Application for PR or PR card: form EEA (PR) - UpToDate

[VinGam]

Thanks ohara,

When you said "acquired PR" does it mean I got it automatically? Event if I submitted my request after 6 years?
In may case, I have submitted documents starting from Feb 2010 so the employee at UKIV should write on my record:
PR status acquired: March 2015
PR date issue: whenever they issue it.

Is it correct?

I hope this is feasible as I may be able to apply before 2017 fee increase
I will talk to my solicitor too once I have more information.

Thanks

I have found a nice article regarding the retroactive PR status.
https://www.freemovement.org.uk/eu-nati ... lications/

that article does an example

Cecile is a French national. She has resided in the UK since 2002 as a worker; she found a job within weeks of arriving and has worked more or less continuously ever since, with a short break of a few weeks between jobs.
She automatically acquired the right of permanent residence in 2007, five years after she entered the UK. She never applied for a permanent residence certificate because she did not need to.
Worried about the possibility of the UK leaving the EU, she decides to naturalise as a British citizen. She applies for a permanent residence certificate in January 2016 and it is issued in March 2016. As soon as she has the permanent residence certificate, she is eligible to apply for naturalisation (assuming she meets the other criteria, such as good character). This is because she now has a permanent residence certificate and she has had permanent residence since 2007, which is more than the required 12 months.

Now, how do I communicate to the home office I gained before the issue date? Should I refer to the date the UKIV added as PR granted date? Or just fill the Section 2 of the AN form?

Hi everybody

I was about to post everything and then I read cases of refusal because of the CSI...

I have been living in the UK since January 2010. My first 3 months I was studying, and then I met my wife and stayed (self sufficient + jobseekers) until I found my job in september 2010 and still working with the same company.
When I arrived I had my EHIC card from Spain, but I threw it away when I got my British EHIC (when I was already employed)

How can I prove I had CSI? can I put a note saying that the evidence is gone? very worried about this. Do I really need to put evidence for them first 8 months when I have been working 5 years straight?

I am married to a British, so once I have a 5 year permanent residence status I am good to apply for naturalisation.

Thanks

Yes PR is automatic and there is no legal need to have any kind of documentation to say you have it. However since November last year, to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen you must have a document certifying permanent residence or a PR card (to make life easier for the caseworker).

If you started working in March 2010 and had no gaps or prolonged absences since then you will have PR in March 2015, no problem. UKVI EEA casework team will work it out when you send your EEA(PR) application in, and they do seem to know what they are doing.

The caseworker information database (CID) records the date of your actual PR alongside the card number so they can easily look it up.

As I said, I have been working since June 2007, applied for DCPR in December 2015, received it in February 2016, HO confirmed that my actual PR date is June 2012.

hi ! if you re worried think that it s my 110 day.
I am an EEA waiting for my DCPR . I lived here for nearly 30 years and have 4 british kids here, did my uni here , worked here, no criminal record ...but I do have a muslim name. How do you think I feel now ?? especially that they made me miss the 17 of March deadline fee for applying for the Naturalisation.

[had66]

beaujam90

I don't think there is a discrimination in the issue.
I can see that you are suffering and I wish you all the best and hope you will get it tomorrow.
May be its too early for me to say I'm worried, but I just wanted to share my time line for the benefit of the members.
I'll update if any change.

[beaujam90]

had66

I hope you get it soon.
For me it looks like they will refuse. I do think they discriminate.
I lived here for too long to see how brits changed. Especially the bureaucracy people against the foreigners.

You are entitled to residence documentation under EU law, they can't refuse, especially not because you have a "Muslim name". Please stop playing the discrimination card, it's getting really boring now

Your DCPR will come eventually, the fact that you have lived here for 30 years is probably why it is taking so long, because it requires a bit more effort on the part of the caseworker than for example someone who has only lived here 5 years and has a clear cut case.
