Hello,
My story:
EEA national, exercised treaty rights as a postgraduate student from September 2008 to September 2013 and received the official permanent residence (PR) card on December 2013 after applying for the EEA3.
After 1 year of having the blue PR card (December 2014), I applied for a British Citizenship through the NCS. The NCS representative said I needed to provide all the Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (CSI) for the 5 year qualifying period, or alternatively PR payslips if I exercised treaty rights as a worker. I already provided my CSI last year for my PR application. The NCS representative said the PR card is irrelevant and that all documents proving exercise of treaty rights must be submitted again (including the CSI for example as a student).
Is that correct or was the NCS worker perhaps misinformed about the significance and usefulness of the EEA PR card? She did send my application eventually but what are the chances the home office requests again all my documents, which I submitted already last year? Do the departments at the home office work in tandem ?
