Hi Guys, I have found this website very helpful so I decided to share my Permanent Residence application story. I come from EU country. I have been living in the UK for 9 years. I filled up the application, sent all the documents for the last 6 years ( I thought I would show more evidence than 5 ye...

EEA national. Second application. This time I sent of lot of explanatory papers, along with 1kg of documents. Sent: 15/09/2016 Received: 16/09/2016 Payment taken: ? Confirmation Email: ? DCPR: ? At the same time I'm waiting for the appeal I lodged on 22/08. Let's see which one get resolved first :ro...

Hello everyone! I have a few questions about the appeal process. So my EEA PR was refused last month. I sent a reconsideration letter. After 2 weeks I then submitted an appeal. I later found out I should've waited for the caseworker to reply but it's too late now :( Or is it? 1. Can I withdraw my ap...

The concept of Job seeker in the Treaty, as interpreted by the CJEU, does not incorporate a person who is outside the host state. By showing them letter that you were seeking job, when outside UK, you gave them the impression that you were in the UK. Notwithstanding your mistake, they seem to be wr...

HO now plays hardball in area of jobseekers. What was your status before going abroad? Thanks for your reply! I was a student! I didn't have CSI, because I am one of the "special" cases where I had a yellow registration certificate (issued as student) before 20.06.2011. They still refused...

Or is there nothing to worry about? My (EEA DCPR) application has been refused, either because they didn't pay attention to what I said in the application form or because I confused them. Basically for a number of months after graduation I was abroad. My absence was not long enough to break the resi...

As per the title. Do I simply send a letter to the address where I sent the application? Does it have to include extra documentation? Do I have to resend the original documents?

What should my letter contain? Do I simply point out the mistakes in the initial evaluation?

Thanks

Update: my application has been refused. Dated: 28/7 Received: 1/8 Refusal is a combination of lack of CSI (which is wrong, since my yellow registration certificate was issued before 20/06/2011) and a misunderstanding in my timeline. I will ask for reconsideration and reapply if it comes back negati...

Hello I'm struggling to find the legal requirement that HO approves or refuses an application within 6 months of them receiving the application. I am a single EEA applicant. No family members, nothing else. Looking at the Immigration EEA Regulations 2006, article 18, paragraph 1, all it says is &quo...

The CSI requirement started being enforced after 20/06/2011. (And now I recall there were plenty of discussions / news about it :P ) However you graduated before that and you had a Yellow Registration Certificate anyway so I don't think you'll have issues. If you want to stay on the safe side, you c...

Can you not contact your embassy in London? Many nations can release an emergency identity document if for some reason you don't have an ID / passport available.

Hello everyone, I have a simple question: what if the HO lost some of our documents while processing a PR application? Since we are required to submit originals I was wondering whether anyone has got all their docs back or some have gone missing... Documents such as payslips would be hard to reissu...

Hello I applied for a DCPR as per signature and I requested back a document over 3 months ago, but I still haven't received it. I requested it twice. After 10 working days I used the "No document received" form on their website. I contacted them by email. I called them numerous times. I lo...

Congrats treski! Hi everyone, Very sorry to butt in, but I'm getting a bit nervous about my application. I'm an EU citizen and here is my timeline: Application sent: 10/3/2016 Money taken: 14/3/2016 Confirmation e-mail received: 06/4/2016 And I've heard nothing since, so I am a bit worried that most...

RODRequestsECT@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk is the email address But honestly they are just as useless as the call centre staff :x Thank you Salmintin , Have they responded to any of your emails? No. It's been two weeks already. Or maybe more? I lost track to be honest :roll: I also sent an email to compl...

nothing! absolutely desperate by now day 103... and counting feeling deflated have not even requested my passport back, did think it could be an excuse for delays based on what I have seen lately, i am now considering the possibility that requesting the documents or passport speeds the process up.....

Congrats! :) To everyone else waiting for passports / documents: if you urgently need them, go speak with your embassy and maybe they'll issue emergency travel documents for you. DO NOT rely on UKVI. It's been almost 3 months since I requested one of my documents back. I sent numerous requests. I no...

Today I received my SAR request. I would like to thank you for your help. If you have previously done a DCPR request I can confirm it contains the date you acquired the PR status under section Entitlement. In my case: came in UK Jan 2010 started to work Feb 2010 In my SAR it says I acquired PR stat...

Now that you opened a new topic, can you please provide more evidence? The timelines? How long did the whole procedure take? Why did they refuse it initially? Etc etc.
