Personally for me it was more peace of mind. I was able to see all the documents that the home office held on me and it clearly stated the date I achieved permanent residency. I will probably include a copy of the sar with my application so that there's no mistake on permanent residency dateIndianlonly wrote:I don't know if I should request this form or not as I already have stamped in my passport when I first enter to the kingdom therefor I was granted such a permanent few weeks ago due to 5year in the United so it's obviously shown I have spent 5 m years here plus 6 months the time waiting for my permanent resident card so it's clear that in 2 month I will complete 6 years
Thanxohara wrote:Yes, when you complete the part of the SAR form which asks what data you want, tick the first 2 boxes (and any others you are interested in).
They will send you all of the caseworker information they hold on you, which will include the date they have recorded for you acquiring PR.
I suggest you follow this thread to keep up with the discussionIndianlonly wrote:Just a quick question

First rule of UK immigration: do not rely on HO helpline.Nomad10 wrote:Greetings everyone,
I am in the process of preparing my citizenship application after obtaining DCPR end of December.
I decided to call home office again to check about the 12 months waiting rule after PR certificate is obtained.
One agent said it's ok to apply, another one today said no I have to wait until next december.
I have been in UK since 1999, so i got PR very long time ago, which i explained on the phone call.
I am lost as to whose views i should follow. It's frustrating to get different contradictory advice from the same source.
Has anyone applied for citizenship recently without waiting for 12 months?
Thanks.
The only silly questions are the ones you don't ask - and they usually catch you out later.Miko7 wrote:Hi everyone,
I have 2 simple questions and it will sound a bit silly to some of you here but important questions for most of us. I live and work in England for last 9 years and can provide P60s etc and decided to finally apply for BC. After all the recent changes they have made I am not sure if I can apply for citizenship without Permanent residence card? I know that last year you had that option if you are EEA national but as I can read from above it sounds like you have to first apply for PR card now. Citizens Advice Bureau was not able to confirm and have not received a clear answer from anyone else
If you need PR Card, how quickly you can apply for citizenship after receiving it? What I can see from here, there is no straight answer for this. Or do I have to wait for whole 12 months after receiving/issue PR Card? Does it mean that there is a chance to apply for citizenship e.g. a week after receiving PR Card?
I would be very grateful if someone could explain in simple words.
Many thanks!
Scott
Sorry to be pedantic, but ILR is an acceptable alternative. (I believe RoA is also an alternative.) There are a few non-British EEA nationals who have indefinite leave to remain but no PR cards, and probably even some who have ILR but not permanent residence.noajthan wrote: Yes, any EEA national (or family dependent) applying for the privilege of citizenship now has to submit a confirmation of PR card; it is one of the mandatory requirements for naturalisation.
HO telephone helpline is notoriously unreliable and unfortunately cannot be held liable for decisions made by people acting on their 'advice'nataliedelmar wrote: Basically, what they said was that if you’ve been exercising Treaty Rights for 6+ years, once you’ve got your document, certifying permanent residence, you can apply for Naturalisation straight away. However (and this is the confusing bit), as the document proves only 5 years, you would have to (again) prove the last 6 years, or at least the 1 year before the 5 years covered by the permanent residence card.
In my case, I’ve been exercising Treaty Rights for over 9 years and we proved these 9 years when applying for a permanent card. I asked if this would be on their system, as I really don’t see a point to prove same period twice, but they said that they don’t hold this data, so I’ll need to prove it again.
Unless either you or your spouse are EU citizens (not British), this topic/thread is not relevant to you. ILR in her passport is fine. PR is different in that it is though the EEA/EU Route.kankerot wrote:My wife recieved ILR in 2009 and it was a stamp/ sheet in her passport. For her Naturalisation application at the NCS all they asked was to point out where it was in her passport, no other reference was made for a document confirming this.
Does this mean my wife British Citizenship application will be declined? If so then what is the point of the check and send service if they don't pick up this point?

No you can't. It's a regional service line for NCS which is run by UKVI. It doesn't accept public calls and as such there is no queue, they answer immediatelynatienka wrote:ohara This is very helpful. What is this magical hotline that they called to find out when that PR was actually given to you? I guess I cannot call it?
Well at least you know there and then in the appointment... but what if they say that e.g. they've deemed me as having received PR only yesterday (for example), I guess that would mean I would lose the appointment cost and have to wait for whenever those 12 months pass, and go for an appointment again?ohara wrote:No you can't.

Yes, and that would be unfortunate if it did happen, but on the bright side you'd be losing £60 instead of £1236.natienka wrote:Well at least you know there and then in the appointment... but what if they say that e.g. they've deemed me as having received PR only yesterday (for example), I guess that would mean I would lose the appointment cost and have to wait for whenever those 12 months pass, and go for an appointment again?
