You definitely don't need to prove your 5 year history again if you already have PR. You do need to prove your residence for the last year, though.WebMonkey wrote:Thank you for the prompt response.

I must have misunderstood the application form and comments I have read here on the forum. People mentioned that you did not need to prove the 5 year history again if you have the Permanent Residence document but I can provide them again with all my passports I have had.
You don't need to provide the 5 years treaty rights if you have PR. You do need to provide proof of residence (as PR requirements and naturalisation residence requirements are different). Your passport (if cover the period) should normally be enough. Did NCS copy the passport? I don't understand why they require evidence from June if you applied in September.WebMonkey wrote:Thank you for the prompt response. Yes, I have passed the course as a Second Language.

Treaty rights - no (if hold PR for more than 1 year). Residence - yes for the full 5 years. Not just last one.Hubba wrote: You definitely don't need to prove your 5 year history again if you already have PR. You do need to prove your residence for the last year, though.

A week ago, I received a letter from the Home Office telling me that my English qualification is no longer accepted for applications made after 1 August 2014. I submitted my application on the 22nd of September with an NCS office who double checked everything and it was fine then. Honestly, I was not aware that things had changed as I was refering to the AN Form Guide which is still today, listed on their website and they still mention the so called not application qualification. I had responded to their letter with my original certificate, a print out of the AN Guide and the link that I found the guide on their website with a detailed letter explaining it.
So, today I receive my documents back with a nice refusal letter and the NR Form - Reconsideration of the decision to refuse an application for British Citizenship. It really angers me that they could not have bothered sending a quick email saying, we get your point but the fact still stands that we need this qualification by this date, not a straight out refusal.
My plan now is to go and get this language qualification even though I can speak, read and write English, was taught English from when I was 7, come from an English speaking country but the UKBA does not recognize it as one. Now would that qualification with this NR form suffice to reconsider their decision or am I barking up the wrong tree here and have to cough up another £900ish pounds?
