It is time we, too, show appreciation by offering EU citizens, who have not met the 5-year residency requirement for Settled Status, the opportunity to apply for Settled Status after:
-3 years of continuous residency in the UK.
-Being actively engaged in the national effort during Covid-19 as a key worker.
