If not, then all is not lost, you will just need to wait and exercise treaty rights a bit longer until you qualify (frustrating, I know
![Neutral :|](./images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif)
), as soon as you have worked continuously for 5 years for example, you are good to apply for your confirmation of Permanent Residence.
I'm really worried about what will happen if the UK leaves the EU though. I've made this country my home, all my friends are here and I've felt like I've settled here indefinitely.
Anyway, I just remember I had a Yellow Registration Certificate issued before 2011 as a student (probably around 2009). Would that be valid to bypass CSI? I eventually went on to exchange it for the blue one. IIRC the yellow one only offered me the ability to work part time.
Thanks everyone for your help, you are much more helpful than the incredibly confusing information on gov websites.
Help me untangle this:
13.Transitional arrangements are being introduced, so that an application for
permanent residence as a student will not be refused solely on the
grounds that there is no evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance on
the date of decision where:
UKBA issued a registration certificate to the applicant on the basis
of their residence in the UK as a student before 20th June 2011.
14. When considering a permanent residence application in such a case the
caseworker should also assume that time spent in the UK prior to the grant
of the registration certificate was time spent in compliance with the
comprehensive sickness insurance requirement.
15. Caseworkers must check the Case Information Database to ensure the
requirements of the transitional arrangements are met. If these
requirements are met, and the application for permanent residence does
not include any evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance, then the
application can be considered as if regulation 4(d)(ii) has been met.
Does this mean my student registration certificate will work in this case?! It says later on that if you are applying for permanent residence on the basis of being self sufficient than the transitional rules do not apply. I was a student 2008-2014 and full time employed since then.
