📢📢Get writing!

A cross-party amendment has been tabled by @Meg_HillierMP to the Nationality and Borders bill, asking for physical proof of status for EU citizens.

Very short 🧵on how to write, and other important info about the bill.

Ask your MP to support amendment NC9 during the debate next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Apart from correcting historical anomalies in citizenship legislation, the rest of the bill is mainly about the overhaul of the UK asylum system, which has been widely criticised.

We include some links from other organisations below.

🧵The latest EUSS quarterly stats were released last week.

We now know a bit more about post-deadline applications.

They are not all 'late' applications - which is why the scheme will be very busy for years to come.

But processing capacity seems to continue to slow down.

We'll analyse the 3 types of post-deadline applications, but first let's see how those submitted BEFORE the deadline are doing.

There were 606,000 outstanding applications on 1 July.

Of those, 274,000 - or 45% - are STILL waiting for a decision at the end of September.

@IMA_CitRights

We have reports of people waiting for months and months.

Time during which lives can be ruined - jobs lost, welfare denied. Let's not forget the context of COVID.

We compiled a report to @IMA_CitRights about the extent and impact of delays. Read it here: the3million.org.uk/ima-report-nov…

On July 1, EU citizens who haven’t applied for status will lose their rights. No one should become unlawful on 1 July. This goes against the promise made in 2016. Innocent people will have the rug pulled from under their feet.

We have warned the Government since 2016 about the risk of making people unlawful overnight. It’s now happening in a week’s time on a big scale. As an example, 1 in 6 EU citizens receiving pensions and benefits have not applied yet.

@MigObs

While applying for status has been straightforward for many, there are barriers for vulnerable people and children, as highlighted by the @MigObs. The Home Office knows that innocent people will become unlawful residents on 1 July.
