Hello, my husband (Brazilian) and I (German) applied for PR (via EEA3/4) in January this year. After 10 days all our documents etc were sent back to us requesting proof of my husband's existence in this country during the first month of the qualifying period We sent this and then received the CoA in...

Hello Mary1, are you sure that I can ask for our passports to be sent back without thi prejudicating our application? They have been with the Home Office for 6 months on Thursday and we would really love to travel to my husband's home country with our now 6 month old daughter but cannot because my h...

Thanks, Lilly, that's really helpful. I will add lots of official stuff which proves he has been here continuously, no problem. Can't believe though they let you wait for such a long time - scary!! He wouldn''t really be able to be without his passprt for such a long time... I wish you the best of l...

Hmm, you are right this is not mentioned and I wouldn't have sent this sort of proof for my husband (apart from marriage certificate). What do they want? Shared bank statements, bills, mortgage statement etc? He has worked as well but not continuously for the whole 5 years and has had a lot of diffe...

I am the EEA national. While I have all supporting evidence for th...

Many thanks, Plum70, that certainly makes sense and is good news! I didn't know that we can already register our daughter as a British citizen as soon as we have permanent residence. Could you tell me how we need to proceed in order to do that? Also I have started sorting my papers and while I have ...

Fantastic - thanks so much for the quick responses!! Another question: do we have to wait exactly until the date we have been here for 5 years (in two weeks time) or can we already apply now? The reason why we are rushing is that I am pregnant and our daughter is due to be born on 31/01/2010 and we ...

Dear All, I hope some of you can help us with our query regarding permanent residence and naturalisation for a non EEA family member. I have read all other posts but couldnd't find a clear answer to my question re: difference ILR and permanent residence in relation to naturalisation so hope you are ...
