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.

This must be very unsettling for you all Taf. Hopefully it's all just a paper pushing exercise and your wife and sons will get their permanent rights to remain without having to wait too long.
