LNB news: Six million applications made to EU Settlement Scheme says Home Office

The Home Office has published statistics explaining that there were six million applications to the EU Settlement Scheme
Lexis®Library update: There are around 570,000 pending applications, with more than 400,000 being made in June 2021 alone.

The government has assured those who applied before the deadline that their rights will be protected until their application has been decided. Individuals who submitted an application by the deadline will receive a Certificate of Application, which can be used to prove immigration status if required.

The Home Office has stated that most non-complex applications are decided within five days, with extra resource being put into concluding applications as soon as possible. The Home Office also provides further information about the flexible and pragmatic approach that will be taken for late applications.
