Hello All,
Here is an update, (as of 4 march 2016) I have received my "Document Certifying Permanent Residence". (See the detailed timeline above in quotes).
It has been 46 days since i sent documents and received them back. Minus 2 days, it is 44 day. (date on the document says its issued on 2nd March 2016).
Full disclosure; I was hoping to receive a driving Licence sort of card (based on what I read from this forum). But that was my misinterpretation. Now I realised that they send you upgraded version of your latest residence/ILR/registration Certificate, with your new picture on it.
Bulgarian and Romanians expect to receive same sort of Blue Registration Certificate with a new picture on it and in the type of document section it will say; type of document: "Document Certifying Permanent Residence". Which is what they ask for in British Citizenship Application form.
Now I am a resident since Feb 2008, the biggest question is, should I apply for British Citizenship, or do I have to wait another 12 month? Can anyone answer that for me please?
I think this is the gray(est) area and thousands of people in the same situation, puzzled and don`t know what to do.
Just because "Document Certifying Permanent Residence" says its issued on 2nd March 2016, does not mean I was only resident for previous 5 years to that date.
if the rule has not been changed in British Citizenship Application in end of 2015, I was not going to apply to permanent residence card (in fact they were advising that this was optional, if you feel like you could apply for it, but if you dont bother you did not have to).
I strongly believe that, this 12 month waiting time for British Citizenship application after obtaining permanent residence document, is not applicable for those EU citizens who has been resident in the UK for way longer than residency qualifying period.
Oct 2015 rule change really put all EU citizens in an awkward position, for whom were already considering to apply for British Citizenship.
What are your thoughts on this? Can anyone enlighten us on this?
Many Thanks
Hope it helpsI can confirm that a person acquires permanent residence following 5 years’ residence in
accordance with the EEA Regulations, not on the date they obtain a residence card. The
date that they were deemed to have acquired permanent residence will be recorded on
UKVI’s database and so will be clear to the nationality caseworker. This means that a
person who has been resident in the UK for some time can send evidence that they were
resident in the UK for a 5 year period ending at least 12 months before they want to apply
for citizenship, and can then immediately apply for citizenship.

What exactly do you need help with? Application for PR card/document is very simple, but there are of course solicitors who will charge you £1000 to help with it if that's your thingtayyabbilal wrote:Hello anyone can suggest me any good lawyer/barrister in eea application it will be huge favour please tag me when you message or personal message me many thanks in advance

I am EU family member and my lawyer took 1500 plus VAT few days back I asked her to tell me if she received my COA, she didn't reply, after few days I asked her again and she replied stop asking me same question again, If she gets something she will post it to me. Good luck with finding good solicitor. I could fill the form myself but then took one and seeing her application, I think I could do better. she made mistakes in covering letter which I corrected, application I couldn't check and there are few mistakes in that too but thanks God they are not serious ones.zico wrote:Hello!tayyabbilal wrote:Hello anyone can suggest me any good lawyer/barrister in eea application it will be huge favour please tag me when you message or personal message me many thanks in advance
Why should you have to spend your money for the lawyer? You can fill the application by yourself. Anyway if you really need a lawyer, expect to spend between 800 to 1000 pounds. You can find some of them by searching "immigration lawyers " online.

Hi ally yes you are right but with the referendum coming you will never know what can happen in here or changes in law. £65 is nothing atleast im sure that he has the documents. Although i am in the process of applying british before june for the 3 of us. Its always better to be sure than sorry. I think its just me making sure everything is in place. Good luck to us. I know your next step is british citizenship. Sorry he was born here but my eea wife dont have the pr when he was born 4 years ago. The main reason why my son got a polish passport.
