Hi,
I am a French citizen and I've been living in the UK for 10 years.
I have recently been granted the EU settled status (in January 2020).
I understand that I need to wait one year (so until January 2021) to apply for British naturalisation if I want to use the EU settled status. But I would like to apply quicker if possible.
So I am thinking to apply to the Permanent Resident status and then use it to submit my Citizenship application.
However I also read that I need to wait one year after I get the PR status.
My question is: if it's been 10 years that I am in the UK, do I really have to wait 1 year after I get the PR card? It doesn't make any sense to me. If I get the PR card, can't I argue that I was already "PR status" automatically after 5 years even if I get my PR card just now?
I didn't know that I needed to wait 1 year after PR card. I thought the PR status was automatic after 5 years and so I could just get the card and apply directly. Isn't it the case?
Thanks.
