Do you know where can I find more information about the PR Card? how to apply for it etc? Or any phone number where I can get that clarified?
These are bad news as I would have to wait another year from now until I can apply.. when I was expecting to do it in March next year..
Thanks again for your quick replies!
Your ballpark timings bring to light very well the lack of 'joined up thinking' associated with this unilateral HO change.gapyear wrote:But I have indefinite leave to stay in the UK as I´m a EU citizen (Spain) right? I don´t need any kind of document apart from my passport or ID to be in the UK. So my understanding was that after 5 years I automatically acquire the "PR" and then I have to wait 1 year more in order to apply.
I understand this is a new rule, but, has anyone went through this process? Has anyone applied after the 12th of November and has some feedback?
As I´m understanding it now I would have to apply now for the PR (let´s say 1 month) then wait up to 6 months to get it and then wait 1 year to apply,then apply for naturalisation, 6 months until that´s resolved plus 1 month more for the ceremony and the extra time to do the passport (another month?). Total of 2 years and 5 months from now
Any other advise will be welcome, I think this is very new and I can´t find any other information in the forum.
Thanks again!
The links only show examples of how it is now - not what is 'right' or how it should be.gapyear wrote:Hi noajthan,
Thanks for your quick reply. I went through those links and the links in there and it seems quite clear now that the timings I wondered would be the right ones... so very sad news. They are obviously trying to make it harder or EU citizens to become British as this new requirement hasn't got any sense apart from delaying the applications and make them harder and more expensive.
Thanks Case, I understand now what the writer wanted to say.
Ohara, read a bit more about that, it seems the common understanding you have to wait another 12 months once you get the PR. Read the links noajthan posted as it's quite clearly explained there.
On the contrary. HO have not confirmed what the case is. The requirements for applying for naturalisation state that you must have held permanent residence for 12 months or more. The document certifying PR is just that - it confirms you have PR; it does not grant it or change the date you obtained it.gapyear wrote:it seems the common understanding you have to wait another 12 months once you get the PR.
