late arriving family members after the transition period can begin a qualifying period of residence in the UK under the EUSS.
- uncoupling reliance on EEA Regulations and reflecting judgments on derivative rights cases, primary carers of British citizen family members, and primary carers of self-sufficient EU citizen children; and
- allowing those in the UK with limited leave to remain or those exempt from immigration control to apply for EUSS until the end of their current period of leave rather than the standard requirement to apply within three months of arrival to the UK.
