Also, you do realise that the UK position is simply a paper. It is not law and nothing is settled given it is well below the EU27s published position. Therefore we all need to wait and see what comes out i the wash.
Until then people are entitled to apply for PR as EEA nationals and then apply to be a citizen of they wish.
A final point, my earlier post was about how slow HO are being jn posting out post decision.
HO has always been slow. Once you get your PR you are set.
They clearly say 10 working days wait for return of documents. So what is the point is asking before your time is due??
Being entitled for PR is great but are you entitled to apply for citizenship? Its a year's wait. Rules may change. As I have mentioned earlier. Nothing is definite. Its all negotiable. The negotiations have not even begun. The 27 will study the proposals and ask for changes which UK may or may not accede to.
People are asking about stuff that has not even been discussed leave alone implemented. Let us get a final proposal and definite law and then worry about what our status is. Settled status will not be automatic after 5 yrs stay. Just like PR is not certain after 5 years stay. So many requirements to meet the exercise of treaty rights.
Just by typing questions here because it costs you nothing does not make any sense, only tedious reading.
Let me help you out a bit. Your tone is quite arrogant and rude in places. I am a an legally trained and now about EU laws. I am fully aware of the process the treaty rights etc. I have also spent the last year advising clients on Brexit. This is a place to help others who are not so aware of the law.
You can wait for the final proposal as is your desire, others know if they are entitled to evidence of PR status under the treaties and have applied, such as my wife. And yes, before you decide to treat others like idiots I am aware of the status under the Treaties etc. I find your comment on tedium reflects badly on you. If you don't want to read it you know where to go.
Re waiting period yes depends on when PR granted, but for us it would not be an issue in terms of entitlement to apply for citizenship.
On the specific and clear question I asked, it related to how slowly the HO is currently being. I have a number of friends who have applied for EEA PR over the last year and timings to get documents back etc varies a huge amount, but it does seem things are taking a long time at present.
On the negotiations, actually they have begun albeit more for sjow than in the formal rounds. There are good reasons if their nationality allows it for those with PR to also seek UK nationality if they wish eg the two year rule so use it or lose it.
Hope that satisfied your curiousity. No doubt it is too long and so boring. Please do step back before posting certain comments and think how it comes across in future.
