your husband won't be able to sponsor you as he became BC, When did you get married?
In my case I had RC before 2012 (when Dual national "EEA+BC" cannot sponsor family members anymore after Oct 2012) and then few years later my wife became BC and I was just lucky as my RC was based on my marriage in 2011!

did you have to register yourself when you came (EEA1 that time)? were you married to the same husband and sponsored by him before 2012?

also the worst scenario is to wait till your 5 years clock (being exercising treaty rights) is over and then apply for your PR on your rights, which you will still be okay!!

Hi there,
Not sure what's going on, I'm a bit lost as apparently "What the UK is offering EU citizens?"
All EU nationals lawfully resident for at least five years will be able to apply for "settled status" and be able to bring over spouses and children.
Those granted settled status will be able to live, work, study and claim benefits just as they can now
EU nationals in the UK for less than five years will be able to continue living and working in the UK
Once resident for five years, they will be able to apply for settled status
Those arriving after an as yet confirmed cut-off point will be able to stay temporarily in order to "regularise their status" but with no guarantees
EU citizens who are already permanent residents will need to re-apply
British courts will have jurisdiction over enforcing rights

Hi all,
As stated below is the timeline of my non- EEA PR (EEA4) application.

Non-EEA PR application sent In mid January 2017
Application received by the home Office the following day.
Received biometric letter 1 month later.
Certificate of application received in April 2017
Received my documents with my PR card in July 2017- after 5 months and 2 weeks of consideration.

My ex EEA spouse worked part time (I.e. 18 hours per week) for 3 years- she never paid tax/NI as her income was below the threshold.
I submitted all her pay slips/P60 for that period. Good documentation matters when making an application to the Home Office.

I am so happy, God has answered my prayer.
I wish my fellow members of this forum (I.e. those who are still awaiting a decision of their PR application) good luck.

Hello All, Done with filling my PR form as a non EEA and would just like to confirm that I don't have to include my evidence of work in the last 5years.I have gone through the guidance and as I understand,this is only required for RoR and unmarried PR application.

married or unmarried partners PR application like you call it are similar, it's all about your sponsor.
Your Sponsor PR is enough as it shows that she was exercising her treaty rights! However you haven't lost anything if you can add her P60s for that period or self assessment tax bills if self employed!

Hi guys, just wanted to share my timeline for PR:
Application received by HO: 12/05
PR received: 31/07

So, it took HO about 2.5 month to process it. I'm an EU national with 5+ years residency in the UK. First two month since my arrival I spent on looking for work (without registering with JobCentrePlus) and it didn't count towards 5 years; only the date of my first payslip was considered as the date of my becoming a 'qualified person'. I thought this might happen, that's why I've sent my application not after 5 years exactly, but waited 4 more month. I also had several breaks between jobs for about two month, and it didn't reflect the application (I've attached job application responds anyway).

Hope this helps.

Good luck everyone!

When I made my application it was rejected and my documents sent back because my ex's Id was not included. I sent them email telling them they are wrong to which they apologised and asked me to send it back for consideration.
This is the response from HO;

"I have looked in to your application and unfortunately it appears it was rejected in error. Can I ask you to send straight back in to me your application and documents please and it can then be reinstated.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hello

Could someone please help here. I made my application for PR on 25-Jun-2017, documents received 03-Jul and so far nothing else have happened. No payment taken from my account, no letter for biometric data, nothing. Called their UKVI office a couple of time and they say to wait for home office to contact you and so far nothing again. Any idea what can I do? Thank you

Hey Ya,

Could someone please help me. I am a EEA national applying for PR. I have been working in the UK for basically 6 year. When they say you have to be working continuous during that period, what happens if you quit your job to find another job? This was the case for me in 2013, when i left my job in August 2013 and found a new job by October 2013. I was basically unemployed for 2 and a half months. I was not a job seeker, did not receive any government money. I have enough money to support myself for awhile. Will this effect my PR application as I am going to apply as a EEA worker as thats what I've been doing for all my time, bar that 2 and a half month gap in employment. If someone could give me some advice on this, let me know if this could hold up my application, or if they understand you can leave one job for another.

any advice would be appreciated.
Basically you will need email history of your job applications or any responses from the employers or job agencies during 2 and half period of concern. basically that proves you were looking for job and excercising treaty rights. At least 2 or 3 your sent emails/ responses should be fine.

