Changes to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and EUSS family permit
The main changes in respect of the Immigration Rules for the EUSS in Appendix EU and for the EUSS family permit in Appendix EU (Family Permit) are as follows:
• to provide that, where a joining family member arrives in the UK with other limited leave (e.g. a work or study visa) or as a person exempt from immigration control, the deadline for them to apply to the EUSS is linked to the end of that status, rather than within three months of their arrival in the UK.
