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

Annebee wrote:Currently competing this new encyclopaedia form can't believe HO is putting people through this . That's some massive form filled with repeated questions.

Ok .. I am divorced with ROR. On the form I am asked of my former spouse address, his status .

We last spoke april 2014 when he handed all his work docs . Since then I don't even know where he is or what he is upto, I shouldn't know anyway.

So , how can I write his current address, status , etc.

Should I leave the address blank and state why or write last known address which was his friends when he moved out. I don't know his status now. Should I just put down divorced?


I personally think this form wasn't properly designed to cover all cases. There should be option to say "I don't know " especially for those with ROR .

What do yo think anyone on the address and status question , should I write last known and divorced or leave blank?

Hi Annebee, I agree with you that the EEA PR application form is not well created. In my opinion you can either keep it blank or put the last known address of your ex-husband. If you put the last known address then I think it would make sense to write a personal statement to explain your situation including this question and, if any, other possible question(s) which is/are unclear. As you are divorced with ROR, I doubt that this question (your ex-partner's address) is the core part of your application at all.

I received a one page letter from Home Office this morning saying that "Thank you for the application on Form EEA(PR). It will now be passed to a casework unit to await consideration"

There is a reference number on the letter. Is this letter COA? Or COA is sent separately once the casework unit start working on the application? The letter does not say it's a certificate of application that's why I am not sure. Any opinion?

COA clearly says certificate of application.if this is written on it then its coa if not then wait for coa

hi,
My wife has been living in uk since 2009 so she eligible to apply PR. My question is if she get the PR can I apply for PR after two years being married? thanks

^ No, you are not entitled to a PR card after 2 years of marriage unless your wife falls into very special categories like she will be stopping work because of permanent incapacity, reaching pension age, or death.

Hi rajib4u, you would not be eligible to apply for PR after two years marriage.
Are you not living in the UK? If you are, how long have you been living in the UK?

I am an EEA NATIONAL extended family member (Cousin) working and living in Scotland, I moved down to Scotland while my EEA National family member resides in London. I was previously living with my EEA National family member in London and I moved to Scotland shortly after I was issued a 5 years Residence Card in July 2010 and have remained in Scotland since then. My EEA NATIONAL family member has resided in UK for over 15 years and already had a document certifying permanent residence issued to him in 2007 before I was given 5 years residence card in 2010. I humbly would like to seek your advise regarding this matter with the 2 questions below:

1. I would like to know if there is anything in the EEA regulation that might prevent me from being able to obtain my PR just because I have gone out to live in a different place within the UK and not in the same house with my EEA National family member?

2. Do I need to leave my work here in Glasgow and return to London to stay with my EEA National family member for the rest of the period left on my RC before I make application for my PR?

3. I claimed Job Seeker's Allowance for only seven weeks in 2010, will this also affect my PR application?

4. I claimed child benefit for about 7 months for my Daughter and her 2 younger brother and sister before their Mum was given ILR
in March 2011, can this also affect my application?

I will be interested in listening to your own experiences to help me prepare should there be any battle ahead.

please advice
Your response and enlightenment will be immensely appreciated.

Kind regards

Nelson

Hi,

I am sure one of the expert members would reply your question in more detail soon.
I think based on the Regulation 8 there are four kinds of extended family member and depends on which category you fall into?

1) a person who is a relative of an EEA national or his/her spouse or civil partner and who is financially dependent on the EEA national or is a member of his/her household, and who either (i) is accompanying the EEA national to the UK / wishes to join him there, or (ii) has joined him in the UK and continues to be dependent on him or to be a member of his/her household;

2) a person who is a relative of an EEA national or his/her spouse or civil partner and, on serious health grounds, strictly requires the personal care of the EEA national or his/her spouse or civil partner;

3) a person who is a relative of an EEA national and would meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules (other than those relating to entry clearance) for ILR as a dependent relative of an EEA national were the EEA national a person present and settled in the UK;

4) a person who is the partner of an EEA national (other than a civil partner) and can prove that he is in a durable relationship with the EEA national.

