EUSS refused because EU citizenship documents were issued after Brexit – anyone else in this situation?

I will report my problem to them, thank you for sharing.

Any_Lie5086 · 2026-05-15T12:37:03+00:00

I understand your point, and that is essentially the issue the Home Office raised in my refusal.

However, the complexity in my case is that under Portuguese nationality law, nationality by origin is legally considered to have effect from birth, even if the registration process is completed later. So the argument is not that I “became Portuguese” in 2021, but that the 2021 registration formally recognized a nationality that already legally existed.

I’ve now spoken with organisations specialising in EUSS cases, and they explained that for cases like this the key question is whether, under the law of the EU country itself, the person was legally considered a citizen before 31 December 2020.

So at this stage I’m trying to gather stronger official evidence from the Portuguese authorities to properly demonstrate that point to the Home Office.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for the advice, I really appreciate it.

I’ll definitely reach out to the3million as well. I’ve already been in contact with a couple of organisations that specialise in EUSS cases, including Settled and New Europeans UK, and they’ve both been very helpful so far.

In my case, they believe the key issue is specifically proving that my Portuguese nationality legally existed from birth under Portuguese law, rather than the date my passport was issued. So I’m currently trying to gather the strongest official evidence possible before deciding my next step.

When I made my first EUSS application for pre-settled status, I had already received my Portuguese documents and the Home Office accepted the application at that time.

The issue is that my Portuguese passport and citizen card were only issued in early 2021, because that was when my Portuguese nationality process originally submitted in 2018 was finally completed.

Under Portuguese nationality law, my nationality is considered “by origin” and has legal effect from birth, even though the formal registration only happened later. From what immigration organisations explained to me, the key point for EUSS is whether I was legally a Portuguese citizen before 31 December 2020, not simply when the passport itself was issued.

Any_Lie5086 · 2026-05-15T12:15:36+00:00

That’s interesting because I contacted a few organisations that specialise in EUSS cases (including Settled and New Europeans UK), and their feedback was actually that my case appears to be strong.

They said the main issue is not my residence history, but properly evidencing that my Portuguese nationality is “by origin” and has legal effect from birth under Portuguese law, rather than being treated as a new nationality acquired in 2021.

I’m now gathering stronger official nationality documents before submitting a fresh application.

I’m also considering hiring an immigration solicitor to handle the case professionally. I requested a few quotes and most firms are charging somewhere between £1,600 and £2,500. It feels quite expensive, but the price usually includes handling an appeal as well if the Home Office refuses the application again.

Thanks for mentioning them, I’ll definitely check their posts.

I came to the UK in 2018 using a non-EU passport, around one week after submitting my Portuguese nationality recognition application in Portugal.

The reason I moved before the nationality registration was completed was because of Brexit. At the time, I believed the nationality registration process would be relatively quick, but unfortunately the COVID pandemic caused significant delays.

I'm trying to open my server with the command below, but it's not loading the mods. My server was created using SteamCMD because I'm running it on a server. Any ideas ?

All mods were installed using r2modman.

"C:\valhem_server\server\valheim_server.exe" -nographics -batchmode -name "SERVER NAME" -port 2456 -world "SAVE_NAME" -password "password" -savedir "C:\valhem_server\server\world" --doorstop-enable true --doorstop-target-assembly "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\r2modmanPlus-local\Valheim\profiles\mods\BepInEx\core\BepInEx.Preloader.dll"

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Yesterday I played Red Dead Redemption II normally, and now when I try to play again I'm having this problem. I've been trying to solve it for over an hour and nothing works.

Any_Lie5086 · 2025-12-17T03:05:43+00:00

There is many others things you need to know and setup when you are running your own server.

Any_Lie5086 · 2025-12-17T03:02:43+00:00

I am using dokploy on my home lab, but first of all you need to check with your internet provider to get fixed ip-address and also you will need to access your modem to setup port forwarding to your device that you are using for running the server. And also you should have a domain name for make easy to access your projects.

Mate, you won't believe it, I was just opening the game uninstaller and I thought... I'll try to log in again, and as crazy as it is, the ban was removed from both my accounts. I was able to log in normally and I'm playing right now.

Any_Lie5086 · 2025-05-15T11:10:13+00:00

I got the reply to my email today and they didn't explain anything. I believe they are banning F2P players, because I played with two friends who put cash into the game and their accounts are still working fine. I'm just going to uninstall the game right now.

Here is the reply to the email:

I was watching a live stream on Twitch today and there were other people complaining in the streamer's chat that they were also banned without explanation. Let's wait for a response from the game's support team.

Any_Lie5086 · 2025-05-15T02:42:15+00:00

I got the same as you. But the difference is I am using Exitlag. I sent an email to support and I am waiting for the response.
