raph03 wrote:Hello,
Having recently applied for naturalisation I have just received a letter requesting alternative evidence.
I have originally provided:
- EEA passport
- UK driving licence
- PR issued Jan 2013 (family member of EEA citizen)
- LitUK certificate
- Cambridge FCE certificate
I am now to provide evidence of residence to cover the period from 22/01/10 to 21/05/15 which itself sounds weird as it's only 5 years rather than 6 required from EEA citizens.
Annex attached gives examples of documents required.
How shall I now respond to that request? I can't provide any of required documents as I have been looking after children. One of documents listed is letters from DWP confirming dates of receipt of child benefit - I'm not sure if HO are aware but DWP do not issue such regular statements.
Shall I instead provide them with my spouse's P60s, wage slips etc. duplicating evidence we have already provided applying for PR 2 years ago?
Since when HO does not accept documents issued by themselves?
I'm really worried as they we're very quick to collect their fees but do not seem to follow their own rules.
Please advise - has anyone had any similar experience?
Many thanks,
Raph

I applied naturalisation and submitted same documents as you submitted.
20 Jan 2015 - application sent RM Special Delivery
27 Jan 2015 - HO sent acknowledgment letter
28 Jan 2015 - account debited
03 Feb 2015 - HO sent request for evidence
06 Feb 2015 - evidence request received
Hope that helps.
Yes, you are right. All they want is evidence that you have been physically present in the country since your acquired your PR status. I think you should send whatever document you have to them, if you can also get GP letter to show you have either attended or taken your children there during the said time, this will also help. Don't forget bank statements as well as this will also show evidence of bank activities during the said period of time. All the best.raph03 wrote:Hi jamesjames, many thanks for your reply.
I was thinking of Child Benefit or bills but those are all on my partner. My name is only mentioned on council tax bill - that's something!
I do have bank account to which he pays some shopping money regularly. Will try and attach statements from last 5 years.
Applying for PR we have provided joint tenancy agreements as a proof of relationship.
I emailed caseworker asking for clarification whether I should try and send same evidence we have provided with EEA3 application.
Thinking of it after reading your reply - it could be that they want some proof that I have been physically present in UK rather than exercising treaty rights.
Thanks again.

are you an EEA national or non-EEA family member of an EEA national.?
did you apply after or before 12 months of PR ?
Yes, HO wants to make sure u were in UK and not absent as u mentioned.raph03 wrote:Hi,slough_Boy wrote:

We're both EEA. I've applied over 2 years after obtaining PR.
This might be additional factor as well as being absent from UK for over 2 years I would have lost that status.
Thanks for all replies!
