answer text <p>We are currently working hard on a number of enhancements to the EU Settlement Scheme including the functionality to support individuals who currently hold pre-settled status to apply for settled status once they become eligible. The process we are developing will allow applicants to apply either through the app or the website. We are working on this as a matter of absolute priority and expect this feature to go live in the next six weeks once we have thoroughly tested the technical functionality.</p><p>In the meantime, the rights and status of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens living in the UK will remain the same until 30 June 2021, if the UK leaves the EU with a deal. Those who have been granted pre-settled status can continue to demonstrate their right to reside at any time. Status is linked to the passport or biometric residence card that was used to apply to the scheme and online status can be viewed using the online service at <a href="https://view-and-prove-your-rights.homeoffice.gov.uk" target="_blank">https://view-and-prove-your-rights.homeoffice.gov.uk</a></p>
