Guys I am thinking of informing my Local MP, any advise please?
If it's past 6 months, I think you've got nothing to lose! Maybe if all the MPs start getting annoyed with this they'll become a bit more interested in seeing some action taken.

If you need help to find out exactly which MP is yours, you can find details here: https://www.writetothem.com/ Most tend to have a website or some online presence you can start initial contact from.

EEA FAMILY MEMBER APPLICATION FOR NATURILISATION

Post by obulorgeorge » Tue Feb 17, 2015 4:00 pm

HELLO EVERYONE

I AM A FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EEA NATIONAL FOR MANY YEARS AND I WANT TO APPLY FOR NATURILISATION.

I WAS ISSUED WITH A RESIDENT CARD JANUARY 2008
IT EXPIRED DECEMBER 2012
I WOULD LIKE TO APPLY FOR PR BUT MY WIFE WHO IS THE EEA NATIONAL DID NOT COMPLETE HER TREATY RIGHTS FOR 5 YEARS
DUE TO FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE BRING UP 4 CHILDREN.

BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST 7 GOING TO 8 YEARS NOW AND HAVE EXCEEDED THE 6 YEAR THAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR EEA NATIONALS OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO MEET BEFORE QUALIFING FOR NATURILISATION.

I WILL JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN REALLY APPLY FOR NATURILISATION ON MY OWN RIGHT AFTER LEGAL RESIDENCE FOR MORE THAN 6 YEARS WITHOUT THE MY EEA NATIONAL.

This topic is only for Processing times.
Please start new topic. anyhow.
> your residence card (EEA2) is based on ur wife exercising treaty rights if she cease exercising treaty rights your residence card automatically revoked.
> you did not apply ur PR as ur wife was not exercising treaty rights and u wana apply after six years , my friend there is a big barrier either you apply PR after 5 years or u apply naturalization after 6 years, U MUST NEED TO SHOW UR WIFE WAS A QUALIFIED PERSON BY exercising treaty rights, i do not see a chance .
> yes , u can apply ur own only if u hold PR sticker for at least 12 months that u do not have.
> if u see AN form u can read , u need to submit 5 years proof (exercising treaty rights) of ur EU spouse if u do not hold PR card.
> if u give me some more info, may be there is a way out.
What is the nationality of ur wife?
for how long long she has been living in UK?
did she exercised treaty rights for ANY continues period of 5 years ?
and
Im not sure, if u can apply on ur own after 10 years of residence but u need to be legal at least 10 years the ILR /

So I noticed that some cases receive the approval without an acknowledgement. Is this common?
