Hi all,

@harridan6 - you can request passport back without affecting your application. If you believe that the application will be declined you have option to withdraw the application while requesting your passport/documents back...

I'm new to the forum, however I have been following it for few months now checking the timelines and problems that others encounter during their application process... EEA national - been in the UK for 9 years now - studying since 2007 (supported by my partner), in full time employment since 2010 (however didn't have WRS so it won't be counted towards my qualifying period), hence why I have applied as of 1st May 2011 when WRS was no longer required (after discussion with one of the HO representatives, as my ex is no longer in the UK, therefore it would be hard to provide all the details, documents and signature). I still included my whole timeline on the application.

Please see below for my timeline so far:

Docs sent: 24/05/2016
Docs received: 25/05/2016
Payment taken: 26/05/2016
Confirmation email: 27/06/2016
Passport requested back: 11/07/2016
2nd request 26/07/2016
Passports returned: 30/07/2016
DCPR dated:
DCPR received:

Hopefully I'll have some good news soon considering it's been 89 days since my application (as I've been told by the HO, the date is counted from when the payment was taken).

Hi all, I'm a bit of a strange case. Been in the UK working for 7 years since Aug 2009. Entered on tier 1 highly skilled migrant (dependant) visa but am a Polish citizen by descent. Applied for and received Polish passport in Oct 2013 and then didn't apply for ILR in 2014 to save money. However, with brexit I wish to apply for permanent residence asap. My husband is now a British citizen. Can I apply for PR using form EEA PR? I was advised by the home office that I could but I'm worried I'm going to waste my money as I suppose technically I've only been exercising treaty rights since I received my Polish passport? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.

5 years to acquire PR.
Shoot for 2018.

Unless you can be sponsored by hubby from time he was not a BC. Cannot tell from brief details.

Thanks noajthan. I think he can only sponsor me if he's settled, which would have been August 2014, so that doesn't help. He was on tier 1 work visa until he applied for ILR. So strange that the person I spoke to at the home office assured me I could apply using EEA PR even after I queried that I'd only been exercising treaty rights since Oct 2013. Again he confirmed I could, saying I'd been working here for 5 years. Anyway, I'm trying my luck, don't mind losing £65 and worried naturalisation is going to be made more difficult by 2018. Will keep everyone updated on progress (or lack thereof)!

Can anyone provide me with the phone number of Home Office?
I need to clarify some details before I apply. Thanks!

Hi

I have read in this thread about photocopying documents and submitting copies+ originals in order for HO to return the originals? Is this true? What happens if I only submit originals? Will they not be returned?

They will only accept original documentation and they will return all the originals. You should not also supply copies - this was an old version of the document that had this requirement and is no longer in force.

Your proof of identity needs to show you have been a Union citizen for at least 5 years.

Thanks Bumble for the clarification.
One more question regarding what documents to provide.
I'm EU national, been employed full time by the same employer for more than 5 years. I am planning to submit passport, letter from employer confirming I am working permanently with them starting 5+ years ago, P60 for each of the last 5 years and an utility bill or 2 for each year of the 5 years.

-My employer only does digital p60 and payslips so they are printouts from the work intranet. Is this going to be a problem? I do have an official signed letter from HR confirming employment for the period?
-Also if I submit p60 can I do without the payslips or should I also include those? And if I do, each one for the 12X5 months?

Any other tip you might have is appreciated. In the qualifying period I have also married a U.K. Citizen and had 2 children, I could include marriage and birth certificates but they are not relevant right? I am EU National so don't need the sponsor
Thanks

Sorry to bump up, I'm almost ready to send my application and it would be great to have some input on the docs before I do
Thanks so much

When my wife applied for her permanent residence (non-EEA spouse of EEA national) we used the prints of my P60s only and was good for the HO.
-Also if I submit p60 can I do without the payslips or should I also include those? And if I do, each one for the 12X5 months?
I did for my application just the P60s (last one for year 2015/2016) and payslips since then (April-July).

1 year since PR was acquired (not 1 year since you got the card).
Assuming not married to a BC.

Hi residentdiva,

Would you mind detailing if you paid by debit card by any chance?
Is it possible to pay by a debit card different of Delta and Maestro?

Many thanks,

I paid by visa credit card through a consultant. The payment form should detail which payment methods the HO accepts.
