(Having to apply for) Settlement Status for EU citizens who live and work legally in the UK is unfair and insulting.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you're concerned about the Settled Status scheme and EU citizens in the UK, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you're concerned about the requirement to apply for Settled Status or whether you want to abolish the scheme altogether and replace it with something else.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, to scrap the Settled Status scheme and automatically grant all EU citizens resident in the UK indefinite leave to remain, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
