Well you could go to an OISC registered immigration advisor or go to a solicitor (lawyer) experienced in EEA matters.Gazza1591 wrote:Hi
My partner is looking to apply for PR in the UK she has been living and working here for about 14 years now, she is originally from Slovakia and I'm a UK born citizen. We have been living tougher for the last 10 years and engaged to be married.
We have downloaded the forms and notes but are struggling to fill parts of the application out. Is there any company or government body that will help us fill the forms out correct.
From what we can tell she is eligible for PR, as said she has been here for 14 years and in employment the whole time, we have bank statements, and other letters to prove she has been at are address for the last 5+ years where we live tougher, and have letters from her last 2 employer to prove the dates she was working with them which equates to more than 5 years.
Can anyone point us in the right direction for help and advice and from the above is she eligible to apply for it??

Or you can post here and good people will surely help.
In a nutshell...
As you are British its all about your partner.
She needs to have been exercising treaty rights as a qualified person (eg as a worker) in UK continuously for 5 years.
Any absences from UK need to have been within prescribed limits in order to maintain continuity of residence.
It is quite likely she has already acquired PR automatically already.
What she will apply for, on form 'EEA (PR)', is a 'confirmation of PR' card.
You just need to pick any 5-year period with good supporting documentary evidence.
(It doesn't have to be the last 5 years).
Note as applicant is from Slovakia (an A8 country), was she fully & properly registered on WRS![]()
Or it may be she was exempt from WRS if already working in UK before 2004. You will have to dig into that.
Suggest print off relevant sections of the form & have (another) go at completing it.
See how it shapes up.
Note if partner has ambitions for privilege of citizenship then try to choose a period by which she has already acquired PR over 1 year ago.
Then she would be able to apply to naturalise as soon as she got the PR card; (asssuming all other requirements have been/can be met).

You are welcome post any further questions here.
You don't quite understand that PR is acquired automatically by the act of exercising treaty rights by a qualified person.Gazza1591 wrote:Hi thanks for the reply sorry only just see it. How would she still all ready have PR if never applied for it? If she has is there any way to confirm it with out having to fill the forms in?
In with regards to the help filling the forms in what does the OISC mean?
The only time she has been out the UK is for about 2 weeks a year for summer holidays.
She is only looking to apply for PR, as not the referendum is happening in June, if we do leave the Eu she is worried they may ship her back to Slovakia
Put simply your next step is gather all evidence & apply for (confirmation) of PR.Gazza1591 wrote:Hi.
Thanks again, I really don't understand it all to be honest, so do we still need to fill all the forms out I'd we apply for confirmation of PR? And supply all the bank statements work Confirmation letter from doctors etc etc if we apply for confirmation?
She has worked in factories since she has been in the UK about 14 years back.
Once she has the PR she is looking to apply for citizenship.
...
Cheers for any replies as said we don't really understand it all just after a simple way to get her PR
