Thank you very much, I really appreciate you took the time to respond. One last thing, why do people still choose to apply for permanent residency then if it is more costly than settled status? It just doesn’t make sense to me why anyone would still do that today knowing that in January one would ne...

Hi I have been living and working in the UK since 5 years under an EEA family member residence card. My husband had acquired permanent residency in the UK more than 1y ago (EEA national). We also have a baby who is dual British and French national. Today my husband is applying for British citizenshi...

Many thanks! Appreciate your help and time.

Small update please:

Regarding point 2: I will be using the new service to apply for BC for my child. However baby travelling end of Dec, does this impact the application?

If it does, then can I go with the old NCS service and fill a paper form?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi My husband is an EU national who acquired the permanent residency 2 months after the birth of our baby (4 month old) I am applying for BC fir baby using the MN1 online form but have a few questions: 1- Referees: GP / HV / etc declined to act as referees. Can we include a colleague at work stating...

Clever, thanks

Yes, as long as the years I’ve spent in the UK under the cancelled RC count towards the 5 year condition, i.e. I dont have to count from scratch under the new RC. It’s tricky because the months I’ve spent in the UK under the EEA FP visa dont count as it was cancelled when the RC got issued. Just hop...

Well I am not sure but HO asked me if I would like to convert my application (initially a PR application) to extend my RC. So either they would cancel existing RC and provide me with a new 5y one or somehow they would provide an extension to the current one without cancelling it.

Thank you

Thank you very much all! HO asked me if I would like to change my PR application to extend my current RC rather than forfeit the fee, I guess I will do that then (hoping that the cancelled RC would still count towards 5y mark). On a different topic, once husband gets BC, and once I get PR then I bel...

Anyone would know please?

Thanks! It started when I got granted the FP? Or the RC? Also, do you know what would be my status if husband aquires british citizenship? Do I need to apply for a new UK visa? Does it invalidate the RC? So do I go through the settled status route or apply from scratch using the BC route? Last, my e...

Thanks for your reply. I came together with my partner however My employer sponsored me for a tier 5 visa. One year later I went back to the eea country for 2 weeks, applied for a family permit then once in the UK applied for RC (applied given unmarried partner route and sent proof for 2 year relati...

Hi, I have a tricky situation: 2013: moved to the UK with my EEA partner (I am a non EEA extended family member / unmarried partner) 2015: applied and obtained a UK residence card as an extended family member of an EEA partner exercising his treaty rights in the UK since 2013 2017: we got married 20...
