Our EU Settlement Scheme solicitors provide legal advice and support with EUSS applications, refusals, appeals and status related issues, helping clients secure their lawful status in the UK.
The EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) allows eligible EU, EEA and Swiss nationals, as well as their family members, to continue living, working and studying in the UK following Brexit.
Depending on your circumstances, applicants may be granted either settled status or pre settled status. The application process can become complex where there are issues relating to residence, absences from the UK, late applications or eligibility concerns.
Our EU Settlement Scheme solicitors assess your eligibility, residence history and immigration circumstances before advising on the most suitable route under the scheme.
We regularly assist clients with:
Our immigration solicitors ensure applications are properly prepared with the correct supporting evidence to reduce the risk of delays or refusal.
Applicants must meet Home Office eligibility requirements and provide evidence of identity, nationality and UK residence.
The requirements can vary depending on whether you are applying for settled status, pre settled status or as a joining family member.
Applicants generally need to show that they were resident in the UK by the relevant Brexit deadlines.
For settled status, applicants usually need to demonstrate five years of continuous residence in the UK, while applicants with a shorter period of residence may qualify for pre settled status.

We help clients assess eligibility, identify gaps in evidence and prepare strong supporting representations to meet Home Office requirements.
Although the main EUSS deadline has passed, some individuals may still be able to submit a late application where there are reasonable grounds for missing the deadline.
This may include medical or compassionate circumstances, lack of awareness of the requirement to apply, serious personal difficulties or situations involving vulnerable individuals and children.
We advise clients on whether reasonable grounds may apply and prepare detailed representations to support late applications.
Certain family members of EU, EEA and Swiss nationals may still qualify under the EU Settlement Scheme.
This may include:
Applicants must usually provide evidence of the family relationship and demonstrate eligibility under the Immigration Rules. We assist families with both in country applications and overseas family permit applications.
Some EUSS applications may be refused due to issues relating to residence, identity, criminal records or eligibility.
Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to request an administrative review, lodge an appeal, submit further evidence or make a fresh application.
