Hello Gurus, I need some help here please...

I am a NON EEA family member of EEA.. I got my RC in March 2010, I applied for PR in April 2015 and was issued a PR Card in October 2015... From earlier discussions it appears that I would have acquired PR in March 2015 but only got its confirmation in October ( Please correct me if wrong ). However my question is, do I have to submit most of the documents that went with my PR application? I would also like to know what documents I need to submit please.

Thanks for your anticipated kind response(s).

To avoid confusion & jumbled responses, I have moved your question to its own thread (this one) in (the most) appropriate forum(this one).

I'd do a SAR to check when HO have your PR down unless you submit via NCS where they should be able to check by calling the home office.

In theory you should have attained PR in / before March 15 but home office don't always write this down correctly and in the application it's HO's date that counts.

So if you don't want to lose your application fee make sure you don't apply before having held PR a year *in the eyes of the home office*.

And you only need to send evidence of residence for your naturalisation application to show you have resided in the UK the past 5 years lawfully. If your passport gets stamped on entry to the UK that may be enough.

Thank you for your response. I have been visiting the UK ( on a visitors visa ) since May 2007 but came to settle in September 2009 and got my RC in March 2010. All these are evident on my first passport. I have travelled out of the UK on several occasions within this period ( not exceeding 2 months)and there are a number of border stamps.
Are you saying my passport alone satisfies the 'evidence of 5 years residence' ?

Thank you

If you are married which is the latest date of:

• date of your wedding to EEA spouse/sponsor
  date of your entry into UK;
  and date your EEA sponsor started exercising treaty rights in UK

The 5th anniversary of that date is when you should have acquired PR.
(The date of your RC is somewhat irrelevant).

But as already mentioned, whether or not HO have the same date stored about you (in their CID databank somewhere in the bowels of HO HQ) is another question.

As to documents, the AN guidance is quite comprehensive.

Have a read through the form AN guidance, if your passport gets stamped it should be sufficient but by all means if you have P60s or a letter from your employer confirming you worked for them the last 5 years then include this too.

PR evidence was about proving your sponsor exercised treaty rights & your dependence on / relationship with the sponsor, naturalisation is about showing your commitment to the UK including your continued residence here. Also helps if said evidence proves that you didn't lose PR by leaving for > 2 years.

One quirk people can't stress enough is that you MUST have been physically in the UK on the day 5 years prior to the date HO receive your application.

Thank you very much I very much appreciate.

Please continue in your own long running existing thread linked below. It is rude to just tag your question onto someone else's topic/thread.
