There are many examples (to be found in forum) of a PR card application being refused due to lack of CSI.DaisyChloe wrote:I have been a student since 2009 .. for two years I was only studying, then on 2012 i started working part time as well. I do not have and have never had Comprehensive Sickness Insurance cover. Could you please tell me if anyone of you applied for the PR and your application was rejected because you did not have CSI?
Yes I understand clearly - and it's a good question.DaisyChloe wrote:I started working part time in 2012 April. If I worked part time since 2012, and then I started working full time 2015 Feb up until now, would it count..? By that I mean the fact that I have started working part time..? Or only full time employment counts towards the PR application in order for me to base the application not as a student? I hope you guys understood my point..
employment must be genuine and effective and not marginal or supplementary
Ref: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... s_v3_0.pdfMarginal means the work involves so little time and money that it is unrelated to the lifestyle of the worker. It is supplementary because the worker is clearly spending most of their time on something else, not work
If you had a student RC you may be off the hook thanks to a transitional arrangement that came into play when the longstanding & compulsory CSI started being enforced;DaisyChloe wrote:No I don't have Any European health insurance cards except the one from the UK which is not acceptable because I applied for it from the UK.
It's still not clear to me whether my part time job would count, I did pay some NI contributions while I was in part time job. That wasn't a full time employment ;(
Well it's a glimmer of hope.DaisyChloe wrote:I found EHIC card which was issued in my country but it only shows expiry date and not from which year was it valid, is that enough proof for my CSI?
Ref: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-11-406_en.docHow long is the card valid for?
The length of the period of validity of the EHIC varies significantly from country to country.
There are countries which issue the EHIC only for several months (in Poland and Romania).
Some countries issue the EHIC for a few years. For example, Greece, France and Slovenia issue it for one year on average; Finland, Spain and Iceland issue it for two years; Sweden, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland, Lithuania and Malta for 3 years.
There are also countries such as the Czech Republic and Austria that issue EHICs for up to 10 years depending on the category of insured person.
Ref: http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/International- ... -students/The European Heath Insurance Card (EHIC) obtained from your country of residence is acceptable evidence of CSI, if your stay in the UK is to be temporary.
Therefore, if applying on form EEA(QP) or CR1 using this card, you will also need to send a letter (called a 'statement of intent in the application form) confirming that you do not intend to stay in the UK permanently.
If your stay is to be permanent, or you are unable to get an EHIC card from your country of residence, you will need to obtain additional insurance. The UK government does not accept entitlement to the National Health Service as sufficient as evidence, so you will need to get the EHIC before you leave your country of residence, or obtain the adequate insurance.
I can't comment on how deep HO would dig into this matter.DaisyChloe wrote:No in my country they issue the card for 3 years only and since my first card i had applied to renew it which shows later expiry date. For my current card it shows expiry date 2017 i wonder how deep HO would dig to see that?
No ban.DaisyChloe wrote:Also forgot to ask, if I apply and my application is refused, will i be banned to apply again later?
Moms are great aren't they.DaisyChloe wrote:Thanks for your reply.
Yes my mom has been living and working in the UK since 2007, she has always been working full time. She already holds a PR and is due to apply for the naturalisation.
I am not sure whether I could somehow qualify as a family member. We never lived together but from time to time my mom was supporting me financially while i was studying. Right now I am 25, but 5 years back i was 20. i understand I should be under 21 to qualify?
At under 21 is definitely a dependent minor.DaisyChloe wrote:I have had a look at the link you posted. thank you
However, i think if i was under 21 then it would be the case.
i never lived with my mom but she supported me financially , I do not have proof of bank statements as often the money was given in cash only.
Is there an age limit to qualify as a direct family member? Its not clear to me at all..
- to me that reads as if section 12 and possibly section 13 applies to you.Note Q3.2 says ...
I am or have been the descendant (child or grandchild) aged under 21 of the sponsor ...
Complete section 12
! am or have been the dependent child or grandchild aged 21 or over, ... of the sponsor ...
Complete section 13
