Hi all, I would really appreciate some advice as this has been quite stressful.
I'm a EU national, I've moved here when I was 12 in 2007 and:
* Up until June 2011: I attended secondary school
* Sept 2011 - June 2013: I attended 6th form
* Sept 2013 - Sept 2016: Undergraduate studies
* June 2016 - Jan 2017: Worked at Uni
* Jan 2017 onwards: PhD studies (all of the above have been in UK).
I didn't have health insurance so I applied for PR with my parents as their dependent, have received DCPR with a letter saying PR was obtained in April 2016.
One general question I have with regards to the application is whether whenever the AN form asks for 5 years, do I need to provide 6 years instead (5 years + 1 year with PR).
1.5 & 1.6 My surname has a letter which is not in the English alphabet and I have been using L instead - do I need to do anything?
1.17 Home addresses - should I just provide my family address or term time addresses for the past few years or both?
1.46-1.49 Non of these apply to me as I am a student, do I just leave them blank?
"You must have been physically present in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands on the day 5 years before the application is received by the Home Office." Is a letter from school saying I attended the school during that time enough?
And for the "Evidence of lawful residence during the 5 years before the date of the application" part:
* Again, is this 5 or 6 years?
* My current passport doesn't cover the last 5 years and there was a gap between when my old passport expired and when I got the new one - what should I do (I was in the UK at the time, but there was a long waiting list for passport renewals)? I have letters from my school/6th form/uni that I attended, but they are non overlapping due to summer holidays when changing from Secondary School to 6th Form and from 6th Form to Uni.
* Do I need to provide all the evidence again like for the PR application, or are the letters from schools and payslips from my internships (during Uni) and Uni work enough?
* Since I applied for PR with my parents, do I need to prove again that I was their dependent and submit their documents as well?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I have phoned the Home Office few times, they are helpful, however they don't like answering multiple questions.
. Should I say on question 1.45 that he is looking for work? And questions 1.46, 1.47, 1.48, 1.49 Should I leave it blank? Should I include evidence that he is looking for work within his application?
