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

The law changed in November 2015, automatic PR doesn't count anymore, you need a physical PR paper.

Don't make the mistake of thinking you have to "apply for PR" or wait a year. PR is gained automatically regardless of whether you apply for proof of it or not, and depending on how long you have held PR before you apply for the document, there may be no need to wait at all before applying for citizenship.

If my June 2010 date is the date than I have completed my PR status in 2015. Meaning I will have hold it for a year this year in June. Surely they will take take the date of 5+1 for BC rather than 'when pr conf was issued' + 1.

Thanksohara- yes that's the post I've read:)

Yes that's exactly how it works. The PR certificate doesn't show the date you gained PR, only the date it was issued, but the Home Office computer system has the information stored so they can check it (which they have to do).

That's not true, the law changed last year

You're right. So the PR document is still required but it's not the issue date that determines the 12m period.

Nailed it

Hey folks - I've sent my EEA (EU) application last week with a ton of supporting documentation, but I've now only just realised that besides my current address, there was no request to list any previous addresses in the 5-year period (and I've had three). Did I miss something? I guess what I'm asking is that while I would have expected to have been asked to give the addresses of where I lived since I entered the UK, I was in fact... not. Having said that, my bank statements show the addresses over the past five years.

This might be a non-issue really. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something. Fingers crossed for the document to be issued by March!

Which form did you use?

EEA(PR)

You haven't missed anything, there is no section to list previous addresses on there

Will keep you updated with the rest of the timeline.

Hi, could you please confirm how the payment is shown in your bank statement? I had my payment taken last week, but the bank statement only says EURO Liverpool, there is no reference number. I wanted to request sponsors passport back, but not sure what payment reference to include (and there is no application number yet). Also did you receive any invoice/ email confirmation? Thanks a lot!

EURO Liverpool as well- no reference number or case number
No email confirmation yet

It showed up on my statement like this:

11 Dec 15 EURO LIVERPOOL GB CD XXXX DEB 65.00

The XXXX was the last 4 digits of my card number.

Exactly 3 weeks later I got an email:

Thank you Both (medlence and Ohara)! Will be waiting for the email then... Ohara, did you request only the sponsor passport or main applicant as well? I want to request my passport back for travelling, but it's for leisure so not sure if I can ask for it back without terminating my application? Thank you

You can ask for it back, just select NO when it asks if you want to withdraw your application. I was the main applicant with mine, no sponsor. I needed my passport back so I could do the English test at Trinity College, they got it back to me pretty quickly when I asked. It came with a letter which I assume which I assume is generic, as it said something about asking for it so I could travel, which obviously wasn't the case.

Great, thanks Ohara! Will just wait to receive the case number...

Hi

I am in the process of applying for an EEA Document Certifying Permanent Residence .
We are ( myself and my 3 daughters ) all EEA nationals but I think the EAA PR form is misleading.
Should I use one form for all of us or one form per person ? which sections should I use for my children ?
We have no sponsor as we all are qualified EEA persons.
Two of my daughters are under 21 years and one of them is over 21 years old.
Alle of them are students and I am working.

I hope one can help
Many thanks in advance .


Regards
Kowthar

Hey - just checking up on something regarding the case ID. I still haven't received my confirmation email, but a reference of sorts came up on my card statement today. It starts with 'EA' and then a string of 13 numbers. Does that look like a case ID to you?

Unlikely. The case ID will be in the confirmation email they send you. Mine came 3 weeks after they took the payment.

Hello,

I hope someone could solve my dilemma re: the EEA PR application and it's supporting documents.

I am a Lithuanian national who moved to the UK June 2010.

In 2010 August I started looking for work and also worked a few days before I started my University course which was what I came to the UK for.

Whilst studying full time I was also working part time throughout the duration of the first few years of my residence in the UK. I did contact HO to ask whether full time study and full time work after that would be ok for the qualified period. I was told it would be ok but I would need to submit proof of the Comprehensive Sickness Insurance. I then told the person on the phone that I did not have that because I was working at the same time. Everything would be ok but I DID NOT register for the Workers Registration Scheme which was then a requirement to be able to work. I thought if I was a full time student I would have been allowed to work anyway.

So basically to cut it short -

If I went the worker's route, I would not be able to count the time of working until 2011 April when the requirement of WRS was removed.

But because I was student from 2010 it should be ok.. The problem is that I did not have a CSI because I was working.

So basically the situation contradicts itself because I was a student without the sickness insurance but I was working so I did not have to have it but from what I understand now I would have not been able to work at the time because I did not register for the Workers Registration Scheme.

Do you think it would still be ok If I submitted prove of my studying along with the employment details as wage slips and bank statements to prove my self funding whilst in studying but not having the CSI because I was working which I should have not because of the WRS?

The problem is that each route (student and worker) helps each other out but there does not seem to be one route I could follow because as I said before I worked without the WRS and studied without CSI.

I hope I explained it properly! Will appreciate any response!!! Thank you!!

Got two PR certificates today for my wife and myself, results! Here is a quick summary and timeline.
We are both French in the UK for about 15 years. We decided to apply for British citizenship so the PR applications are for that purpose ultimately. We made sure we applied with a qualifying period ending 1 year before our BC application. For practical reasons (documents easier to assemble), we chose 2007-2012 (adding a few months on both end to make a clear cut 5-y period). We made sure to demonstrate we were not absent more than 2 years after 2012 by adding proofs of residence for 2012-2015. We filled two separate EEA PR forms so we had two separate case IDs. However, I sent both forms together and filled only one payment form for £130. This I did following advice from HO helpline. A good half of the supporting documents were valid for both applications, ie council tax invoices with both names. I kept the bundle of docs tight but probably sent around 100 sheets altogether.
Applications received 18/12/2015
Payment taken 21/12/2015
Confirmation email (only one email to my wife, did not get one for me) 11/01/2016
PR certificates issued 02/02/2016
PR certificates and all supporting documents (nothing missing) 06/02/2016
So altogether 7 weeks and that's including the Christmas and New Year period, not bad.
