During our latest monthly Live information session for EU citizens, we covered the Home Office policy of removing pre-settled status from those who have been absent from the UK for long periods.
Many pre-settled status holders heard of this news when it was announced in April and some will already have been impacted or worry that they may be at risk. To help pre-settled status holders better understand this process, an immigration lawyer presented the process during our live session.
In the session a qualified immigration lawyer explained:
- What being absent from the UK for too long means and which pre-settled status holders may be at risk
- How the Home Office will notify if someone is considered for curtailment
- What information and evidence should be provided to keep pre-settled status
- Whether the decision to remove your pre-settled status can be challenged
During the session participants asked live questions about the EU settlement scheme, curtailment and family members under the EUSS.
Information sessions are hosted monthly on Facebook. They cover relevant topics about EU citizens in the UK and the EU settlement scheme. The sessions are delivered by an immigration lawyer allowing viewers to share any relevant questions they may have. If you are looking for information about curtailment, you can now watch and re-watch the session on our YouTube channel.
To watch and ask questions live, join the next Information session in October 2026. The event will take place on our Facebook page EU in the UK.
