Hi Pelku,

You need to have been resident in the UK for 3 years prior to 1 September 2013 to be classed as a UK student.

You've mentioned 2 years and 10 months....is that how long you've currently been here or will be here when your course starts?

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

No, that's my current position. It will 3 years in August.

Hi again,

Great stuff, as you're applying as a UK student who should not have answered yes to the questions about family member from the EEA.

Please speak with an adviser on 0845 300 5090 who will help to get this corrected on your application.

Thanks,
Mark-Lee

If I change my answer to this question to a "no", it asks me whether or not I have the "settled status". I will have lived 3 years in the UK before the start of the course, so does that mean I will automatically receive settled status?

Can I just check are you an EU national?

Yes, I have been living in the EU for my whole life.

Great, you can put yes to the settled status question then.

Thanks a lot for your help! Should I contact Migrant Worker team or do it myself?

Hi again,

No you're not a Migrant Worker if you've been here more than 3 years. I think it would be a good idea for you to contact one of our customer advisers on 0845 300 5090 to make sure you're answering the questions on your form correctly.

Thanks,
Mark
