Retained rights and curtailments

informatii utile, Rezidenta, , , , , , , , , ,

The automatic extension does not alter the eligibility requirements for individuals. Under paragraph EU4 of Appendix EU an individual must:

continue to meet the eligibility requirements for that leave which they met at the date of application… or meet other eligibility requirements for limited leave to enter or remain in accordance with paragraph EU14…

Indeed, under Annex 3 of Appendix EU there are a number of grounds in which permission can be curtailed including where: ‘The person ceases to meet, or never met, the requirements of this Appendix.’

As more individuals approach the five-year mark since they were granted pre-settled status, we have started to see a number of cases where the Home Office have issued ‘minded to curtail’ notifications after confirming the automatic extension of pre-settled status. Presumably, the Home Office has begun to actively review the records of pre-settled status holders who are near the end of their original five-year period.

In our experience, many of these notifications have been directed at non-EEA nationals who were originally granted pre-settled status due to their relationship with an EEA family member, such as being married, and their circumstances have since changed, such as the breakdown of that relationship.

In these cases, the individual may have a retained right of residence, depending on their circumstances. Individuals who have been granted pre-settled status before retaining rights are not required to notify the Home Office of the circumstances that have led to the change of relationship with the EEA national.

There is no requirement to make an application to vary status because an individual must continue to meet their original eligibility requirements ‘or meet other eligibility requirements’ for limited leave to remain in accordance with paragraph EU14. Meeting the retained rights provisions can be considered ‘other’ eligibility requirements.

Pre-settled status holders who have received an automatic extension may have believed that the Home Office took into account any retained rights provisions and that they do not need to take any further actions. Considering that the original pre-settled status application process was often extremely straightforward, requiring minimal documentary evidence and reviewing government held data, it is easy to think that the Home Office would make such positive decisions.

It then can come as a nasty surprise to receive a minded to curtail notification that only allows 14 days to ‘respond to this change of circumstances and provide any further information or evidence that might show reasons why your limited leave to remain should not be curtailed.’ In our experience the Home Office are often open to an extension of this period.

To only have a short period of time to provide a number of documents, in what can be a quite complex application, after their status had just been extended, can be quite distressing for applicants.

What to do

If responding to the minded to curtail notification, the strongest case must be made. Evidence must be prepared as to how the individual still meets the requirements or meets other eligibility requirements of Appendix EU and this can require documents from across the five-year period the individual has been resident in the UK.

Where the evidence has been accepted, the response from the Home Office has been surprisingly vague:

Your EU Settlement Scheme status remains valid.

We wrote to you on 21 May 2024, informing you that we are considering curtailing your Pre-settled Status due to your marriage to your EEA national sponsor/partner no longer subsisting. After receiving your response to our letter…, I have been considering whether to remove your EU Settlement Scheme status under Annex 3 of Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules.

However, after investigating your case and looking into the evidence available I have decided not to remove your status, as I am satisfied that you do not meet the criteria for curtailment…

You continue to hold limited leave to remain (also known as pre-settled status) and your existing entitlements are unaffected. You do not need to do anything further.

We had to chase the Home Office to confirm when the expiry date for our client would be and whether this would be extended, as this information is not clear in their communications.

Many individuals who fall under the category of family members who have retained the right of residence may not have applied to vary their pre-settled status during the five-year period. They are not required to do so and, more importantly, may not know that this is even an option. In our experience, the EUSS Resolution Centre used to suggest that individuals who have divorced, for instance, could take action later, which may have led to a false sense of security for some.

Conclusion

It may be safer, especially for those who qualify under the retained rights provisions of Appendix EU, to make (or start preparing) applications to vary their leave, or to apply for settled status (if eligible) before the automatic extension comes into play. As we have seen, there is a real risk that the automatic extensions can sometimes be followed by a minded to curtail notification, which may put many individuals in a vulnerable position, having a very tight timeframe to gather documents and make a case as to how they should remain in the UK.

