The detail here is that she applied for settled status, which would have granted her leave to remain in (and hence to enter) the country, but it was refused. Pending her appeal she was temporarily granted the right to work in the UK, but she was not temporarily granted the right to remain, it seems - or at least that’s what the Home Office position implies.

It seems like an oversight to me: the application for settled status allows you to leave for up to 6 months at a time and come back and still qualify; if you can still work while you’re appealing a decision, it would make sense to temporarily allow the person into the country.

You’re correct. This Maria person fucked up and is now paying for her mistakes. Like it or not, but we, EU citizens living in the UK, had a few years to sort this out. And everything was digital and pretty much instant.

Who could blame her for assuming the right to work in the UK includes the right to exist in the place where she’s working?

FishFace ,

Anyone, because even the (temporary) right to remain somewhere doesn’t automatically mean you can leave and come back. In the UK if you are granted temporary leave to stay in the country for less than 6 months, leaving for any length of time will mean you’re not allowed back in.

The Brexit brigade will be arguing protection of the British isles citing crime and seeing too many foreigners taking their jobs etc, Sadly many of us Brits are feeling the financial cost of Brexit. Ironically, this makes it easier for people to accept the self same lines that stopping people like Maria will make our lives better. It does not. That remains a mere diversion from the general incompetence of ministers.

    To me it seems like tit for tat by the UK, I remember when Brexit happened a lot of the expats in Spain got into trouble.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A Spanish woman was deported from the UK after returning from a Christmas holiday in Málaga, despite presenting the necessary Brexit paperwork that showed her right to live and work in the country.

    “I went home because my sister had a little baby girl, and literally four days later in Luton airport they took me to the detention room, took my stuff and my phone and told me to wait there," Maria - not her real name - was quoted as saying in The Guardian.

    Maria’s husband flew out to Spain to help his wife after British border officials told her not to attempt to re-enter the UK for at least a month.

    The incident has highlighted some of the problems facing EU citizens whose applications to remain in the UK following the Brexit withdrawal agreement have yet to be finalised.

    Under current rules, Maria must demonstrate her break from the UK wasn’t too long that it could invalidate her rights under the withdrawal agreement.

    The Home Office added that the situation “is not the same as being subject to a deportation order which, whilst valid, would prevent re-entry to the UK.”
