Overview
A clear path through EU Settlement Scheme.
The EU Settlement Scheme grants settled or pre-settled status to EU, EEA and Swiss citizens (and their family members) who were resident in the UK by 31 December 2020. Late applications are still possible with reasonable grounds.
We help with late applications, complex family cases, and conversions from pre-settled to settled status.
