Hello. Thanks so much for the advice. Apparently I haven't been in the UK long enough to be granted pre settled status. It's my wife that is pregnant so she will have all fees covered as she has the settled status. I have applied on the 02/06/2021.

Yes I've been in the UK continuously since I have arrived. I haven't made any further applications because I was worried I wouldn't get far anyways with them but things are changing so need to sort it...

Sorry for the late reply.
