I'm an EU citizen looking at applying for British citizenship using the permanent residency route (yes, time is of the essence). I struggle to understand a few things and I hope someone here can help:
1) Since my permanent residence was backdated to September 2016 (covers Sept.2011 to Sept.2016) - do I need to send supporting evidence for the period Sept. 2014 - Sept. 2016 when applying for citizenship? Or do I only need to send supporting documents for the period Sept. 2016 - Sept. 2019?
Asking as I was not working for a few months and subletting, therefore I do not have much paperwork in my name.
1Bis) For PR I sent bank statements which I understand are not acceptable for citizenship - is this correct?
2) Using the online form - do I need to send my passport or can I get it "registered" somewhere? I seem to understand that there are centres where they can upload your documents and send them electronically to the HO? Does anyone know how that works?
I hope this makes sense and someone can help! Thanks a lot!
