In any case I'd put your address as the contact but I think you need to be resident here to apply, as you need to show that the sponsor (i.e. you) is exercising treaty rights in the UK and you can't do that yet from Ireland.

But somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

Cheers I managed to get a lightning quick appointment at my embassy (this Saturday... normally it takes ages) so the 2 to 3 weeks it'll take gives me time to pull all documents together. The form asks for activity in the UK since entering, so I will list everything. Do I need to provide evidence no...

You mean my EU National ID card would be ok even if it expires some way into the application process? As as for CSI: I get it but what I mean is: do I need to wait till it's 5 years since registering for the RC, or can I apply now given I have been working since April 2010 and use that? Ah, you mea...

I'm applying for PR. I entered as a student in 2006 and did not have comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI) but have worked since April 2010. How do I fill in the form? I will say I entered in oct 2006 and under what I was doing I will list studying but do I require the evidence from the university ...

RC issues Nov 2011 although I just remembered I have actually been working from 1 April 2010 (regular full-time job). Could I apply before nov? SO before it's 5 years since registering (but more than 5 years after starting full-time work continues though with 3 different employers) Slight Issue is ...

No, insurance can't be backdated. What's that card you mentioned, is it a RC? - issued in/before 2011? RC issues Nov 2011 although I just remembered I have actually been working from 1 April 2010 (regular full-time job). Could I apply before nov? SO before it's 5 years since registering (but more t...

Ref: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/488449/Qualified_Persons_v3.0_ext_clean.pdf - see sections on students, workers & assessing work. Hhm I have some payslips but no contract and it's rather eratic so I guess not. Is there way way of getting CSI retros...

Just wondering if itis possible (and a good idea) for an EU citizen to try and apply for the regular ILR? It looks like the form isn't really designed for that.

I'm just asking as I'm unsure about the status of the EEA PR card

would you still need to mention everything on the form or just the last 5 years? Just because the form asks for date of entry into the UK

Given that it's nov 2011 that will be 5 years in Nov 2016 (Well before the Brexit will actually happen from what it looks like). So I should be ok to apply at that point without CSI? What would i fill in on the form any idea? Fill in your timeline and various activities. Where it asks for dates as ...

It seems only your subsequent years as a worker can be counted.

It's dated Nov2011 though I may have applied by June I can't quite remember.

Due to the Brexit I'm looking to apply for the EEA Permanent Residence Card. I have the registration document which I applied for in 2011 as we read that applying for this together with my wife's spouse of EEA card would speed things up (she now has ILR under the 10 year rule). Looking at the applic...

Her current job wants to extend her contract by 3 months but at this point its uncertain whether there will be funds beyond that. So the question si: how can she remain...
