Citizenship online application for EEA citizen Holder of EEA Permanent card

Post by ROMA2021 » Tue Jun 29, 2021 12:31 pm

Hi all,
i have EEA Permanent Residence card and i got also settled status. my questions
1- on the online application it has section asking me to provide Biometric card details ? does this mean EEA residence card ?
if yes
then it asks to provide Expiry date ? my document doesn't have Expire date? what should i add?

2- for referee i have just two friends over 25 years , will be acceptable as referee as they are not professional .

3- i have settled status confirmation letter only will be this enough as proof for indefinite leave .

I will appreciate your prompt responses

Thanks

Hi all,
i have EEA Permanent Residence card and i got also settled status. my questions
My understanding of the process is that if you have both, i.e. PR and Settled Status, you need to use Settled Status as the basis of your application

1- on the online application it has section asking me to provide Biometric card details ? does this mean EEA residence card ?
if yes
then it asks to provide Expiry date ? my document doesn't have Expire date? what should i add?
Your answer schould be NO, EEA citizens don't have biometric cards.

2- for referee i have just two friends over 25 years , will be acceptable as referee as they are not professional .
No, stick with the requirements, one referee needs to be a "professional". Refer to pages 25 & 26 here "‘Acceptable professional persons’" : https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 2.0ext.pdf

3- i have settled status confirmation letter only will be this enough as proof for indefinite leave .
Yes plus the reference number (on the letter I assume).

I will appreciate your prompt responses

Thanks

It means any application, but clearly not your current one not yet submitted - if you just made the one application mention that.

This is the only and first application for citizenship, the only application i submitted to home office was to apply for EEA Residence card?
thats mean NO to this the Question?

I did proceeded with the application and i found required documents
1-f you spent some of that time in the UK as a student or as a self-sufficient person, and had comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI), a copy of your sickness insurance policy?
on form i must tick this box to proceed , however i never studied in the uk or had SIP. what should i provide why i was asked for it?

2-Evidence that you have been in the UK lawfully for your 3 or 5 year qualifying residence period. This should be evidence that you were here as a worker, student, self-employed, self-sufficient, retired or incapacitated person
i have only settled status( do i need to provide letter of my settled status?

Proof of living in the UK for ....for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen. what i need to provide again here settled status.

my last question if iam full time carer for disabled person, i am getting DLA only does this consider as Job , they ask what is your profession if i select employed i was required to provide taxes details . please note there's not tax details its kind of disability benefits.
sorry for lengthy questions but your help highly appreciated.

we don't have sight of all the screens - to be able to continue tick box, and where you can make additional comments, at the end I think, just say you didn't need it as an employee.

2-Evidence that you have been in the UK lawfully for your 3 or 5 year qualifying residence period. This should be evidence that you were here as a worker, student, self-employed, self-sufficient, retired or incapacitated person

Here you add official documents, such as your P60s for 5 years. P60s are sufficient.

Proof of living in the UK for ....for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen. what i need to provide again here settled status.
It would be your P60s again.

my last question if iam full time carer for disabled person, i am getting DLA only does this consider as Job , they ask what is your profession if i select employed i was required to provide taxes details . please note there's not tax details its kind of disability benefits.
sorry for lengthy questions but your help highly appreciated.
I assumed for #2 that you are employed .... were you never employed? You would need to select unemployed. If you never had a P60 as an employee then you need to provide other official documents, such as maybe your DLA advice for each year.

You need the P60s to prove your residence for 5 years.

Your PR and settled status are grantes under completely separate and independent rules with their own requirements than the laws, rules and requirements applicable to citizenship. Don't confuse the different processes and departments.

You need to include your Settled Status details.

You need to prove the five year's residency immediately preceding the citizenship application date (not any year) - for the gap you could include a council tax bill or your DLA award notification.

No worries, we've all been through a process that can be very confusing at times ...

Referees: A council employee as such is not a "professional", they need to work in particular fields, like accountants, lawyers. Your referee may qualify to be the second one. Suggest you check here for suitable professions: pages 25-26

EU citizens weren't required to give biometrics.

You simply state unemployed when you were unemployed. Nothing more.

Not familiar with the scenario - however you would have been unemployed so state as such (it's not an issue for naturalisation). Not sure why you get an P45 at the end of the claim.

You can scan and upload documents yourself free of charge.
The appointment is normally just for the biometrics.

The UKVI charge for biometrics is £19.20 which you have paid as part of your application.
UKVCAS (a company working for UKVI) can charge appointment fees (£60 - £200) though there are free slots available if you have the patience to wait for one....
