I am sure this question has probably been asked numerous times, but I would be grateful if people could share their experience. Has anyone successfully applied for a first adult British passport when they no longer had their previous, expired passports? I have lost the passport I entered the UK with...
I have not been able to get any sort of response from Essex Council, they wouldn't even tell me if they are resuming ceremonies. They just said I have to wait until I get an invitation in the post.
Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I received my decision today and my application was successful! I applied before the guidance changed and I have not received any emails from the caseworker asking me to provide CSI (in my case this would have been needed for about 6 months out of the 5 yea...

[/quote] Ok, I understand. I just wanted to know why he had a rather positive attitude about it? From reading various posts everywhere which I understand are currently rather based on opinions and speculations and spread some kind of panic and fear he actually stands out which I like and agree with....
This link might be helpful to some on here. Read from Page38. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/867466/eea-qualified-persons-v7.0ext.pdf This is helpful, thank you! I wonder if caseworkers will be using this document to establish if the ...
Unfortunately, apart from the newly updated naturalisation guidance which allows for discretion to be exercised, there is nothing to confirm or deny whether CSI will impact the 10y period regarding the GCR. This article appears to confirm my view, as far as I can tell, and disambiguates well betwee...
Yes, I do understand that. I guess my comment was more for anyone who has already applied for naturalisation a while back and are waiting for a response. That response could very well be an email from the caseworker asking for CSI. I am only saying that I will use the fact that I was given a regist...

Something that may be helpful to some people are the guidance notes here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/864756/Form-EEA-PR-guidance-notes-v5.pdf There is this caveat that has been successfully used by Romanian and Bulgarian citizens,...
I don't know where to start, I woke up this morning with the news on CSI policy change and felt hopeless about the situation. I just now received email from caseworker confirming my citizenship application has been APPROVED :D I thought this might comfort few people who are also in similar situatio...

So what happened if you can't provide CSI? they cancel your settled status or they close the way to BC? I do not think so. They definitely do not cancel settled status. If you cannot provide CSI, the caseworker is advised to decide if they think they should apply discretion in this case. So the opt...
Just double checking this is a general discussion as more members replied to this one and to the same topic below? If not apologise and please delete my post. In fact that’s a topic suddenly very important to quite a few applicants and not an invidual issue I assume? I will post my individual quest...
This is exactly what I have been worrying about for the last 6 months. I applied in December 2019 and there was no guidance regarding CSI and Settled Status back then. I ended up doing so much research regarding this issue but back then the Home Office had no guidance on how CSI will work for Settle...
Hello everyone, I have had an email today that my application has been allocated to a caseworker for consideration. For those of you who have had similar emails, how long have you had to wait before a decision was made? It is not clear to me if the external checks are done before the application is ...
Thanks both for your replies! I guess it is wait and see for now. Having read some more guidance in the EEA routes on CSI I think in my particular case I would have been exempt from the CSI requirement while a student due to the fact that I was issued with a registration certificate from what was ba...
After reading too many topics on here, I am freaking out and I am starting to think that my application could be refused on the basis of the good character requirement. I am an EU citizen and between 2010 and 2014 I was a student without CSI (comprehensive sickness insurance). Like others before me ...
Does settled status retrospectively change whether one was 'in breach of the immigration laws' a year before? The phrase 'in breach of the immigration laws' is defined in the BNA 1981 - being 'in breach of the immigration laws' does not imply that there is any law that one was in breach of. In the ...
From my experience doing my own application and reading a lot of the posts here, it doesn't seem like you need actual proof, but rather just list all your trips in the last 5 years in that part of the application. I am an EU citizen and my passport doesn't get stamped either, so I went through all m...
Thank you very much for your reply alterhase58. I know I am overthinking the process and the waiting processing times make it hard. To answer your question, yes I provided the required evidence for the last 5 years. These were in the form of P60s for each tax year from 2014/15 until now and in some ...
Dear all, I am writing this post mostly due to the anxiety I have been feeling while waiting for a decision to be made on my application. While waiting I have to admit that I have been overthinking every step of my application and trying to find out if I have in any way misunderstood the process. To...
