Hi, I left Q2.4 blank as I think it doesn't apply to me. That's right, no?noajthan wrote:Q2.4 is more important for you.brazUKa wrote:Thank you for the reply. Yes I do have PR since the end of 2013.

...the AN Guide says:
2.4 – 2.6 If you are a national of a member state of the EEA, or the family member
of an EEA national, and do not have indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom
you should complete these sections. Please refer to section 6 of the Booklet AN for
further guidance.
just to clarify my situation:
I'm a Brazilian married to an Italian since 2008. Had the 5 year already EEA visa and then in 2013 I've got Permanent Residence.

You have several misunderstandings here.brazUKa wrote:...
Initially I thought it applied too but the guide says:
"and do not have indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom"
I do have PR so no longer sponsored by EEA.

If you leave Q2.4 blank your application will fail & you will lose your fee (without any right of appeal)..
Forget about ILR; you are evidently on a EU migration route and you have PR.
That means you do not have ILR.
You were sponsored by an EEA national (at some time) and you do have PR now.
Fill in Q2.4.
That is why Q1.3 about ILR does not matter. Because Q2.4 applies to your case!.
Appy via NCS and they will crosscheck your form is correct (to best of their ability).
It doesn't matter how you got settled status.brazUKa wrote:In my understanding, once you had PR, didn't really matter how you came to have it, as in the end of the day, it's a permanent residency status you have so even if one gets divorced the permanent residency is guaranteed. On the PR card even says says "no restrictions on the holder's activity in the UK"
Thank you very much for the advice anyway. I will certainly apply via NCS but the website of my Local Authority says they won't help/give advice on filing the form as is a criminal offense.
Form AN. There is no other form relevant to you.raha333 wrote:Hi,
I'm due to fill the naturalisation application form. I have ILR based on humanitarian grounds (refugee) but I'm not sure which form should I fill? Is it just one form for all applicants with different types of visas or there are different forms like ILR application?
Thanks in advance

First rule of UK immigration: don't rely on HO helplineANODOS wrote:Thanks Ohara. I phoned Home Office again this morning hoping that somebody competent will be able to explain what answer to put for q 1.3 for EEA nationals and again was told that this is the ISSUE DATE of my PR card. She also said that I need to wait 12 months from the issue date of my PR card before I can apply for Naturalisation, as otherwise my application will be refused! I explained that the evidence I provided with my PR application was for Dec 2009 – Dec 2014 as per HO guidance (5 years excluding the last 12 months) but she said that this didn’t matter and the earliest I can apply is in 12 months!
Have you received any firm advice/evidence other than the guide saying that you don’t have to wait 12 months? I’m thinking of sending an application directly to the HO, as my application is really straightforward (1 job, 1 address etc) but I’m not starting to doubt that this is a good idea and am considering using NCS, which in my opinion would be a waste of money in my case.
The advice you have been given is wrong and the Home Office have explicitly stated that the date of issue on the card is not the date that you automatically acquired permanent residence. The document certifying permanent residence is just that - it CERTIFIES it, it does not confer it. Alas, there is no need to even possess said document, other than for this application.ANODOS wrote:Thanks Ohara.

My take on this is leave 1.3 blank.ANODOS wrote:Thank you noajthan!
Re q1.3 – I’m not sure what ‘UK immigration route’ means in this context. Would you say leave this question blank, like ohara suggested above or put Dec 2014 which was the end of 5 year period of the evidence I submitted with my PR application (and explain why I put this date in the additional information session)?
Just thought of another question – my name in my passport is spelled with a letter which is not listed in UK alphabet – an ‘L’ with a dash. Do I need to explain this in the additional info session? If I do, what would I call it – a special ‘L’?
Many thanks again!

Where an applicant has a name including the diacritical characters listed above, you will need to explain to them prior to issue that the alternative
spelling must be used, the system must be updated to show the transliteration and a case note must be added to explain the change. Similarly, if an
applicant completes their application form with any diacritical characters in the name transliterated as above, but their documents show the corresponding
diacritical character, this should be accepted without any supporting evidence
