EU Rights authority calls on European citizens to share experiences of EUSS

The Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens’ Rights Agreements (IMA) has launched a call for evidence from EU citizens to share their experiences of the EU settlement scheme as part of an ongoing pre-inquiry investigation into the scheme.

‘... the IMA has identified a number of issues associated with the scheme via complaints received and wider intelligence including;

- the application process;
- length of time taken to process applications;
- correcting details after making applications;
- contacting the relevant departments or complaining about the process; and
- access to using the digital route.

The IMA is in regular dialogue with the Home Office about these issues and has now launched its first call for evidence in order to gain a broader understanding of the EUSS through the ‘lived experiences’ of citizens who are familiar with the application process…

EU Citizens can share their experiences via an online survey which will close on 18 June 2021.’
