An RC (or 'registration certificate' for EEA citizens) might have helped a bit (especially if you had had one as a student) but is not compulsory.DaisyChloe wrote:Forgot to mention, could you please clarify to me if I should have held a Residence Card before applying with my mom as my sponsor or this Residence Card is required for those who are non-EU? i am an EU national. i was told i never needed a Residence card because that does not stop me from applying for a Permanent Residence card.. is that right? i do not have Residence card even though in the application form for some reason there is a question asking whether i hold any of specified doc including a Residence Card
No that doesn't matter.DaisyChloe wrote:Hmmm does it matter that my mom only got her PR in 2013-2014?
She did not have it when i was under 21 ...
Also what evidence could i send as my proof for 5 years in the uk? Bank statements?
No, because by applying as the dependent family member it does not matter what you have done for your 5 years residency; it is the economic activity of sponsor that counts.DaisyChloe wrote:Oh if i show that i have been enrolled in a course full time , they may ask me CSI ! or that does not apply?! i am worried if i mention that i have been a student i will be asked for CSI ! I Do have all the formal letter from my university confirming that i was studying full time. Maybe i should not mention that.
Also, i hope that HO will not reject my application if they will see that no i have been working full time since feb and may can support myself but my mom can still always support me even if I'm old enough. I do not have any financial evidence that my mom has been supporting me as it was by way of cash always, does that counts? or it is enough that i am daughter of someone who works full time. I will ask my mom to write a letter stating that she has been supporting me with cash ever since i moved to the uk... would that help as an evidence?
Hmm, in general you do need supporting evidence & you would need proof of support once you hit 21.DaisyChloe wrote:oh thats very clear described. Thank you. How about the fact that my mom was giving me cash and therefore not much of financial evidence to give to HO? The fact that my mom has a regular income is sufficient or it has to be proved that she was sending me money, she did support me financially but not by way of bank transfers but money in hand.
Is this your timeline?DaisyChloe wrote:I came to UK in summer 2009.
Sounds like a plan.DaisyChloe wrote:I hope the HO will see this as you outlined it: that from 2009 until 2011 i was a dependant child, but from 2012 i worked my self part time and exercised treaty rights myself. Even though i was studying full time at that moment, would that mean i would still need proof of CSI??
However, as for the application form, I will only notify that I am applying on the basis that my mom is a sponsor otherwise it gets too complicated even for the HO, but I hope they may distinguish that in 2009-2011 i was under 21. I am not sure how they will approach the assessment ...
Ref: http://www.housing-rights.info/EEA-chil ... cation.phpIf the child of an EEA national:
starts a course of education in the UK, such as attending primary or secondary school, or beginning a college or university course and
a parent of that child has been, at some time, an EEA worker or self-employed person (including working while registered on the Worker Registration or Authorisation Schemes)
the child has the right to complete the course of education in the UK.
The child has the right to reside while finishing the course of education, and the parent or parents with care of the child (whether EEA citizens or not) also have the right to reside. There is no requirement that the child or parent/s in this case be self-sufficient.
For children in school, finishing a course of education means completing their compulsory school education.
When a child and parent/s complete five years with this right to reside they get the permanent right to reside
fyi - an inspiring 'work/study' case with a happy outcome:DaisyChloe wrote:noajthan - Thank you very much for posting this information! I read it and hopefully HO will assess my application on that basis as well.

I have been reading around as well a lot on this forum and online on this matter.
DaisyChloe wrote: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 was when it was issued. I know, in my case the same situation, I am waiting reply from the HO about my PR application, then if it is positive another 12 months and then another 6 months until I am naturalised.
So it seems that if you intend to apply for naturalisation, you should show evidence of exercising treaty rights for the 5 year period ending 12 months before you apply for the PR document. Then you'll be able to apply for naturalisation immediately upon receiving the document. This is what I have done, and I intend to send my naturalisation application form off pretty much as soon as my document certifying PR arrives."(...) 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 years before you can apply. When you apply for a permanent residence document the evidence that you supply for your EEA(PR) application must be for a 5 year period that ended at least a year before you want to apply for citizenship.
For example: If you apply for Permanent Residence on 1st December 2015 and want to apply for Citizenship once that application is decided, you should send evidence that shows you were exercising Treaty rights as a qualified person or family member from 1 December 2009 to 1 December 2014. "