Hi all,

I have been trying to read through the thread to see if someone had a similar problem to mine but couldn't find anything.

My issue in a nutshell: I've been living and working here since 2006 but I was not registered WRS so I was working continuously from summer 2006 to 30th April 2011 'illegally'. I've had numerous jobs before the below but the relevant ones are:
1st job Jan 2011 - Dec 2013
2nd job Jan 2014 - Mar 2016
3rd job Mar 2016 - present

So ever since the 30th April 2011 passed and I'm not being penalised by the lack of WRS number I've worked 6.5 years fully legally however the first 4 month of '1st job' was still under the WRS system and I don't have a registration.

When I try to complete the online form of the PR card for EEA it asks me why I didn't have a registry and on the last confirmation page it asks me to tick in the box next to providing WRS details but I do not have that.

My dilemma is: will the Home Office automatically reject my application as I wasn't registered in the first 4 months of my first job or will they understand that I'm actually providing them evidence of 100% 'legal' work for the last 6.5 years?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

I had a similar situation to you, and was approved. I've actually been here since 2007, but never had WRS and was initially a student - which I stated in my application as honestly no one really told me about WRS, no one ever asked for it, etc.

My job history is:

Irrelevant jobs: September 2007 - Feb 2011
Job 1: Feb 2011 - June 2012
Job 2: June 2011 - Present.

I applied with all info and explaining this, and they counted my "qualifying period" of 5 years from April 2011 - in Fact, they counted it from the 5th of April 2011, even though I technically should have had WRS until the 30th.

So they're likely to not count those 4 months toward your "qualifying period", but for me they did count the rest of that employment. So long as you were honest that you didn't have WRS, and write to them about why you didn't have it (didn't know about it, or whatever) you ought to be fine.

Hi all,

I have been trying to read through the thread to see if someone had a similar problem to mine but couldn't find anything.

My issue in a nutshell: I've been living and working here since 2006 but I was not registered WRS so I was working continuously from summer 2006 to 30th April 2011 'illegally'. I've had numerous jobs before the below but the relevant ones are:
1st job Jan 2011 - Dec 2013
2nd job Jan 2014 - Mar 2016
3rd job Mar 2016 - present

So ever since the 30th April 2011 passed and I'm not being penalised by the lack of WRS number I've worked 6.5 years fully legally however the first 4 month of '1st job' was still under the WRS system and I don't have a registration.

When I try to complete the online form of the PR card for EEA it asks me why I didn't have a registry and on the last confirmation page it asks me to tick in the box next to providing WRS details but I do not have that.

My dilemma is: will the Home Office automatically reject my application as I wasn't registered in the first 4 months of my first job or will they understand that I'm actually providing them evidence of 100% 'legal' work for the last 6.5 years?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!
I had a similar situation to you, and was approved. I've actually been here since 2007, but never had WRS and was initially a student - which I stated in my application as honestly no one really told me about WRS, no one ever asked for it, etc.

My job history is:

Irrelevant jobs: September 2007 - Feb 2011
Job 1: Feb 2011 - June 2012
Job 2: June 2011 - Present.

I applied with all info and explaining this, and they counted my "qualifying period" of 5 years from April 2011 - in Fact, they counted it from the 5th of April 2011, even though I technically should have had WRS until the 30th.

So they're likely to not count those 4 months toward your "qualifying period", but for me they did count the rest of that employment. So long as you were honest that you didn't have WRS, and write to them about why you didn't have it (didn't know about it, or whatever) you ought to be fine.
Thank you so much for your help, I will give it a try then!

Hello there,

We had exaclty the same situation where my wife registered twice with in a month with 2 different employment agencies and then she was taken on permanent through second employment agency.
here is our situation .

1. she applied her PR in 2013 when she included her employment from 2006 (Under WRS). it was rejected as according to WRS regulations u have to stay with one employer for full one year and then u change your job but agencies you know one day work 5 days off....

2. we applied second time her PR now, but all qualifying periods are after 2011 which is fine dont need WRS.

3. what u can do is say NO online that u never had a WRS and explain in cover letter that none of employer ever asked for it>

this is what we have done this time and hope for the best. we are waiting for the outcome of the application.

thing is you cant lie to home office. it is what it is.

so tell the truth and explain in cover letter that all of your qualifying periods are after WRS.

Good Luck :)
