Webinar replay: Extensions, upgrades and curtailment of pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme

The situation for pre-settled status holders under the EU Settlement Scheme is increasingly complex.

Automatic extensions to pre-settled status have already caused widespread confusion, as receiving an automatic extension does not alter the eligibility requirements for settled status.

Now the Home Office plans to begin automatically upgrading people to settled status where possible, but there will be large numbers of pre-settled status holders who cannot be automatically upgraded. In some cases the Home Office may then seek to curtail their status.

Many pre-settled status holders are understandably confused as to whether and how they can qualify for settled status and what they should do if they’re faced with a notice of curtailment.

This webinar provides an overview of the issues arising from automatic extensions of pre-settled status and the plans for automatic upgrades to settled status. We discuss what to do if the Home Office seeks to curtail an individual’s status and equip you with the knowledge and understanding needed to advise pre-settled status holders on their options.
