	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office has recently launched a new Update my Details service to make it easy for customers to keep their information up to date. The service currently enables EU Settlement Scheme applicants to change their email address and telephone number through an entirely online process. Name and ID Document updates currently require applicants to post their ID Document to the Home Office as supporting evidence and to protect against identi-ty fraud, however we are continuing to deliver improvements to make these processes as user friendly as possible by making them entirely online.</p><p>The EU Settlement Scheme will make it easy for EU citizens who want to stay in the UK to get the UK immigration status they need. We have conducted two successful private test phases and have recently commenced the wider public roll-out to all resident EU citizens with a valid passport. This is still a test phase, which we are conducting so that we can continue to develop and improve the system before it fully launches on 30 March, and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part so far.</p><p>Applicants who have been granted Settled or Pre-Settled status can view and share their status via the online Status service using the ID Document Num-ber that they used in their application, alongside some user authentication. Users are encouraged to notify the Home Office when they acquire a new ID Document which will then enable them to view and share their online status using the new document. Alternatively, applicants can continue to access their status using their original ID Document.</p><p>EU nationals can continue to evidence their right to live and work in the UK using their passport or identity card until 31 December 2020.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/03/2019 16:58:34 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to developing a future borders and immigra-tion system that will cater for all sectors of the UK, including for those who make a very valuable contribution to our NHS.</p><p>On 19 December, we published an immigration White Paper on the UK’s future skills-based immigration system, intended to provide for a single sys-tem applicable to both EU and non-EU nationals, to be implemented after 2021. In this, we have proposed a new skilled worker route, which will not be capped, removed the requirement for employers to undertake a Resi-dent Labour Market Test for high skilled roles and committed to providing a simpler and more streamlined sponsorship system.</p><p>As we have been clear, the White Paper provides the basis for a national conversation. We are launching an extensive 12-month programme of engagement with UK-wide businesses and organisations on key proposals contained in the White Paper before making final policy decisions on these issues.</p><p>In the meantime, we have been clear that we want all EU nationals, including those working in the NHS, to stay in the UK after we leave. And for those making an important contribution from outside of the EU, we have implemented a number of preferential provisions within the current system specifically for nurses. This includes a change we made last July to exempt all non-EEA overseas nurses and all doctors needed in the UK from the Tier 2 annual cap, allowing them to be recruited into critical roles in the NHS without a restriction on their numbers.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 14/02/2019 17:12:34 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
