Please help me make sense of this paragraph - residency
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:38 pm
I do understand the words (see text at the very end of the post), but I am still confused about the below extract in the naturalisation guide.
I'm an EU citizen, got my permanent residency back in Nov 2016 and now applying for naturalisation.
So, if I submitted my application on the 1st of April 2019, do I need to show I exercised treaty rights from 01.04.2014, 01.04.2013 or count it from my permanent residency, i.e. Nov 2011.
Or is this for people who already have the 5+1 year but get the permanent residency after?
Also a couple of of other Qs- in terms of supporting docs and absences. The home office said I needed to send in everything that I had sent in for the perm res application, which would be supporting docs starting from 2011. Aren't I suppose to just send in 5 year's worth of docs counted from my naturalisation application, i.e. from 2014?
I am from an A8 country and my years prior to 2011 didn't count because I wasn't on the scheme. So technically was I in an immigration breach and can they count that against me during the naturalisation application, though I did get the perm res? The guide says that immigration breaches can be counted back to 10 years from the naturalisation application.
When you apply for a permanent residence document the evidence that you supply
for your EEA(PR) application must be for a 5-year period that ended at least a year
before you want to apply for citizenship. (This is not the case if you are married to or
the civil partner of a British citizen).
For example: If you apply for Permanent Residence on 1 January 2019 and want to
apply for citizenship once that application is decided, you should provide evidence
that shows you were exercising Treaty rights as a qualified person or family member
from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2018. For information about permanent residence
and whether you qualify see our website.
