When my wife got her visa to accompany me to the UK I thought that was it. But as usual with the UKVI they do not tell you anything. The advice we received at Gatwick that the BRP Biometric Residence Permit was coming was incorrect, and I have only just been told on Reddit what to do.
"I have no idea why the immigration officer would have said she'd get a BRP within 10 days.

We've gone down the Surinder Singh route as well and we worked with an immigration solicitor, so this isn't some off the wall comment. Your wife needs to apply for pre-settled status via the EU settlement scheme. You need to call the EU settlement scheme and request a paper application and then, essentially, reapply with all the info you supplied in your EEA FP.

Our pre-settled status application is still in process and we applied in December. The COA took almost 2 months to receive. It's a slow process."

"I'm not sure you understood me, I entered the UK on the exact same visa. You don't seem to understand what that visa is or what it offers your wife. It confers nothing but leave to enter, your wife will not be receiving a BRP without applying to the EUSS. Her biometrics were only for her EEA FP she will need to do another set for her pre-settled status.

I think you're confusing what the EEA FP was with what it is now because once the EU settlement scheme began the EEA FP fundamentally changed.

Call the EUSS, they'll explain everything: Home Office EU Settlement Scheme Resolution Centre number 0300 123 7379"

The form arrived today.......

This will mean we may have to wait months.........

This EU member isn't happy about FOM

I am seeing signs of a cessation of EU Immigration into the U.K.

This was interesting from the BBC a few days ago. Seems the nation underestimated.

Reminds me of Tony Blair woefully underestimating the amount of EU citizens who would flood into the UK

Well, well, well. A lot of employers are struggling for workers. Amazon are offering golden hellos. And factories are knocking on doors looking for people. The B word has taken its toll. Too late to have been of benefit for me. I now have the financial luxury of drawing several pensions and fulfilling a fairly soft employed role clicking a mouse all day long which is bringing in a few bob. I have had a few greedy employers or their agencies phone me recently looking for workers and I pretty much tell them to eff off and stuff there job. Bliss.

Flood the country with cheap labour wages go down, reduce the flow wages rise

Indeed. Amazing. I predicted it but it is only having an impact now and I thought (erroneously) that it would be sooner. Yeah I know it will probably lead to goods being more expensive but…l

get the sick lame and lazy off their ar**s, remove all social benefits if they are able to work

Brexit seems so long ago

It does but it’s beginning to bite now where employers are concerned. I bet some of those employers voted for Brexit too.

I still see the same amount of Eastern European homeless when I go into London.

Probably least able to afford the fare home?

Easy-jet £70 quid? I saw a documentary on the homeless, one was a polish guy who would rather street-sleep in London than return home to gdansk or wherever, kind of like the westerners who live on the beach in pattaya.

No plans to loosen brexit imposed visa restrictions, hire and train brits businesses told
