It's not actually necessary to complete that section at all. To make your life easier (as you are both EEA citizens), have a look at this form instead: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12881670/eea3_simple_v2.pdf Since 18th March 2016, there is a new form: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s...

Is wife applying in own right? As a BC you can't sponsor her anymore except in special circumstances. We apply using my EU citizenship, as I'm also EU citizen and that's how she was allowed to enter the country as NON-EEA national. I'm her sponsor for the purpose of PR application. The devil is in ...

We apply using my EU citizenship, as I'm also EU citizen and that's how she was allowed to enter the country as NON-EEA national. I'm her sponsor for the purpose of PR application.

Hi There I'm EU national (got naturalised 2 years ago but still hold my EU nationality). My wife needs to apply next week for PR after living in the UK 5 years (she originally got the EEA Family permit). The form is long and tedious as many of you know (85 pages), and there is a requirement there to...

Congrats to everyone who got theirs back so far. I've applied on 3rd December and still haven't got mine. Strangely enough there are applications which were made 2 weeks after mine and already got approval.

It does seems to speed things up for applications, considering many who applied without PR still didn't get their citizenship approved yet. I personally applied over a month ago (with PR) and still haven't got mine back, although there people who applied on the same day as me and already got their a...

Hi Everyone my wife is EEA national and she hold PR from last 1 years which mean she don't need to prove her treaty rights again ( if n not wrong) the guy said did you bring your P60 for 5 years to prove treaty rights and i said we don't need because we already hold PR and he said its better to hav...

Seems like the money is taken on average 7 days after they get the application. And then there couple of applicants who had their case decided within a further 7 days.

Hi my wife is EEA national we have PR stickers and now we are going to apply naturalisation applications soon. I just want to find out how we can cover her 12 months period that she was physical present in Uk because she was working abt 7 months rest of this time she was looking after our child or ...

Thanks slough_Boy, I also thought they were misleading me and putting me into extra pressure for no reason. I did submit my British Citizenship application 12 months+2 days after the issuance date on the blue PR card. However, when I submitted my application I did fill in questions 2.4 - 2.6 and na...

You could have googled the List of acceptable referees: https://www.gov.im/media/624353/listofreferees.pdf

You can't use both of them since they are related.

As long as the application processed at the same pace, I won't complain.

Seems like they are taking now the money much quicker than before. It took them a week since they got my application, while in previous months I can see on average 14-20 days between application and the date of debit.

Hi, I would need a bit of advice on what to do with my application. History: - Am German national, 7 years resident in the UK, never any issues (not even a speeding ticket!) - I applied through NCS in Bristol on the 23 June (!) 2014 for citizenship. All went smoothly, all documents correct, a strai...

you are right, under EU law you do not have to be employed all the time to be exercising treaty rights however i hear all the time that NCS requires this of people and turns them away Indeed, the issue with mine was that I didn't have all payslips , some were missing, but I used the very same evide...

I 've booked an appointment with NCS next week to submit a ''family application'' for BC, Please advise on the best and most secure method of payment for large amounts !! Thanks in advance You can pay by either Debit Card/ Credit Card or Cheque. Please see the relevant fees and the payment slip you...

Strange to see the waiting times of some people here, while people who applied in Mid-October already got their approval.

The only explanation that can be is that there might be some nationalities which are being discriminated, and they delay processing their applications.
