Re: Refused

I did tell the lady at NCS that I was hesitant as to whether to put my automatically acquired PR date or the one on the card, she told me "don't worry, I know what I'm doing" and put the date on my PR card, I mean after all it's her job right, so why wouldn't I trust them, the only reason...

Re: Refused

You made a mistake by putting in the "Date Permanent Residence Issued". (NCS should not have allowed this) It is your job to prove your eligibility for British Citizenship. HO decision is correct, they simply checked that date and the result was obvious - 12 months have not passed yet. Yo...

Re: Refused

No, I did not fill in the date acquired (Dec 2014) which is when I received my PR, anywhere on the application form. I just put a tick next to '• A document certifying permanent residence or a permanent residence card issued by UKVI ' in the supporting documents section at the end of the applicatio...

Re: Refused

I can't actually believe what I heard. How can you not look at documents provided to you? Especially when you are paying a fair amount of money, this is quite negligent on their part. :evil: I hope all is well and someone competent looks over the documentation provided with form NR because this is ...

Hi thank you so much for replying and giving a very insightful answer. I will write a letter print it off and submit it for reconsideration with the form NR.

Hi all, So today I received a letter from the Home Office saying my application was refused because I haven't been a Permanent Resident for 12 months.

Re: British citizenship (EEA national) - with or without PR?

It really doesn't matter as long as you have sufficient proof that you have been here the required amount of time. PR Cards in citizenship applications are just there to make things easier for the caseworker so they don't have to go through pages and pages of P60's, letters, etc. As once you have PR...

Re: Applying for naturalisation and planned long trips

You can't get special treatment just because you're going on a holiday. It doesn't work like that, even how straightforward the case is. Citizenship is not a right but a privilege, and you have to jump through every hoop that HO presents you with. Of course you can always include a covering letter a...

Re: Citizenship: under 18 and Some Questions.

I think you are making your case too complicated for yourself. I'd say wait until you are 18 and considered a fully fledged adult and then do a Life in the UK test + take an English exam at B1 and then apply through naturalisation. Get a PR card for the sake of it. Then submit your parents' P60's fo...
