Hi again,

i'd like to know, what is the best and fastest way to receive my passport back after sending the application?

I know its good to attach prepaid envelope, but do i need to call them or include some sort of written request to the application?

Thanks for help in advance

For EEA citizens it's a vignette that is just stuck on a piece of card and it looks like this:

For non-EEA citizens it is a biometric card which looks like this:

Hi VinGam,

I sent a mix of things really since I was a student from 2009 - 2012, did work placements for a year and was then employed 2013 - present.

- So for the time i was a student I provided a letter from the university confirming I attended the course,
- for the work placements I sent letters from the agencies I worked at (since I didn't get paid for them so didn't have any payslips) + printouts of emails conversations with recruiters and interview confirmations.
- and for current employment I sent P60s for 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 + my most recent payslip

Also, since I was exempt from needing the comprehensive sickness insurance I had to print out and add this to my application:
Transitional arrangements are being introduced, so that an application
for permanent residence as a student will not be refused solely on the
grounds that there is no evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance
on the date of decision where:
 UKBA issued a registration certificate to the applicant on the basis of
their residence in the UK as a student before 20th June 2011.

Thanks for you reply Ohara. Could that be the reason why when I asked my passport back they said in the letter "do not return your documents to the HO unless requested"?

I applied on Jan 16, had my COA feb and did the biometrics the same month. Haven't heard anything else from them other than the letter they sent with my passport in April.
Any ideas?
Thank you

I have sent for each of my job letter from employer and bank statements. I also submitted all payslips for the last 3 years and 4 months.

I have done it the 24 of Feb, it's 61 days today. Average looks 60-70 days. I hope I get it soon :D

Hi,
I think your written request will be enough, plus as an EEA national you don't have to wait for your PR for long, u are talking from 5 to 8 weeks waiting time, so I guess you will get your ID back soon! But good luck

Here are my dates:

Application sent: 27-Feb-16
Application received: 29-Feb-16
Payment taken: 02-Mar-16
Confirmation e-mail received: 23-Mar-16
Document Certifying Permanent Residence dated: 17-Apr-16
DCPR received (not at home): 20-Apr-16
Picked up from Post Office: 23-Apr-16

I have a couple of questions:
1. The baby received a Registration Certificate. I understand I can apply on MN1 form now. Is that correct?
2. What is the earliest we can all apply to Naturalisation?

I can see this requirement "had indefinite leave to stay in the UK for the last 12 months (or permanent residence if you’re an EEA national with a permanent residence card or document that shows you have permanent residence)" > so assume I can only apply after 17-Apr-2017. Is that correct?

Thank you,
Alex

As far as I know for yourself you have to wait for 12months which is until 17/04/2017, However for your child u can apply for his/her passport as u have just got your PR!

As far as I know , in order to apply for neutralisation you need to hold PR for the last 12 months. It doesn't matter the date shown on the PR. Its my case as we'll. For e.g I should have acquired PR in Dec 2010 but I didn't apply till one month ago for the PR. Once I receive it I can apply for neutralisation in Dec 2016 , even though the date on the PR will be most probably June 2016 or even later.

Correct me if I am wrong, please!

We all know that from the 1st of March 2016. All the applications sent either by EU or Non EU nationals have all seen their application been extraordinary slow right from the taking of fees to application acknowledgement to Biometric enrolment.

My Tme line as Non EU applicant.
Application Received : 07/03/2016

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.
HelloRayegg again
Hope you do not mind another question
Did you have to wait until the biometric letter to come through with the case number on it before your work can phone and enquirer about the application ? Or where you about to get it a different way
Many thanks again

Hi I apologise if I ask this, but have not seen anything about this. Can a PR certificate be denied due to criminal record from 2000?
Thank you.

EEA citizens are not required to submit biometrics for EEA residence documentation applications.

Hello All

I just started to complete the EAA (PR) form and i have some questions if somebody can give some answers !

1. I'm a Romanian citizen and I'm in UK Form 2008 .

So i need to send my prove of employment, address etc for the last 5 years of residence .

On page 47 at section 9.4 they request all my employment/self employment history from the moment I'm in UK. They need just this info or i need to send all employment proof starting with 2008 ?

2. In 2011 i received a caution from police. I know the cautions are A non-custodial offence or other out of court disposal that is recorded on a person’s criminal record for the 5 years when the caution is spent.

My caution will be spent in June this year so in the same month with my application. I know they don't accept applications with cautions received for the last 3 years .

It is going to cause me problems ? Because i need to complete this in the application as they will check criminal records and the caution will appear forever.

3. Should i send original + photocopies? as i didn't find nowhere this requirement.


Thank all !!!

Hi Ohara, could you please explain a bit more, why do you think that 12 months period is not needed in this case! i'm a bit lost here! as far as i know my partner (EEA national) had to wait for 12 month!

Thanks in advance! ;-)

You don't apply for PR.

If you have acquired PR (it is automatic) in December 2010, then you will be able to apply for naturalisation in December 2011.
