Permanent Residence For EU Nationals

Since post Brexit, the status of EU Nationals in the UK who has not obtained Permanent Residency status or British citizenship are uncertain to certain extent. They may face several difficulties in future when they travel or enter the UK. The permanent residence status is required to prove that you have the right to remain permanently in the UK and also to apply for British citizenship. Any EU National who has completed a continuous period of 5 years in the UK and has excercised the treaty rights, they may be eligible to apply for permanent residence status. We can assess your eligibility to apply for permanent residency and can assist you to apply for permanent residency. We are specialists in Immigration Law and can provide complete assistance and advice in relation to UK Immigration.

Our Reported Cases (Precedents):

​

We are proud to say we have obtained the following significant landmark cases which has made far reaching effects in Immigration Law.

 

Ø      [2012] UKUT 00039 – Philipson Vs SSHD: This case relates to the ILR application which was refused by the UKBA stating that the applicant was not receiving the appropriate salary as stated on the Occupation Code of Practice published by them. The Upper Tribunal has made several observations which will help many appellants and may also lead to fundamental changes to the UKBA’s policy relating to the minimum salary requirement for work permit holders.

 

Ø      [2010] UKUT 167 – US Vs SSHD: This case relates to an immigration appeal where the UKBA refused the immigration application of the whole family due to the presence in the same envelope of an invalid application by a member of the same family. The appeal was allowed by the Upper Tribunal and may have had a significant influence on the UKBA to amend their policy relating to PBS applications. This decision will help many others.
