IMPORTANT: If you need to sponsor a family member, please read potential impact on family members before you apply for British citizenship.

Once you have settled or pre-settled status, or if you acquired PR status in the past, you are lawfully resident under that status and don't need to work, exercise treaty rights, nor even think about CSI.

Settled status cannot be backdated,anyone not married to, or in a civil partnership with, a British citizen, needs to wait at least 12 months from the date it was granted to apply, regardless of their lenght of residence in the UK. PR cards will be valid till the end of this year, awaiting confirmation from the Home Office regarding possible validity till the end of June.
A gentle reminder to our members to refrain from exchanging private messages with questions or advice, since the private messages cannot be checked by our lawyers, therefore the accuracy or relevance of the responses cannot be guaranteed. Thank you.
