What a fun Sunday evening trying/failing to apply to remain in the country I've lived in since Sept 2012 🙃#EUSettlementScheme

It started well. I have an Android phone!

Not the right kind of Android phones though, so had to borrow another one...
Then, borrowed phone which had worked wonders for my husband’s application refuses to read my passport’s chip.

This means I will have to send my passport to the Home Office, which is never a fun thing to do (thankfully, as many EU citizens I have a second form of ID). 🙃🙃
All clear? If only. Not enough evidence for my residence for 2013, 2014, 2015, only offered pre-settled status...

All years for which I have P60s – but was earning next to nothing (teaching 10-15 hours a year during PhD). So… additional evidence needed for full settled status.
Thankfully, there is a long list of evidence accepted and I'm still with same bank so could access old bank statements & had a few pdfs saved of our water bills from 6, 5 and 4 years ago...
Ready to log back in, get code sent to my phone for authentication, types it in: Access Denied. #betaversion

Anyway - this didn't happen with code sent by email, logging on a phone 🙃🙃🙃, so eventually was able to log back in and upload proofs of my water usage of 6 years ago.
