A letter from the Home Office arrived this morning asking the missus if she wants to stay in the UK !!!

She applied to stay as we arrived in the UK from our French wedding in 1986, and she received a letter granting "Permanent Right To Remain". But apparently that is no longer valid?

So we've done the application online, and now have to send her French ID card to them within 30 days (last day for application is the mid-June for all EU citizens in the UK).

But her ID has expired on the card, so we’ve had to add the letter from the Consulate that all IDs have been granted 15 years validity due to covid-19.

Luckily I kept the "Permanent Right To Remain" letter, so have a copy for them.

After she is allowed to stay, we then have to start the process for the twins as it's a grey area!!!!!!

35 minutes on hold to their helpline then cut off. Now it just says "we're busy" and cuts off.
