Legal Support for EEA Citizens and Their Family Members Living in the UK
EU Settlement Scheme – Secure Your Rights to Stay in the UK After Brexit
Comprehensive Legal Support from London’s Leading Solicitors
The EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) allows EU, EEA, Swiss citizens and their eligible family members to continue living in the UK following Brexit. While the main deadline passed in 2021, many people can still apply late, switch from pre-settled to settled status, or join family already in the UK.
At Right Law Solicitors, we provide tailored immigration support to help you navigate the complexities of the scheme, from late applications and family permits to status upgrades and appeals.
What Is the EU Settlement Scheme?
The EU Settlement Scheme enables eligible individuals to:
- Live, work, and study in the UK
- Access public services, healthcare, and benefits
- Bring eligible family members to the UK
- Travel freely in and out of the UK
- Apply for British citizenship after holding settled status for 12 months
There are two key statuses under the scheme:
- Pre-Settled Status: For applicants with less than 5 years of UK residence
- Settled Status: For applicants with 5+ years of continuous UK residence
Who Can Apply Under the EU Settlement Scheme?
- EU, EEA, or Swiss citizens who were living in the UK by 31 December 2020
- Non-EEA family members (spouse, partner, children, dependent parents or grandparents)
- Individuals with previous pre-settled status eligible for upgrade to settled status
- Late applicants who can demonstrate reasonable grounds for missing the deadline
- Family members applying via the EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit
We handle in-country applications, late submissions, and overseas family reunification.
Common Scenarios We Handle
- Late applications with strong supporting evidence
- Switching from pre-settled to settled after 5 years of residence
- Non-EEA spouses or partners joining EU nationals in the UK
