Jambo wrote:You can apply for British citizenship after 5 years of exercising treaty rights + 1 year so it's 6 years in total. The PR sticker is just a confirmation of your status. You don't need to wait 12 months after the PR sticker date. In that case, you will need to provide evidence of exercising treaty rights. As you would complete 12 months in a few weeks, better just to wait.
If you don't wait for the 12 months pass the PR sticker, you will need to provide evidence of exercising treaty rights (same evidence you provided for the EEA4 application).
In both cases, you will need to provide proof of residence in the 5 years prior to the application. Suggested documentation is listed in the AN form and guide.
Thanks Jambo but i am still confused so i come up with more details and question if you wouldn't mindJambo wrote:The EEA national needs to exercise treaty rights for 5 years. The non-EU national needs to be in the UK during that period and to be considered as a family member during that period.
There is no need to exercise treaty rights in the 6th year (you can apply for naturalisation 1 year after obtaining PR).
She was working till 2009 but then it was too hard working and study together so she quit working on 2010 and both of us have CSI.Jambo wrote:As you switch from UK immigration laws to EEA regulations, your clock for ILR/PR was reset when you married in 2010 so you will get PR in 2015 and can apply for naturalisation 1 year after (if rules don't change until then).
Your wife could be eligible for naturalisation (if she wish in 2013). Did she work non-stop since 2007? When she was a student did she had Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (private health insurance). This is required if EEA national is exercising treaty rights as a student and is not working.
Have you got a confirmation from the HO in the form of a sticker in your passport?dromi wrote:I've been Permanent resident in the uk for 6 years now.
Yes I have a permanent residence sticker..Have you got a confirmation from the HO in the form of a sticker in your passport?
Just for me.Are you applying just for yourself or are both of you applying?
No we dont have this.Does your wife have a confirmation of PR status (blue booklet with the sticker in it).
If this is just for you and you already got the PR sticker, there is no need to fill in section 2.4-2.6. You can cross out those questions. There is no need to provide any information about your wife treaty rights. You are applying on your own merits.dromi wrote:Hi Jambo,
Thanks for your reply, here are my answers..

This is exactly what I thought, an adviser in the nationality checking service told me I had to bring all my wife details, marriage cerficate, p60s, etc.You are applying on your own merits.
looking at the form q 1.3 is mothers date of birth..In Q 1.3 put the date on the sticker as your "indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK" date.
If the sticker in your passport is valid for 10 years and says "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" then your wife documents are irrelevant for a decision to be made. Why would you send documents which are not needed and have no bearing on the decision?dromi wrote:This is exactly what I thought, an adviser in the nationality checking service told me I had to bring all my wife details, marriage cerficate, p60s, etc.
I guess it will not harm to include all these documents anyway?
Which form are you loooking at? For British Citizenship you should use form ANlooking at the form q 1.3 is mothers date of birth..
PR is the equivalent of ILR in EEA terms. If you have told the NCS advisor that you have a PR/ILR sticker, I'm sure he would not have advised you to bring your wife's papers.I don't have ILR, but I have been resident for 6 years. My residence was extended when I renewed my passport..
You stated that you have been a Permanent Residence for 6 years. I misread that as you have held "Permanent Residence" status for 6 years. There is a big difference.dromi wrote:I don't have ILR, but I have been resident for 6 years. My residence was extended when I renewed my passport..
This is correct, I have been resident for 6 years but only got the sticker residency 2-3 years ago when I had to re-aply because my passport run out.If you have only been a resident in the UK for 6 years, this is a different story.
This is not a permanent residence sticker. This is a Residence Card for family member of EU national. It's not the same thing.At the moment my "permanent residency" sticker is valid until 2013 (5 years in total).
