For naturalisation you cannot choose your qualifying period. You need to provide relevant details for the five years working back from the naturalisation application date. It's an online process only now, you can upload additional documents. Note, it's not a repeat of the PR application, just provi...
I think I got most of the facts correct but I would like to confirm those with people of greater knowledge. I received my Permanent Residency card dated 6th April 2010 In the past I've applied for the Citizenship in 2014 based on 2008-2014 and got rejected because of the 2009-2011 WRS extension deba...
H Guys! I got my permanent residence document today. It says that I acquired permanent residence in the UK on 6th April 2010. The document itself was issued on 10th October Then when I went to read more about naturalisation (Guide_AN_Naturalisation_Booklet) I have noticed this paragraph: If you appl...
Recently I sent my PR application for the period 2010-2015, which will hopefully be accepted now since the lack of WRS between 2009-11 can't be a reason to decline any longer. I am having troubles understanding what and how to do things next if my application is successful. The background: OCT 2006 ...
I've just installed the app, in order to submit my application for Settled Status but the automatic check returned that I haven't lived in the UK for 5 years. It is true as I came back in February but I lived here 12 years before. I haven't been away from the country for more than two years. Is it n...
I will definitely write the covering letter. Thank you. I have two more questions: 1. My first application was rejected based on the 2009-11 WRS extension fiasco and even though I sent a reconsideration letter proving that a judge ruled this extension unlawful they still said I didn't exercise my tr...
Thank you for all your help - it is getting clearer every day. I am still not quite clear on the residence evidence. I mean I will have WRS (just not between 09-11) and P45s and P60s for other periods (with some gaps, let's say the 2010-11 turned out to be the showstopper for my citizenship applicat...
Hi, I left 14th April 2017 and came back 2nd February 2019, so yes indeed less than 2 years. I started application for PR but I saw some information about accession period being 2004-2011 so not sure if they will accept it. I just need to find my WRS number and send online application. They didn't a...
I started online application for PR and I'm at the step where it shows the accession periods and in A8 it does show 2011. I need to find my WRS now in order to give it to them but shouldn't that 2011 be changed to 2009?
Hi, I will try to keep this short. I arrived in the UK in 2006 (from Poland) and stayed in the UK until 2017. I applied for citizenship in 2015 for the period 2008-2014 but I was told that during the extension period 2009-11 I wasn't enlisted in WRS (Worker Registration Scheme). Even though this ext...
Hi, I used to live in the UK for 10.5 years but have been absent for almost 2 years. I came back for a job in London but obviously I won't be able to apply for Settled Status. I can't find details about pre-settled status. What are the limits on when and for how long you can leave the country to kee...
Hi, I lived in the UK for over 10 years i.e., September 2006 - April 2017 I tried to apply for naturalisation but was rejected due to lack of entry in the WRS between 2009-2011 (even though the extension was deemed unlawful) so they said the earliest I can apply is September 2011. Decided not to wai...
Thank you enormously. I already sent the request for National Insurance, and next week I'll send the employment request form. I assume once I receive confirmation fro HMRC that will be enough proof, with my other documentation to submit my PR request?
Hmm unfortunately I don't have any other work-related documents from that period as it was only two months.. 23/08 - 05/09 this is the period where I left my job because of death of my mum and on 22nd I got another job but I postponed the start date to get myself straight. I hope I don't have to pro...
I don't have P45 because that employer was the same that didn't care to register me for WRS etc. - in other words, despite being a "businesswoman" she didn't care about the little things. Basically my P60 for year 2011-2012 is lower in terms of tax paid than it should be.. the employer doesn't exis...

Also do you know how long do they keep the ID/Passport for? It's such a hassle with getting new ID so I would give them my passport but if they keep it for few months then I can't travel..
Thanks for all the replies. Yes I remember about the 12-month period unfortunately. I have been refused the citizenship once due to lack of registration under WRS with one of the employers during the extension that probably not many people knew about :) Yes I have been working continuously for the l...
Another thing I forgot to add.. Just like on Citizenship application they require to know all the details about absences. Do I need to provide it from the moment I entered the UK (as specified earlier in the application, same section) or only starting from the classifying period of my 5-year residen...
