British Citizenship - EU Citizen

[Luciantod]

Hi there. I’m applying for my bc online and on the document page it says I need a “UK permanent residence card” it also says under that “ you must have a uk permanent residence card before applying for citizenship “ . The problem is I only have Indefinite Leave to Remain from the Home Office (email confirmation). Would that be enough? Thank you.

Presumably it's Settled Status you have (not pre-) - so that's OK - you need to select the ILR option.

Yes it Settled status that I have. tx for the answer

Hi there, what documents can I use for proof of the 5 year residence? Can I use a combination of them, for example p60, pay slips and city council tax? I’ve had a few jobs and I don’t have all the p60’s for them. Thank you.

Btw, I have settled status ILR (5 years + 12 months)

P60 and Council Tax should be sufficient if they cover the five years going back from your application date.

Would bank statements work as well? Cheers

Bank statements are not accepted. If you have a gap most official documents/correspondence can be used, such as Council Tax, HMRC, DWP Pensions or Child Benefit.

Hi there, I’ve applied for British Citizenship as an EU national (Romanian) on the 28th of January 2020, that was the day everything was sent off, biometrics included.

I haven’t received absolutely anything since then, only a confirmation email of the application being sent. It’s almost 6 months now, is that normal?

It is just over 4 months since you applied, not nearly 6 months. Applications can take up to 6 months, often longer than that.

HO don't inform you at every step what is happening with your case. All you can do is wait to hear back.

I applied as a Romanian on the 28th of January 2020 and got a reply on the 18th of May 2020. It can take a bit of time, especially right now with the current situation.

Thanks for the replies guys.

All sorted now, the decision just came today!
