IMA launches new inquiry to investigate EU Settlement Scheme application delays
Launching the call for evidence the Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens’ Rights Agreements (IMA) says -
The EU Settlement Scheme has received and concluded more than 7 million applications since its creation. We recognise that many of these were processed without issues, but we are aware that other citizens have experienced delays in receiving a decision.
We aim to understand how these delays are having an impact on citizens’ lives. It is therefore really important that we hear from as many people as possible to fully understand any issues and consider what next steps to take.
The IMA’s call for evidence will provide an understanding of the impact of delays, as well as generating narratives that will stem from citizens’ ‘lived experiences.’ Citizens can share their experiences via an online survey which will close on the 16 October 2023.
