Mr Bertinet was only granted pre-settled status, which means he will need to apply again for the right to remain in five years.
Those granted settled status can stay in the UK as long as they like and can apply for British citizenship if eligible - but those in Mr Bertinet's and Mr Wawrzyniak's positions will need to apply again.
"To prove that I've been here for 31 years - goodness me, they can track everything I've done for 31 years. I shouldn't have to prove that," he said. A report found"large numbers" of EU nationals living in the UK could be left in limbo or ruled to be in the country illegally. Mr Wawrzyniak, who has cooked for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, told his 17,000 Twitter followers:"Have lived in the UK for 15 years."Always employed, without gaps, now running own restaurant. Paid thousands of pounds in taxes."
She said her application had been complicated by being self-employed during last year, despite providing evidence.
