European Nationals and Family Members

As a UK-based legal practice in Nottingham, we remain committed to assisting European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Swiss citizens and their family members. 

While the main deadline for applications to the EU Settlement Scheme has passed, there are still circumstances under which you may be eligible to apply or need further assistance.

Our experienced legal team offers clear, concise, and authoritative guidance to help you understand your position and navigate the complexities surrounding the EU Settlement Scheme. We recognise that the rules can still be intricate, and we are here to provide the expert support you need.

How We Can Help

Late Applications

We can assess your eligibility for making a late application to the EU Settlement Scheme if you have reasonable grounds for missing the initial deadline. We will guide you through the process of compiling the necessary evidence to support your late application.

Applications for Family Members

If you are an eligible EU, EEA, or Swiss citizen with settled or pre-settled status, we can assist your family members (who may be from any nationality) in applying to join you in the UK. We will advise on the specific requirements and documentation needed for their applications.

Challenging Refusals

If your application to the EU Settlement Scheme has been refused, we can provide expert advice on your options, including potential appeals or administrative reviews. We will carefully analyse the reasons for refusal and help you build a strong case for reconsideration.

Understanding Your Rights

We can provide clear explanations of your rights and entitlements under the EU Settlement Scheme, including your rights to work, study, access healthcare, and claim benefits in the UK.

Switching from Pre-Settled to Settled Status

We can guide you through the process of applying for settled status once you have completed five years of continuous residence in the UK with pre-settled status.

Complex Cases

We have the expertise to handle complex cases involving issues such as derivative rights of residence, Zambrano carers, and other nuanced aspects of the EU Settlement Scheme.
