The 5 year period is counted from the wedding date/arrival to the UK (whatever happened later). The 5 year RC simply confirms the right of residence via EEA route and its date of issue is irrelevant.
Maybe you can pass as self-sufficient during those 7 months? For that you had to hold CSI (comprehensive sickness insurance) while self sufficient. I believe that you are required to hold CSI during the time as a student as well.
If your baby has your EEA nationality and the passport, you do not need any residence cards for her/him. If the baby only has a non-EEA nationality, you might have to get a 5-year residence card via EEA2 in order to facilitate travel. When you obtain your PR status after exercising EU Treaty rights ...
Your list of documents sounds good. I think you don't have to send your proof of employment but it cannot harm as an additional proof of continuous residence.
Actually, after 5 years under EEA rules she can apply for Permanent Residence Card by filling in the EEA4 form. She does not absolutely have to obtain the PR card as the PR status is obtained automatically under EEA rules, but she still might want to do it to facilitate travel and work. 1 year after...
Well, you will have to send the documents that you would have sent for the EEA4 previously. There is a section in the application for British Citizenship that covers this -- they basically ask you what you and your EEA sponsor have been doing in the previous 6 years.
You can apply straight for British Citizenship (after 6 years in the UK if your wife has been continuously exercising EU treaty rights during that period ) without applying for PR card via EEA4. However you will have to prove that you have acquired PR status at least 12 months prior to your BC appli...
If your baby was born before you received your naturalisation certificate, then you need to prove that you were holding ILR/PR at the time of baby's birth. In any case, you can send a joint family passport application where relevant documents are shared among applicants.
Finally received my passport today! This is the end of my immigration journey. Many thanks to everybody contributing useful info to this great forum, and special thanks to the moderators and the gurus! Passport for: 1 Adult and 2 Children Application Type: New / First time Method of application: Pos...

There is no condition to be free from immigration time restrictions for at least 12 months (like for those whose are not British spouses), which means that you can apply as soon as you obtain your PR status.
@pieface I am afraid you won't be able to use the EEA route to bring your mother to the UK due to the law change in July 2012 -- since then dual EEA/British nationals are treated as solely British. Please somebody correct me if I am wrong.
Hi Must the non EEA acquire residence first or the EEA acquire BC first? Thanks If you obtained your 5 year residence card before July 2012, then you will profit from transitional arrangements for the family members of dual EEA/British nationals and the residence status of the non-EEA national will...
Passport for: Adult Application Type: First time (naturalised citizen) Method of application: PO Check & Send Date of application: 21/05/2014 Date application received by IPS (post tracking): 23/05/2014 SMS received: 26/05/2014 Date of receipt of interview letter: 20/06/2014 Date of return of docum...
I got email from HM that "A letter to arrange an interview appointment has been posted to your home address". Does anybody know, how long it takes? It took 2 days in my case. If you are in a hurry to make an interview appointment, you don't have to wait for the letter to arrive -- just call the gen...
Finally an update! On Monday I received a phone call from the passport office case worker who wanted to check if I want to have my title included on the passport. He said that he was dealing with my children's applications as well. And two days later we received both children's passports and my inte...
I posted the application for First Adult on 20th May, just received letter (16/06) stating I had not completed whole form. I checked online form and no questions regarding parents but manual form does. I think given the media reports they will try to find faults in applications to be able to state ...
Thanks for your post asadulla. I sent my application (together with kids) on May 2nd, SMS received on May 8th, still no interview letter or kids' passports. Called there last week, was also told that it is under examination. I wish us good luck!
PLEASE HELP Civil Partnership Oct/08 Residence Card received May/09 Permanent Residence Card received June/14 Does that mean I can apply for British Citizenship on the basis that I automatically became a 'permanent resident' immediately after Oct/13 (5 years after the ceremony)? It says I must have...
Since July 2012 dual British/other EEA nationals are treated as solely British. This means that you cannot rely on your husband's Italian citizenship to use the EEA route into the UK (unless, to my understanding, you already held an EEA family permit before the rules changed). So unless your husband...
Liverpool Office seems to have a big backlog at the moment. Anyone here sent their application to Liverpool? Could you please share a contact telephone number of the Liverpool Office if you have one -- thanks in advance!
Yet another article on the passport applications backlog: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/13/passport-office-predicted-summer-surge-year-ago There seem to be two reasons for the current delay in processing passport applications: 1. Home Office closed passport desks at overseas embassies...
Does anyone have a direct number of the Liverpool passport office? I applied for the first passports (1 adult, 2 children) 4 weeks ago and neither have received an interview appointment letter nor got our documents back. Or should I rather try the 0300 number? Many thanks.
