My first question would be, exactly how did each of you qualify as extended family members? Who is the EU sponsor for each of you here?Mehdi Sameer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 8:22 pmme and my wife both have EU Pre Settlement status, and we want to apply visa for our newborn baby.
We both are no EU citizen, and we got this status of as British extended family member last year.
secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 24, 2022 8:57 amI suspect that in your case, your child will not be eligible to apply under Appendix EU.
Non-EEA citizens with pre-settled status can't sponsor their non-EEA spouses through Appendix EU, but they can through Appendix FM (Family Members), which requires meeting financial requirements, etc.
By analogy, I suspect that your child will have to apply for a family visa under the normal requirements for family members, rather than the provisions of Appendix EU.
You have not mentioned if the child was born in the UK or abroad. Where was the child born and where is the child now (UK or abroad)?
I don't think he can either.Mehdi Sameer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 4:25 pmI understand we can't sponsor but my British brother can do ? As we still his dependent.
As mentioned above, I suspect that the child will have to apply under some other provisions of the Immigration Rules. They will need to pay the full fees and IHS for that.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 24, 2022 8:57 amNon-EEA citizens with pre-settled status can't sponsor their non-EEA spouses through Appendix EU, but they can through Appendix FM (Family Members), which requires meeting financial requirements, etc.

For somebody to be a dependent of a British citizen on the Surinder Singh route, they need to have lived with the British citizen in the other EEA member-state before 31st December 2020 and returned to the UK en famille together.
By definition the newly born child can't meet those requirements.
Keep in mind that the dependency only extends to those specific FMs/EFMs that lived with the British citizen at the time of their EEA residency. It is not a permanent change for the British citizen to be able to sponsor any other family member in the future.

The good thing is that because the child is born in the UK, they can be registered as a British citizen as soon as either one parent gets Settled Status in the UK.
I think the closest provision of the Immigration Rules that would apply would be Rule 304. But (a) I am not certain - I'm not a lawyer - and (b) I am not sure of what would be the appropriate form to apply for the limited leave. Wait for others to advise further.
Wait until 2026 and apply, as said by secret.simon:
More knowledgeable members will advise on your current refusal, but if you see what was mentioned in the last message, you were suggested to apply via UK immigration rules, not EUSS.they can be registered as a British citizen as soon as either one parent gets Settled Status in the UK.

You might want to buy health insurance for your baby until they have been granted a visa.secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 4:35 pmAs mentioned above, I suspect that the child will have to apply under some other provisions of the Immigration Rules.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... update.pdf5.17 A child born to a person who is exempt from charges under Regulation 10 or 11 will
also be exempt from charges while they are aged three months or younger provided
that the child has not left the UK since birth. Parents should ensure that they
regularise their child’s immigration status in the UK during this three-month period,
which may include the parent paying the health surcharge on their child’s behalf. If
the parent does not regularise their child’s status, they will be liable for any charges
for treatment provided to the child after the three-month period
NHS England can refuse treatment if the estimated cost is not paid up front unless a doctor states it is urgent life saving treatment, but even if it is urgent, you are still billed at 150% of the national NHS cost.

The application that I think you will end up making is for "Leave Outside The Rules".
But again, keep in mind that I am not a lawyer and given your very unusual situation, you may want to discuss this with a lawyer or with a Citizens Advice Bureau at the very least. Show them this thread so that they have an idea of what we have discussed here.
It doesn't appear to be that unusual: I've seen threads on other forums over the last year with this too, from non-EEA citizens and from EEA citizens. The answer was always given that only EEA citizens who obtained their EUSS status based on their own residence in the UK before 1 Januuary 2021, can sponsor using the UK's EUSS. And that people who got the UK's EUSS status as joining family members; regardless of whether they have EEA citizenship or not; are not a "relevant sponsor" to use the EUSS.secret.simon wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 7:56 am

That is the same visa that I had advised earlier, before CR001 corrected me.asmehdi wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 8:54 pmThank you for your reply.
You can apply to remain in the UK as the family member, partner or child of a:
person with pre-settled status under the EUSS in the UK
As someone advise me this https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... 1679323402
In this requirement says even with pre settled would this application correct?

If neither FLR(FP) nor FLR(HRO) applies, then try FLR(IR)?secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 4:35 pm
