http://www.housing-rights.info/EEA-children-in-education.php Also, have a look at the latest version of AN Booklet. It includes the following paragraphs: If you are a national of a country which is a member state of the EEA or Switzerland, or the family member of such a person, you will automaticall...

I am now required to apply for permanent residency first, wait one year after receiving the permanent residence certificate, and then apply for British citizenship. Basically the earliest I am able to officially apply for British citizenship will be may 2017 You have almost certainly acquired perma...

You must obtain a document certifying permanent residence before applying for naturalisation now. As said above the application costs £65 and it can take up to 6 months so do it ASAP. If you apply for naturalisation and do not include this document your application will fail and you'll lose your £10...

The day after they received the application. The UK government is very efficient when it comes to them getting paid

Date application sent: 07/12/15 (Royal Mail Special Delivery)
Date application received: 09/12/15
Payment taken: 10/12/15
Confirmation email from UKVI: 31/12/15

4 weeks? It took 22 days for me just to get an email confirming that my application had been received

Congratulations

@ANODOS Yes I submitted evidence for 6 years of exercising treaty rights. I did state that I did 11 years of compulsory education in the UK too, and provided proof of attending secondary school from 2000-2005. Unfortunately I didn't know until after I sent the application that this counted towards P...

I think you should look at Form NS:

And the guidance:

Yes your parter shouldn't matter, I think you should have acquired PR in your own right providing you have been self employed for a continuous 5 year period (exercising treaty rights). As the post above says, you need to do sections 5, 9, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Completely ignore the biometric informatio...

I have understood from the forum, that PR is merely a confirmation of your permanent residence and the 12 month cycle will start when its legally issued. For example, my mom, she acquired her permanent residence few years before she actually got her actual PR document and the date on the document w...

The latest AN Booklet says: "(...) unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen, you should normally have held permanent resident status for 12 months before applying for naturalisation. This means that you may need to wait until you have been in the United Kingdom for 6 ...

Fantastic. I did not realise there was a December version of AN Booklet. Those two paragraphs basically confirm that it is indeed the date you acquire PR, rather than the date you acquire the document confirming PR, that matters as far as naturalisation is concerned (which is the way it should be). ...

LilyLalilu wrote:Maybe send them a cover letter clearly pointing out the regs and ask them to check with the EEA team to establish what date you acquired PR if they have any doubts.

This is exactly what I intend to do. Applied for PR doc on 10th December

The glimmer of hope I have at the moment is that none of the Home Office guidance currently says you must have held the PR document for 12 months. I did see one text somewhere saying that the date of issue of the PR document is not necessarily indicative of when PR status was acquired, and checks sh...

The doc certifying PR only contains the issue date, not the date PR was actually acquired hence all the problems since holding such a doc has been made mandatory when applying for the privilige of citizenship. It is a standalone document as they are not allowed to endorse EEA nationals' passports a...

Great news. There were probably a few avenues I could have explored; my mother (British citizen) worked for well over 5 years before her death, and I also spent 11 years in compulsory education here (which apparently counts towards PR clock). However the 5 years employment route was the easiest to g...

Yep, biometric enrolment only required for non-EEA. I submitted my EEA(PR) 2 weeks ago, will let you know when I hear anything.

Hi, I think the form you need is MN1

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-form-mn1

https://www.acro.police.uk/subject_access.aspx

Costs £10.

NOTE:- the data retention guidelines have changed since 17 years ago. I believe there was no set time that forces would keep details of cautions and reprimands, and some were simply deleted when they expired. So yours might not show on there.

MS90 is not a minor offence, it's very serious. While a lot of people generally earn one in their absence (when a simple request for information for a speeding offence etc is not answered and thus escalates), some people purposely play the system and use the MS90 to hide a much more serious offence....

Haven't applied for BC yet, waiting for the confirmation of PR to come through (applied earlier this month). As soon as that's here I can bang in the BC application!

Hi, you do need a document certifying permanent residence in order to apply for naturalisation, this requirement was added in mid November. The form you need to complete is EEA(PR) and it costs £65: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/445508/EEA_PR__07-15.pdf Do...

No I haven't yet. Perhaps you should quote their own guidance to them

That is exactly my plan. I'm only planning for the worst case scenario - if my naturalisation application is rejected. From 2003 Finland has allowed multiple citizenship: A new Finnish Nationality Act permitting dual (and multiple) nationality more broadly than before came into force on June 1, 2003...
