but why would it matter for PR application? only 5years matter which must have already passed before applying. It shouldn't really matter it EUnational is still QP after 5years of TR

I'm contacting SOLVIT tonight,,,,

I applied as an employed person and did not include section 16 at all in my applocation. Was granted PR certificate in 6weeks (a year ago)

All true. Tried many times (by my friends) and successfully (Y) Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt .. ignoring questions re finances, accommodation, etc

we have applied 18/01/2016, still waiting

do you know at least if you have got PR?

It's a pitty, I have PR certificate (I'm EU national) and was hoping this will make things easier for the HO. We have 3 kids together. What are they waiting for?

No news here either. On Monday it's going to be 6 months since we have applied.

yes it is an issue, my friend had hers refused recently for not re-registering with HO

Many good news- happy for all of you who got their PR. I had a feeling we might get ours today too, but not yet.

Congratulations!

My thoughts are with those who are still waiting. We are waiting too.

congratulations Fatima, your late Eid gift arrived (Y)

We are still waiting, applied 17.01

congratulations to all successful applicants!

we are still waiting (applied 17.01).

How do you count 6 months deadline? Is it 6months from money being taken from account? Surely not from issue of COA, right?

I think your bigest concern should be a gap between employment and self employment to be honest

actually my British passport proves my permanent residence here??? So since I have a British passport why should I have to prove i was a qualified person through employment self employed etc? I have dual nationality If you choose EEA route, yuo should ignore your British nationality and everything ...

3 months between employment and self employment is a gap, only 30 days without Treaty Rights is allowed. Not sure if setting up a business can be counted as job-seeking. My guess it cannot. I fear your clock towards husband's PR restarted in December 2014. It means PR will be aquired December 2019.

I enclosed marriage certificate and birth certificates of our children, my PR card dated 2015 June and some payslips showing TR up to November 2015 as it is when or 5th wedding anniversary is (although I understand I do not have to continue TR after I acquire PR). I also enclosed bills/bank statemen...

Hi, I am EEA national and applied for PR in June 2015. I used new form that includes benefits section but simply did not include it. Filled all the other relevant sections but this one. I was exercising TR as employed. Got my PR granted in 6 weeks despite missing section. Now we have applied for PR ...

I did not include Benefits Section with my application, as I was exercising Treaty Rights as a worker and claimed benefits, but I was entitled to do so. I did not mention them in my Personal Statement either. I'm an A8 national. My application was successful It took 5weeks to process.

Hi all, yesterday I received my PR certificate, my nonEU husband is due to apply in November 2015 after our 5th marriage aniversiry. I will continue exercising my Treaty Rights until then and beyond at least until he gets his PR. My question is: since my PR is dated 19/06/2015, do I still need to se...

Good news! PR (certificate) arrived today (dated Jun 19).

Timeline:

Application sent: 18/05/2015
Money taken from account: 22/05/2015
PR arrived: 26/06/2015

COA never received.

hope this will facilitate pr application for my non eu husband, he is due to apply in December.
