Hi, my name is Nicole and I am an immigration adviser at LexLegal.
Today, I am going to speak about Brexit and what will happen after Brexit.
At this stage we thought we will have some information and some more
but it is not the case we are at the beginning of November and Brexit
still didn't happen. So so far,  it was
granted a new extension which would be
till 31st of January 2020. It's actually
more a flex tension so very is still the
possibility that Brexit may happen
earlier but it a little bit unlikely. We will have a general election on the
12 December 2019, and this may determine the outcome of Brexit.
Many people that given the Johnson’s new agreement and
proposal of deal, given the elections and
new extension there is no
possibility of a Brexit without a
the deal. Unfortunately, this is not the
case
Brexit still can happen with a deal or
without. It's more likely now that we
will have a deal al but there is no certainty yet. What will happen next?
All the EU citizens and their family members which are
the UK can apply for the settlement
scheme so they will have the right to work
study and use the NHS after the Brexit. As explained in our previous video
they can be granted either settled or pre settled status; the settled status does
not have any limit in time while the pre
settled it's granted for five years
after which the EU citizen will be able to
switch to the settle status and after a
year with this indefinite leave to
remain (settled status) they will
be able to apply for the citizenship. But
what will happen with those European
citizen that will come to work a after
the Brexit day, so far as we
know it can be 31st of January
2020. All of the citizens coming after
will have to apply for a new system which
is the EU TLR this system will allow
European citizens to stay for 36 months, so it is a limited leave and
it's a quite simple application and
after this they will be able to switch
to a point based system scheme which as
far as we know the government say that
will propose this new point based system
which will be quite similar with the
Australian one and all the EU citizen
wishing to stay in the UK after that
the EUTLR 36 months is expired will have to apply
apply under this new point based system
if they will not qualify then
unfortunately they will have to leave
the United Kingdom. We still don't
have much details about how it will be
this point based system so and as soon
as we'll have some more information of
course we will let you know. This was a
bit of general information but as
recently we have received many enquiries
especially from family members of EU
citizens
they are quite worried about how they can join now their family members. Now they can
still choose to apply with EEA family permit or with the EU Settlement Scheme family
permit.In some circumstances, it is still more convenient to apply via the old EEA family
permit  for example when the EU citizen in the UK did not yet apply
the settlement scheme so they don’t have a status or a reference number
status was not yet granted and as well
in case of extended family members and
children over 21 years old as well as it can be uncles, partners, old term
partners they are all advised if they wish to join the family members to do it via the
old Family permit  and then once in the UK they will have the
possibility to stay here for six months
and once here apply for the settlement
scheme so continue living with their
family members. If on the contrary the
citizen have applied already for the
settlement scheme and they have been
then the family member can apply to join via the EUSS family permit.
which is a little bit I may say easier than the
family permit. You do not need as much evidences.  And once in the UK
again they can switch to the settlement
scheme. All the family members are
like spouses our children children
dependent children over 21 years old can
be also extended family members of EU
citizens which are ready in the UK
before the 31st of January 2020 
will be able to apply for the settlement
scheme and live here with their family
members if a meet requirement. In case
of you citizen who moved to the UK after
the Brexit (31 of January 2020) then their
family members together with the EU citizens they will be able to stay  here until
until at least the end of 2020 without any formal changes but they will
have time only until December 2020 to apply for the new
scheme EU TLR, As far as we know it will be an easy
application which will check your
identity,  criminal record and some
and some other formalities for example the family members will need to give their
biometrics but nothing too difficult.And this application will give you 36 months
it is a limited leave, during which you will be able to stay together and work in the
United Kingdom. At the end of the 36 months you, and your family member
so the EU  citizen and the family member in the UK will have to apply and see if
they qualify with a new point based
system as I mentioned it will be similar
to the Australian point based system. If
they will not qualify under this point
based system 
unfortunately we will have to leave the
country otherwise they will be
considered as illegally staying in the
United Kingdom.
And  in case if you need some more
some help with your applications or you

with details. Also if you like us to
treat any particular argument but it may
be of your interest please let us know
