Application date: 17 January 2020
COA: 17 January 2020
Decision: 21 January 2020 (Settled status)

HMRC check found my five years' worth of records and I didn't need to upload anything, decision came back in two working days.

Just wanted to post an update that my full settled status application was successful for anyone searching a similar situation in future. The HO didn't come back seeking any more documents. Timeline was quick too - two working days. 16/01 - Certificate of Application 21/01 - Successful Indefinite Lea...

Came on Tier2 ICT in 2014, received EU passport in 2018 only based on grandfather's citizenship. Applied for settlement scheme in 2019 stating that I was EEA citizen since birth and received settled status this week. Ah, fantastic! That's great to hear. I'm relatively relaxed as worst case it would...

Hi, for background I posted this thread years ago even before the Brexit vote: https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea-pr-qualifying-period-initially-held-tier-5-flr-m-t199447.html Essentially I inherited Hungarian citizenship at birth through my grandfather/father. I applied fo...

Hi I'm planning on submitting an EEA (QP) application in February through the EPR service (I haven't reached five years for PR yet). I've been working full-time for the same large UK financial institution since November 2013. I know the guidance says provide either an employer declaration or letter,...

I did this exact same thing. Arrived in the UK in on a Tier 5 YMV and then got my Hungarian passport (through grandfather/father). No issues, once you have the EU passport it basically negates the YMV.

There's 28 now, so hopefully more LA's will come on stream in the next few weeks. You can also use the Belfast and Glasgow premium service centres too. Good timing, I was going to send off my EEA QP but was really reluctant to be without my passport for an extended period. Wonder what the fee is lik...

Secret.simon - any thoughts on the situation where someone was in the UK as an EEA national by birth/descent ( not naturalisation) but was still waiting on issuance of their EEA passport, so had to apply for a Tier 5 visa in their other non-EEA passport to show to employers. I.e. I'm a Hungarian cit...

No we're not British citizens (the husband in question was her second, not our father). No, unfortunately it seems all her grandparents were born in NZ. Right - I think we will struggle to prove a period of dependency of her on us, it has generally been the other way round! As she is a visa-free nat...

Hi I have a fairly good inkling the answer to this will be negative, but I thought I'd just run this by the forum. My sister and I are dual EEA / NZ citizens. I moved to the UK in 2013 and my sister 2014. Our mother only holds NZ citizenship. She is 61 and widowed. She is employed full time in NZ an...

Thanks CR001.

Thanks for the link. It does seem to suggest applying for a Transfer of Conditions to your BRP if you have a change in nationality. This has a fee of £183 though so I'm a little reluctant to pay that when as an EEA citizen I shouldn't have to hold a valid BRP - or at least only pay £65 for a registr...

Hi I held a Tier 5 YMV from October 2013 to September 2015, then was granted FLR(M) in October 2015 (valid until 2018). I inherited EEA (Hungarian) citizenship at birth but was only finally able to actually obtain my Hungarian birth & citizenship certificates in November 2015, then a passport in...

Thanks for the reply - apologies the delay on my part! Unfortunately the ID card doesn't have any pre-2015 dates on it. Yes I can definitely provide copies of mine and my father's NZ birth certificates (he never actually went through t'he process of registering his own Hungarian citizenship). I don'...

I know this is a bit cheeky but I thought I'd bump this back up just in case anyone didn't see this the first time round and has any thoughts.

Thanks for the reply - apologies for my late response! I have a 'lakcímkártya' or residential address card, but unfortunately not a 'national ID' photo card. The wording 'The passport or ID card must show the applicant has been an EEA national for the whole of the 5 continuous years' is a bit concer...

Hi I'm a Hungarian citizen by way of my grandfather, and therefore my father being Hungarian. My understanding is that under Hungary's jus sanguinis nationality law, this was passed on to me through birth and is definitely not a case of naturalisation or 'granting' of citizenship. So I've always bee...

FLR(M) (Unmarried Partner) application sent to HO: 08/09/15 Application received and signed for: 09/09/15 Application acknowledgement and biometric letter: 11/09/15 Biometrics enrolled at PO: 29/09/15 (yes, bit of a delay on my part) BRP received through DX Courier: 02/11/15 Approval letter/passport...

Was the BRP

I applied for FLR (M) on September 10 and submitted biometrics on 28 September. Today I received a missed DX delivery card. Previous posts seem to indicate that this will contain my BRP, as the HO use Royal Mail for approval/refusal letters, passports etc. Is this true? I won't be home for redeliver...

Hi I'll be applying for FLR(M) in early September, and have been working for the same employer since November 2013 earning over 18,600 gbp. I work for a very large organisation and I did ask for a reference letter to meet the requirements of Appendix FM-SE. However as the business is so large, all r...

Thanks CR001. I think you're right, either way the two years will have been passed by the time it's properly assessed by a caseworker.

Hi I'm from NZ and currently on a Tier 5 YMV that expires on 10 September 2015. I arrived on 01 October 2013 and have been living with my British partner from the day I arrived - we are not married. As our two years living together would be reached on 01 October 2015, I'm 20 days short from when my ...
