UK Home Office ‘at Breaking Point’ to Resolve Huge Surge in Post-Brexit Settled Status Applications https://sputniknews.com/uk/202106271083251484-uk-home-office-at-breaking-point-to-resolve-huge-surge-in-post-brexit-settled-status-applications/ Earlier this week, UK Immigration Minister Kevin Foster emphasised that the government would “not be extending the deadline” for new post-Brexit residency permits. The UK Home Office is approaching a “breaking point” as it tries to cope with a last-minute surge in applications for post-Brexit settled status from tens of thousands of European Union citizens residing in the UK, The Guardian reported on Saturday. The newspaper added that with the 30 June deadline already in the offing, some applicants remain stuck in online queues, while others unsuccessfully attempt to access advice on the government helpline.
