This webinar is for immigration practitioners advising people with pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. We will focus on the issues arising from automatic extensions, automatic upgrades to settled status, and consider in what circumstances the Home Office may look to curtail an individual’s status.
The situation for holders of pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme is complex.
Automatic extensions and upgrades to settled status have caused widespread confusion, with updates to the continuous residence rules and the continuing development of automation. Large numbers of pre-settled status holders cannot be automatically upgraded and in some cases the Home Office may seek to curtail their status.

I wish to thank Jasmine from the bottom of my heart for her excellent tuition, course delivery, exam feedback and the support she has provided to me for the two Level 2 training courses that I attended in April and October 2024. I achieved a high pass mark which enabled me and my firm to provide advice and services for complex casework in both the immigration and asylum categories. I truly do not think I would have been successful without her professional and invaluable assistance.
We have two members of the team who completed the level 1 course delivered in January – they have just passed their competency assessments with flying colours 😊 Thank you for the excellent course structure and support which will have contributed towards their success.
It’s a great way to gain foundational understanding of immigration law that is digestible yet still comprehensive. I liked how interactive the class was where we were encouraged to utilise our knowledge and test our understanding.
Detailed but not overwhelming. The examples where good and illustrated complex parts well. The quiz at the end was very good.

I thought the test questions were helpful. The language used was clear. The visuals for more complicated parts of the rules were great.
Very clear language, useful examples, links to relevant further information, legislation, etc.
