Changes to pre-settled status: Q&A with immigration experts

On this webinar we presented the recent changes to the EU Settlement Scheme, around extensions of pre-settled status and automated upgrades to settled status for EU citizens and family members. We were joined by a representative from the Independent Monitoring Authority (IMA) and immigration experts who took your questions. We also briefly went through how to apply for settled status, once you have five years of continuous residence in the UK, and pointed out a common trap people can fall into (adding additional evidence to past applications rather than starting a new application). Our panel included Immigration Lawyer Chris Benn (Seraphus), Head of Policy and Advocacy Kezia Tobin (the3million) and representatives from the IMA, the independent public body responsible for protecting the rights of EU citizens in the UK and which led the legal challenge against the Home Office that resulted in these changes to the EU Settlement Scheme.
