Thanks for your prompt reply. Would I have to fill the part about the WRS if I applied for the PR via the sponsor route (through my British husband)? Also with the WRS they are some cases of exemption/ not being required to register under the WRS- do you know what they are? And the last one, where c...
Hello, I have just revisited the application for a document certifying permanent residence and the section about the WRS is still present despite the fact that it has been over 5 years for the transitional period to be finished (for the A8 nationals). The latest version of the document from the gov....
Sadly being settled in the legalistic immigration sense does not just mean "settled down". Property ownership is not a factor in naturalisation. There is a need to show "good character" and employment history is now taken into consideration as one indicator of good/legal behaviou...

Hello, Work (& WRS) is not required for the marriage route to UK citizenship per se. But you need to be settled in UK &, for an EEA national, that means PR. Arriving in Oct 2006 your 5 years PR could have been established by Oct 2011 at the earliest. As a student there was no need to regist...
Hello, I was wondering if someone may be able to advice me on the route I should take for obtaining British passport. I am a Polish passport holder (which makes me an A8 national). I have came to UK in October 2006 to study for my PhD (I had a 3.5 years industrial case scholarship funding) and I hav...
