I am EU national. I moved to UK Jan 2012 and started work March 2012 (was waiting for NI number then looking for work). Was working continuously during this 5 years part and full time. I am applying as qualified person who is working.
Can I apply straight away once 5 years pass from the day I moved here (jan 2012) or from the day i started work (march 2012)?
Thank you very much for any replies

Proof of jobseeker status? (rock solid evidence)

I came here when I was 19 and applied for uni before I came so i thought I'm going to study mainly and didnt bother signing up for jobseekers, but then when i found job I changed my mind and refused to accept placement in uni when I was already working.

I have been told to use eea (pr) form which is 85pages. Couldn't fine smaller version of it. They also told me that there will be an online form from 03.30.16, but I didnt find it.
I have beem here dor 10 years now. I had a residence registry documents.
...
I dont rember fory all holiday dates in the pst 10/years..is that a failure?

Section 9.1 which is me? No or not applicable?
Thanks

Earlier, simpler form:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... 17223.html

Online form is a new sevice, google it.

If staying loyal to current, monster form, section 9 applies to the person who is the EEA natioanl who exercised treaty rights. In this case, that's you.
For absences, list month/year if you can't remember precise dates and did not keep records, booking details & etc.

But simplify your life, look at shorter form. See which floats your boat.

Hi!

Thank you for your help, You right, he other form is easy. Will do that i guess.
My only estion now, if my passport has expired can i still use it as a proof of identity, or i should not send it at all and use my ID card only?

If applying based on earlier years you need evidence relating to residence/absence for subsequent years to show that, if you had acquired PR, you did not lose it later.

Hello everyone,
Just came across this post.. might be helpful for most people, like myself, who normally request for passport return. This will save us from prolong wait for passport return after eea applications.

4 months wait, but happy times now!!

Last month before submission my contract ended, so I needed to submit printouts of job applications and a couple of emails where I was shortlisted for jobs, to show I was actively looking for work.
I also made my (ex) work place sign and stamp all my P60, since they only provide electronic copies.

This weekend I'm going to start applying for passport

Statutory pay. My wife was on pay for one year because of this.

Hi,

that's correct, it can be done in town hall, same place as nationality checking services for example in London..

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ter-london

then

https://www.islington.gov.uk/birth-deat ... itizenship

the cost is £15 (please check the website to see find out more in your local places)

Shame as this service is only for EEA national only, and for non-eea national have to request the document back after applying and that's after the payment is taken and not sure if it could also be requested once the biometric is done!!

Thanks,
Softy M

We are still working on PR form and also their documents and soon we going to send it. But I have questions, do I need to apply PR as well for my 2 kids? both of them still toddlers. I am planning to apply PR only for me and my husband, and in the form there is a question that I have to explain why my kids is not included in the application. Is there anyone can help me answers the question? It would be very helpful, if you can help me. Thank you

Where were children born?
For example, if they were fortunate enough to be born in UK (before you were settled) they don't need PR as once a parent is settled they may be registered as British citizens.
If you were already settled when they were born they will be British already.

Hi, both of them born in UK and have French Passport. Planning to apply British passport for them later after we have our PR. Is it ok if I don't included them in our application?

They don't need PR.
Depending on DoB they are either British now (shoot for passport);
or else entitled to register as soon as one parent acquires holy grail of PR; (apply passport later).

Allright then, thank you for your answers and wish me luck for the applications

That depends... Did she return to work after maternity leave? She could have retained her worker status based on the St Prix right.

Hi, I'm looking for some help with PR application and I hope you guys could do that.
Me and my husband (both Romanians) came in Britain September 2007 and started working as self employed straight away with an yellow card. Then in July 2009 my husband started to work as an employee with a blue card and had the same job until October 2015 when he started studying at college. We didn't took out comprehensive health insurance as we had no idea about it. If I make an application for PR card will they consider the years before he started studying or will they ask for the health insurance?
Has someone here been successful using the simple EEA3 form ?
Thank you very much in anticipation.

A RC is not a visa.

Applying '3 months early' is meaningless and does not apply.

Apply when you have acquired PR - not
before.

How long married?
How long in UK?
When did sponsor become a qualified person?
Any prolonged absences from UK?

Hi and welcome on board,

please use the below link for your request,
https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outrea ... ments.ofml

by the way now days EEA national can even use the new service when applying for their PR which is called (European Passport Return Service)
https://www.islington.gov.uk/birth-deat ... rn-service
that's just an example,but it can be in any local town hall for the cost of £15

You should have acquired PR last month then (5th wedding anniversary), assuming you were based in UK by then.

Spouse/sponsor should have acquired PR in 2014. If no DCPR suggest wife gets one (with all wild talk of Brexit and one thing and another).
