EU Settlement Scheme Retained Rights

If you are a non-EEA national wanting to retain your EU rights, Sterling Shore Solicitors are here to help.

We are leading experts in EU Settlement Scheme Retained Rights applications and offer you a free initial assessment to ensure you meet the stringent requirements set out by the Home Office.

Our Lawyers, Solicitors and Barristers take ownership of the entire process from start to finish and will offer you continuing support until you receive your decision.

We provide expert legal advice and outstanding customer service all within a one-off fixed fee with no hidden charges.

What you need to know

Family members of European Economic Area nationals can in certain situations retain their right to remain in the UK.

This can include:

  • If your marriage or civil partnership has ended
  • The person has died, and you lived in the UK for at least 1 year prior to this
  • You are the child of an EEA national, their spouse/civil partner or their former spouse/civil partner who has died or left the UK and you were in education at the time, and continue to remain in education
  • You are the parent and have custody of a child who has retained rights because they are in education

If you have previously applied for and were granted a Retained Rights Residence Card this will no longer be valid after 30th June 2021 and you will need to apply under the EU Settlement Scheme in order to continue to live in the UK.

The exact requirements can be varying and specific to your individual circumstances.

Can I Apply Without a Solicitor?

UK immigration law is governed by complex legislation, detailed Immigration Rules and strict Home Office guidance. Every visa category has specific requirements that must be satisfied, and even minor errors or omissions can result in an application being delayed or refused.

Seeking specialist legal advice at the outset can significantly reduce the risk of avoidable mistakes. Applicants who prepare and submit their own applications often underestimate the complexity of the Immigration Rules, increasing the risk of refusal and the loss of substantial Home Office fees.

When you instruct Sterling Shore Solicitors, your matter will be handled by a specialist immigration solicitor with the expertise best suited to your individual circumstances. From initial instruction through to final decision, we will prepare your application, advise you on the evidence required, liaise with the Home Office where appropriate and provide comprehensive legal representation throughout your case.

Our bespoke end-to-end service, technical expertise, meticulous preparation and proven track record have earned us a reputation for delivering exceptional legal representation across all areas of UK immigration and nationality law.

I highly recommend this solicitor firm for anyone applying for a spouse visa. Their service was excellent from start to finish and they made the whole journey smooth and stress-free.

Ben AsieduSpouse Visa Client

I was recommended Riaz by a friend, and I am so glad I was because he made the whole Spouse Visa process so easy and stress free for us. He was with us every step of the way and always so helpful. We got my husband's Spouse Visa in 17 working days which was amazing! We look forward to working with Riaz again for our renewal!

Poppy JefferySpouse Visa Client

I had a great experience working with Shahista and her team. They were professional, responsive, and very supportive throughout my visa process. Everything was handled smoothly and clearly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. I really appreciate their help and guidance. I would definitely recommend their services.

Frequently asked questions

Immigration is one of the most complex areas of law in the UK. The Home Office have specific rules and it is essential you demonstrate that you meet the strict requirements of the visa that you wish to apply for. The smallest of errors can lead to your application being refused and the loss of your Home Office fees which can be in the region of hundreds or thousands of pounds. Reapplying or appealing against the decision of the Home Office can cost you more money as well as waste time. With the help of our professional immigration Solicitors/ Barristers, we will ensure that your application is completed correctly and provide the Home Office with all the essential documentation they require to give you a favourable decision.

Immigration cases are all different and based on your personal circumstances.