Regarding your questions
1. I would like to know if there is anything in the EEA regulation that might prevent me from being able to obtain my PR just because I have gone out to live in a different place within the UK and not in the same house with my EEA National family member?

I think your situation depends on which category of the above you fall into? If you fall into category number 2 (a person who is a relative of an EEA national or his/her spouse or civil partner and, on serious health grounds, strictly requires the personal care of the EEA national or his/her spouse or civil partner) and you moved to the UK to to care of your EEA family member then you might have serious problem if you have not notified / explained your situation to Home Office before you moved to Scotland.

2. Do I need to leave my work here in Glasgow and return to London to stay with my EEA National family member for the rest of the period left on my RC before I make application for my PR?

I do not think this is not necessary as you have already spent 5 years in Scotland. You need to make a really strong personal statement before you apply.

3. I claimed Job Seeker's Allowance for only seven weeks in 2010, will this also affect my PR application?

This is at the discretion of the home office.

4. I claimed child benefit for about 7 months for my Daughter and her 2 younger brother and sister before their Mum was given ILR
in March 2011, can this also affect my application?

This is at the discretion of the home office.

But again I am not an expert on this subject. One of the senior members/experts' reply would be more appropriate.

Has anyone applied for PR Card in January this year and received it?

Good morning everyone,

I received an email from Home Office saying that my application is under consideration now. I applied for PR card about 10 days ago.

Has anyone got any news on their applications recently? Please feel free to share your timelines...

Hi everyone,

I received my COA this morning. I think HO is processing the applications quicker this year as my friend received her PR card yesterday and she applied for it just last month!

Has anyone applied for Pr in the past week or so with card payment as payment option.

How long did it take HO to remove payment please

Annebee wrote:Has anyone applied for Pr in the past week or so with card payment as payment option.

I applied recently, it takes max 2 working days. Did you send your application by special delivery? If you can track the delivery day of your post (the date HO received your application) then you should give max 2 working days for the fee payment. About a week later you will receive a letter confirming that your application has been received and an email, if you provided one of course. And COA will be sent separately, about 10-14 days after your application received by HO.

Hello Everyone.
My Spouse (EU Citizen) will be sending her application (Application for a document certifying permanent residence or permanent residence card under the EEA Regulations). Do we need to send a Self Addressed Special Delivery Envelope with our Application so that they can send back the Documents/Passport? In the Application Form, so far, I have not seen anywhere that they have mentioned this.

Thanks all.

Hi takdeerwala, you do not have to include Self Addressed Special Delivery Envelope with your application. However, I would highly recommend you to include it with your application as you are going to send such important documents (passports, ID documents etc.) to Home Office. And they would send your documents back to you by 2nd class post (standard - non-trackable) unless you include a Self Addressed Special Delivery Envelope with your application. I hope this helps

I did send mine first class recorded, it got there the following day, and when they sent me back everything was second class signed for, so no problems there, no need to pay that much on special delivery.

Hi wegiwegi, how long did it take to receive everything back? Would you please share your timeline?

Has anyone applied for PR card and changed their address whilst their application was under consideration? The following form is a trial one https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outrea ... pdate.ofml

Is it enough to submit the new address via this form?

Any comment on this?

Hello wonderful people
first if all my apologies if im not posting in the right forum...But i kindly need advice on my urgent situation as im confused.
I am a stepchild to a retired German Stepfather who got married to my mother about 4 and half years ago (2010) and I recently joined them (Stepfather and Mother) on a family permit In Jan 2015. My Stepfather has lived in UK since 2004 and got his Permanent card in 2011 but he stopped working in 2012 because he became blind. Now my mother is due to Apply for Permanent Residence in few months along with mine.
So I did some reading on the processes because i wasn't sure on the type of form i will quantify under.

1. Since my Stepfather is retired now and my their marriage has lasted almost 5years, should I apply for permanent residence as direct family member along when my mother is apply her's too Or apply residence permit and still have to wait till after 5years

Because i read on the UK, EU regulations guidelines and it stated sometimes family members wont have to wait 5years in certain circumstances.

Thanks

Kobytee, you should start a thread of your own. This is a thread about filling in the PR form and sending it off.
