LONDON, April 3 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The British Government is warning of delays to the EU settlement scheme because of the coronavirus outbreak.
More than 3 million people have already been granted the right to live and work in the UK after June 2021, but an estimated 600,000 have not yet registered.
In a blog posted on its website, the Home Office says new applications will “take longer than usual” to process during what it describes as a “challenging time”.
Telephone calls will not be answered, it will no longer be possible to submit paperwork by post and centres where ID documents can be scanned have been temporarily closed, the department says.
