Application for PR or PR card: form EEA (PR) - UpToDate

flexcyb wrote:Unfortunately my COA didnt include any right to work for me..
I find it very strange that I got the COA and Biometric letter at the same time. I am surely not complaining about it. I really hope it is a good sign of getting my PR sooner.. I hope you get yours soon. I have noticed that the average waiting time is 4 months. So Hopefully some good news for you soon.

I have got some scenario disturbing me a lot and i would like to share. i am 26 from ghana. i have lived with my mother who is italian from 2006 then moved to the uk with my mother on an entry clarence visa. i was gievn a residence card for 5 years as an extended family member because i was over 21 the time i did the application. my mother and i have lived in the uk all these while working. my question is; i moved from my mother's house in 2012, will that affect my permanent residence card which is due very soon. i have been calling lawyers on phone and they are telling me i shouldnt have moved out rather stay with my mum for the whole 5 yrs period, is that true? i am very confused and i don't know what to do.

note: my mother and i have lived and worked for the whole 5 yrs period with no breaks at all

Before I start I am sorry to hear that this is your situation and your lawyer was partially correct in saying that but there's a way around it. As an older dependant over 21 on your mum who is your sponsor, you will need to show that you have been solely financially dependant on her for the qualifying 5 years. This includes regular monthly transfers from her account to your account, prove you live at the same address where she pays the bills, rents or owns [not necessary but it helps and makes the process easier] and receipts of any type of expenses she covers for you (in the case of students accommodation costs, books, food and basic essentials).
Once you start working and earning your own money then it becomes harder to even qualify but in the new forms there is nothing on there to declare if you have ever worked so I think you'll be able to get away with this if you have all the necessary documents mentioned above.
It is not necessary to live in the same house as your mum but it is helps a lot if that is the case.
I think you should start passing your letters (from about 3 or 4 sources) through your mum's address.
Secondly, if you have got any bills she has paid for you even in your own place, receipts of any type of expenses she has covered for you throughout the past years you lived away or at home with your mum add that to your application. Ideally you are here because you are a "dependant" and are "21 and over" therefore you are self-insufficient and rely on her to take care of your basic needs.
If you don't have any of these documents start now!! If PR application is unsuccessful you may receive another RC and this time do it right! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your application

10. Have you, or has any non-EEA family member included in this application, had your/their fingerprints taken as part of a previous UK immigration application made in the UK or abroad (including for an EEA family permit)?


Is it about fingerprints just taken on EEA family permit or can be any other kind of application? Ej.: for student visa.

If some one could help me with that question it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm new here however I would like to say a big Congratulations to all of the members who have already received their PR cards. Well Done!

I visit this forum all the time, and I think it is a great little community. I would like to share my details with you as well.

Received my first EEA Family Permit in May 2010. In 2013 I retained my right of residence after divorce. I have sent my application for a confirmation of my Permanent Resident Status in May 2015 as follow (after 5 years of my ex husband excersing treaty rights (3 years + a few months up to the date of my divorce) and my excersing treaty rights (for almost 2 years on my own between 2013 and 2015):

Application sent: 12/05/2015
Received by the Home Office: 13/05/2015
Biometrics Letter Received: 25/05/2015
Biometrics Enrolled: 29/05/2015
COA Received: 05/06/2015
PR Card Received: Still Waiting

It's been literally 4 months now, and I must say that the wait is absolutely awful. Has anyone else sent their applications in May 2015?

Fingers Crossed...

Hi @ Daviard,

Thank you for sharing your friend timeline with us, the current average time keeps at around 5 months. I have applied on 30 of April so i think my PR card must be coming very soon, Would you please ask which day he has applied in April? So then we can have an idea of which applications they are processing. What is your timeline @ Daviard? Look forward to hear back from you.

Hello sidcostas,

She doesn't know the date. Her solicitor was dealing with her case. Approximately it was between 10th and 15th of April.

Hi Saramarcs,

Any UK immigration application including EEA family permit, so all. That's my understanding.

Hi nikicibaba, I would like to ask one question.. did your wife also get her PR in the form of a biometric residence permit card as well?


Hi K7bs,

No it was not biometric card, it was blue card with 6 pages with stamps of permanent resident. Similar to registration certificate if you have seen one.
Thanks for the info nikicibaba. I do know what you are talking about. Was this because her passport was requested back? My mum would want to have hers as a separate document that's why, she is an eu national but if it's a standard then that's even better.
