NEW GUIDANCE ON CURTAILMENT OF PRE- SETTLED STATUS EVEN AFTER AUTOMATIC EXTENSION
As per new guidance of 8th April 2026, the Home Office will begin conducting reviews to establish continued right to status, even when people have been given an automatic extension beyond the period of their original grant.
Where it appears that the eligibility requirements are no longer met – perhaps through having had too many absences from the UK- there will be a curtailment of status if such curtailment is regarded as being “ proportionate”.
Factors such as age, health and strength of UK ties will be taken into account and people will be given a “ minded to curtail notification” to which they should respond within 21 days.
