Not much information was given out ... In NI the government did mention settled status in a leaflet we all got.
But it was only register now, anything to do with more complex scenarios involving Brits and EU partners wasn't covered.
They really didn't do much, not sure for example in all of England even that was posted out.
Hope you can get something sorted :)
JWestland-
Indeed, certainly not publicised as ‘what was previously pretty effortless and free will now cost you £8k over 5 years’.
Not helped by my apparent inability to notice these problems until they hit me in the face (sure there’s people reading thinking i’m a fool for not having just moved them back over here sooner - but life gets/got in the way as ever).
For what it’s worth/full disclosure: until very recently the plan was I’d move over there full-time, but that had its own set of bureaucratic and financial hurdles - bit of a rock/hard place situation.

ha! the more i read the more expensive it gets...
not sure whether they can enter the UK in January based on the 90-day visa-free stay and then apply for a family visa from there, or the nature of the stay being permanent meaning we’d have to apply for it before she travels, which’d then be an extra £500 and three months wait...
... then reading about the £624 a year immigration healthcare surcharge
fucking hell, absolutely kicking myself for not sorting this out sooner :/
