    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A French woman has spoken about how she lost her job in Shropshire and was left “heartbroken” about life in the UK because of a mix-up over the immigration process for EU citizens launched after Brexit.

    Sophie, who is married to a British man, was in the UK for five years before Brexit but went back to France in 2020 for 18 months after a family tragedy.

    On legal advice, she decided to launch a formal appeal through the asylum and immigration tribunal system, a route open to all EU citizens applying for the EUSS.

    “It was only valid for six months so they renewed it again in July and then just at the start of December 2023 they ran the right-to-work check again and it came back that I didn’t have the right to work.”

    A spokesperson for the Home Office said: “More than two years have passed since the main deadline for applying to the EU settlement scheme, which was widely publicised.

    In line with the citizens’ rights agreements, we continue to accept and consider late applications from those with reasonable grounds for their delay in applying.”
