Reports of discrimination towards #eucitizens increasing.

Though there should be no changes in the way third parties (e.g. employers) act towards European residents, there are increasing reports of differing treatments... Image
There could be a number of explanations for this, including a failure to properly understand the law in a time of extreme uncertainty.

All instances of discrimination should be reported, because if the #settledstatus scheme is not working as intended we need it fixed...
Report it to us (info@seraphus.co.uk), your European Embassy/Consulate or groups/organisations including @the3million, @publiclawprojct, @JCWI_UK and @InLimboBrexit about those instances, so that we can try fixing them at a Home Office and European level.

🚨 THREAD: Legal update for EU/EEA citizens seeking to naturalise! HO has amended the Naturalisation guidance to confirm that EEA/Swiss citizens must have been *lawfully* complying with UK immigration rules for a 10y period before applying for naturalisation as a British citizen.
1. This does not mean that they need to have been resident in the UK for 10 years (the requirement is still 5 years including 1 year free of immigration restrictions). It does, however, mean that they need to have complied with immigration requirements over the previous 10 years.
2. Previously, HO exercised discretion and leniency towards EU citizens, only requiring them in previous guidance to be lawfully resident for 5 years instead of 10 like everyone else.

Draft legislation published by the government lays out how EU citizens in the UK will be able to retain their residence rights during the grace period between the end of the transition period and the EU Settlement Scheme deadline. Key points: seraphus.co.uk/news/files/f8d…
1) Economically active EEA nationals and Swiss nationals (those who are currently lawfully resident under the EEA Regs 2016) will automatically remain lawfully in the UK after the transition period and until 30 June 2021
2) They will also be protected if they do apply before 30 June 2021, but their application is unresolved when that deadline passes.

THREAD: A new Statement of Changes to the Immigration rules came out last week. What do the changes mean and when do they take effect? Take note, international students! (with special thanks to @ILPAimmigration for their useful summary)
1. The Tier 4 Student Visa will be closed and replaced with the new "Student Route" which allows for more flexibility for students and their dependents who want to come study in the UK.
2. Some increased flexibility points: under the new route, the eight-year time limit on studying courses at postgraduate level has been removed. The new rules also permit for increased switching within the study route and between routes within the 'Points Based System'.

THREAD: Key takeaways from our article on the effect of COVID-19 on continuous residence for the purpose of the EUSS: 1/10
2. In order to qualify for settled status, an EU citizen must prove they have lived in the UK continuously for 5 years. If they can't do this, they can apply for pre-settled status, but only if they move to the UK before 31 December 2020.
3. For family applications, EU nationals will have to prove their relevant relationship existed before that date of 31 December 2020, and in some cases, that they were living in the UK for a whole year before the deadline of 31 December 2020

Yarl's Wood IRC will no longer be used to detain migrant women, and stop functioning as an immigration removal/detention centre. This is the second IRC the government shuts down after closing Morton Hall last month. bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en…
Yarl's Wood is going to be repurposed as to house Channel migrants whilst checking their health and immigration status. We know that the majority of people crossing the channel and claiming international protection are refugees.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Is @ukhomeoffice realising that detention centres are ineffective, inhumane and unnecessary? Unlikely. If Yarl's Wood is to be used as a means of temporary housing for these vulnerable individuals - then maybe it's not all bad.

Myth-buster thread on refugees and asylum claiming in the EU thanks to @freemovementlaw. freemovement.org.uk/are-refugees-o…
First and foremost, there is no obligation in the Refugee Convention, either explicit or implicit, to claim asylum in the first safe country reached by refugees. This statement by @pritipatel is not based in law or in fact. It is simply not true. (1)
Secondly, the UK is not being "flooded" with migrants, it is not "overcrowded" and the migrants arriving here are not at "a crisis point." There were 30,000 asylum claims made in the UK in the year 2017, the last year for which data are available. (2)
