Hi dimi.....dimi wrote:Hi has anyone gone this route?
I am non-EEA family member of an EEA person
in June I will have been residing in the UK for 6 years under the new EEA rules. The rules state that you aquire PR automatically after residing in Uk for 5 years. This means I have aquired PR a year ago and can now be naturalised under 5 years residce + 1 year permanenet.
One this I have never actually applied for PR confirmation via eea4, because it simply takes too long, and I was travelling frequently.
I would like to skip PR application and go for British citizenship right away.
So has anyone applied for naturalisation under the EEA 6 years without having a PR stamp in his/her passport.
Sorry, I disagree. Again, pls read the form, send them the correct documents in right order, and in all likelihood you should get citizenship within 2 months.dimi wrote:I agree that the form and guidance state that non-EEA can apply after 6years under EEA rights.
However, HO is well known for requesting more documents that is actually required and for taking their time with not strateforward cases.
Therefore actuall expiriences with regards to timelines and documernts submited would be very helpful!!!
The first thing which I didn't understand is why it's more risky to apply for BC rather than PR-becouse I pay for BC and PR is free and I can loose the money in case of negative result?86ti wrote:Just send in all the necessary documents and maybe write a cover letter if the AN form doesn't have a section where you can note that down. What is the first thing you don't understand?
That's how I would understand it.Hru3000 wrote:The first thing which I didn't understand is why it's more risky to apply for BC rather than PR-becouse I pay for BC and PR is free and I can loose the money in case of negative result?86ti wrote:Just send in all the necessary documents and maybe write a cover letter if the AN form doesn't have a section where you can note that down.

I think it's time you changed your lawyer Sasim as he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. I WAS a non eea member and applied for EEA4 in Jan 2009, application voided in Jan 2010 cos my passport was expired before i sent it to the HO (which was probs a good thing for me cos it bought me time) reapplied for EEA4 with a new passport in Apr 2009 got COA 2 months later, called HO in Oct and they said application is with case worker and the usual rubbish.sasim wrote:after going through with this post I've been to my lawyer yesterday & asked him the same question b/c I had been married to an eea 6 years.
he told me this law is only for eea nationals not for dependants who are non eea.
I will file my PR based on 5 years of marriage in a day or two.
just sharing for other ppl.
regards
Just to let everyone know that i attended the passport interview on 27th of Nov 2010 - Same questions asked as in forumnoodles wrote:HI Guys,
Guess i should share my story here as i've received tons of PMs regarding my success story telling me to post my timelines but i'm just really bad with dates so here we go.
Dec 2003 - Became EEA family member
Jan 2004 - Received 5 yr RC
Sometime in 2008 seperated from partner (as she started thinking she was a supreme being by me being a dependant, so i told her where to stick it
Jan 2009 - applied EEA4 under my own rights
Jan 2010 - EEA4 VOIDED (not refused) due to invalid passport i.e my old passport had expired before i submitted it for EEA4 (silly thing, but actually bought me time to get to the BC zone)
April 2010 - Reapplied EEA4
July 2010 - COA
Last week in Sept 2010 - Applied for Naturalisation based on 5yrs EEA + 1 Yr PR route (note:PR was attained automatically in Dec 2008)
Oct 2010 - Account got debited by £735 and received COA 2nd week in Oct.
Oct 2010 - Called HO to check status of EEA application bcos of mortgage application and the official said not to worry as a decision has been made on my BC application and the outcome should be fine for the banks but my EEA application had been assigned to a case worker (typical)

Oct 21st 2010 - Got a call from solicitor that my BC was approved , called the council 2 mins later and booked private ceremony the next day (before they changed their minds )
