Thank you AdInfernos! It is a very good advice from you, I will take it on board. I have not received the SAR back yet. Will post here when I receive it. Happy new year to you. Congratulations! I'm glad that you obtained your PR document. However, if you want to pursue citizenship I would advise tha...

Taking the opportunity to thank you everyone that helped me one way and another. This forum is great, thanks to that I could get my achievement. Now I will be looking for my British citizenship right away. Good luck to everyone and Merry Christmas.

I have not yet receive the SAR back, but surprisingly I have been granted my Permanente Residency! The decision was a bit faster than yours, it took 40 days from the day I sent til decision date. You cant imagine how happy I am!!!! Still waiting for the SAR to arrive, hopefully it will be here soon....

EEA National Application sent Online on 08/11/17 Payment taken: 08/11/2017 Supporting documentation sent : 08/11/17 Confirmation email: 09/11/17 Documents received: 22/12/17 PR cards received: 22/12/17 That is just amazing! Best Christmas present ever! Second time application, first time it was refu...

Unfortunately, the application status checker is currently unavailable and that was the only tool people were using to track application. For me, it never worked though.

I dont think they will answer you query over the phone or email. The time frame for the HO to decide about an application is 6 months. If you send the application more than 6 months ago, use this link to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk.

It is a long wait, but I am happy that you are getting there. Happy days for you. :D :D :D Still waiting for the SAR to arrive, hopefully it will be here soon. I will follow your advice and send the letter to HO if there is anything for me to add. I bet you were very pleased with the speed that they...

I have now received the reply to my complaint from the Border force. Please see below. Comments and suggestions are welcome. "Thank you for your email regarding your experiences at the UK border. This correspondence has been passed to me as the officer responsible for handling your complaint. B...

Still waiting for the SAR to arrive, hopefully it will be here soon. I will follow your advice and send the letter to HO if there is anything for me to add. I bet you were very pleased with the speed that they dealt with your case, congratulations. Advice greatly appreciated! :D However I have alrea...

I today sent a complaining to the Border Force for being stopped at Immigration Control. I used the Resolver online tool, it is a great system and very easy to use. If anyone would like to try it for help with complaints, the link is: https://www.resolver.co.uk/ As soon as I get the SAR and see what...

@LJM17 good luck with your application and hope you get it sort it out soon. Thank you Zapzap. I decided to reapply for PR as I believe the period of my self-employment should arguably be considered genuine and effective as I have worked an average of over 10 hours a week and the work was both long...

Hi Sonrock What I can see from the people here that have more experience than us newbies, they already gave you the answer for your queries. From what I could understand about what had being replied to you is that you do not have 10 years of residence continuous, therefore you would not stand a chan...

You can also complain to a) the Border Force b) the UKV&I c) the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration d) Your MP Tks for advice. It doesn't seem fair the humiliation they are submitting us after the referendum on Brexit. I am not very good at writing a complaint and don't know...

Thank you AdInfernos. I am now filing the request form and will post the outcome once I receive the replay as this could help others facing the same situation.

In the mean time, if anyone have any more suggestion or comments, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jayjay2017, that is a valid idea. Do you think I could ask for the records right away or I would have to wait for some time as the notes can be very recent?

Last year I applied for PR and was refused. The reason given was that my self employment earnings was below the minimum earnings threshold measure. Then I applied for the EEA residence card as I have been employed full time since 2015 and was granted at the beginning of this year. In July I returned...

As well as the documents I mentioned above, I have also letters from my clients. I had one main client for 4 years and worked for him every week. As I don't think there is any other documentation I could be sending apart from the ones I already submitted, maybe my best bet would be sending it all ag...

Thank you for replying, Obie. Previously I sent the following documents to support my application: Copy of tax calculation SA302, invoices, bank statement. I did not send accountant letter as I never had one. How can I demonstrate that work was genuine and effective and have a better chance for the ...

I just received my Residence Card and will be applying for PR online. Can I address on my application why do I think that my self employment was genuine and effective? Would those be a strong point: Primary carer of a child under 18, making it difficult to work full time hours. Worked regularly ever...

I applied for PR in June 2016 as European working as self-employed/employed. Got a refusal letter in Nov 2016. My situation is as follow: 2011-2012 Self employed - earned 4.636 year gross income 2012-2013 Self employed - earned 4,989 year gross income 2013-2014 Self employed - earned 5.408 year gros...