Aviz amatorilor de acte false si făcătorilor de falsuri

Brexit, Fraude, Home Office, Immigration Enforcement, informatii utile, Noul sistem de imigratie in UK, Rezidenta, Settlement Status, UKVI, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Acest material trateaza doar situatia celor ne-eligibili , care nu intrunesc conditiile de aplicare pentru rezidenta.

Au trecut mai mult de 200 de zile de la sfarsitul perioadei de gratie in care cetatenii europeni care au fost in UK pana la data de 31 dec 2020, puteau aplica pentru schema de rezidenta EU Settlement Scheme. Mai mult de 172 000 de aplicatii au fost facute dupa deadline – intre 30 iunie 2021(data limita) si sfarsitul lui septembrie (un total de 333 200 pana in decembrie) si inca se mai fac, pentru ca cei care vor sa vina oricum, chiar daca nu intrunesc conditiile, sunt extrem de multi si sunt dezinformati, pacaliti sau “ajutati” sa aplice la noroc.

Ceea ce nu stiu “indemnătorii” si făcătorii intru facturi, payslipuri, si alte dovezi de prezenta falsificate – care profita de aceasta oportunitate si-i indeamna pe cei care nu se califica deloc sa aplice cu acte produse de ei, e ca, in afara de dovada de prezenta in ultimele 6 luni ale anului trecut, a mai aparut o cerinta in aplicatia intarziata pentru settlement: one piece of evidence dated within the 6 month before your application(o dovada de prezenta datata in ultimele 6 luni dinaintea aplicatiei). Floare la ureche, s-ar spune, or sa foloseasca biletul de avion cu care au sosit sau, pentru ca au venit la noroc, pe șest si nu pot face nimic fara acte, or sa mai cumpere de la careva o factura datata in ultimele 6 luni dinaintea aplicatiei, pe langa falsurile pe care le-au cumparat ca sa demonstreze ca au fost in uk, dar nu au aplicat la timp.

Doar ca de la 1 oct. nu mai mai intra in UK decat cu pasaportul, care pasaport, ghinion, contine toate informatiile despre unde si cand a fost folosit. Asa ca Home Office stie:

– ca Nelutzu – care n-a calcat in viata lui in UK si care a aplicat in acum in octombrie 2021, cu documente proband ca a intarziat pentru ca a fost bolnav, izolat sau vulnerabil si a prezentat un bill la apa sau payslip din dec 2020 si unul de prin vara asta eventual – Nelutzu asta minte in aplicatie si foloseste falsuri in scopul obtinerii rezidentei.

-iar daca acelasi Nelutzu care n-a mai calcat vreodata in UK, aplica din Romania pentru rezidenta, cu aceleasi acte procurate de la facatorii de bine de pe fb, pentru ca ii trebuie Certificatul de aplicare(COA) cu care crede ca poate intra fara probleme, atunci Home Office iara stie asta din datele pasaportului folosit la intrarea in UK si desi are COA nu-l lasa se intre.

– Home Office verifica repetat aplicatiile in timp, si dupa acordarea rezidentei.

Pentru cei doritori de venit in UK la munca, care nu se califica pentru acea schema de rezidenta si sunt tentati sa treaca pe sub lege apeland la falsuri, las o nota cu informatii mai jos, continand doar cateva offences.

Nota:

[Most commonly prosecuted immigration offences:

– Obtaining leave by deception – s24A(1) Immigration Act 1971 – 2 years’ custody

– Documentary offences will usually be prosecuted under the Identity Documents Act 2010 (IDA), which has a higher maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.

– Offences involving breaches of immigration control are considered to be serious and merit deterrent sentences: Seeking to enter, as well as actually entering; Action taken to remain in the UK, such as preventing or deferring removal.

– The manufacture and distribution of false documents on a commercial basis, for significant gain – 10 years – under 2006 Act offences –

– Assisting someone to remain by deception, by entering into a sham marriage or by procuring false documents – (Assisting Unlawful Immigration to a Member State (facilitation) – s25 Immigration Act 1971) 14 years’ custody.]
