Hi everyone, Once again coming to this very helpful forum to look for advise. I applied for British Citizenship (biometrics appointment today) together with my 5yr old daughter. The facts are: - I'm a non-EEA national who is EU settled in UK since Jan 2021 (previously with a Residence Card since 201...

Thank you for the answer! Much appreciated

Hi people, (sorry i was writing my post and press submit by mistake...here it goes again) First if all sorry if this has been asked millions of times before. I have gone through 30 pages of this subject/topic and couldn't make my mind with an answer. I have an idea but a confirmation from one of the...

Any more news today? Final update in my case. Received decision letter today together with all my documents (didn't send any special envelope). The letter doesn't state when I acquired the PR status. It does state when their decision was made and this was on July 13th. How do I know when I can apply...

I have an italian friend who recently got citizenship and passport and she had to do both, english and uk life test so with that in mind, I guess as a non-EEA I considered a fact that I had to do it too.
Maybe the eeu law gurus here can provide some official info?

Thank you all.
I think now it's time to start thinking in the citizenship process + english test + bla bla bla..
Stay strong guys, this week should be the one hopefully for all of January applicants.
Crossing fingers for tomorrow for you all.

Hi everyone! Finally my desperation has come to an end. I received my PR today and all good. The decision letter has not arrived yet nor my documents. The PR is dated 13th JUL. Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences here and sharing the wait, it's good to know we are not alone. Good luck ev...

No news here either.
Congrats to the people who received theirs last week.
The HO have 2 days to keep my process within the law.
Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Congrats euuksl!
Still waiting here. I so wish I did send a special envelope so I could track it.
Anyway, good luck today for all those still waiting.

Great news Fatima. Enjoy your freedom again
I'm really hoping to get some news this week or max next week.
I can feel the desperation growing as days pass by.
Good luck all!

Hi guys, I believe I belong to this group. I'm a Non-EEA applicant married with an EEA citizen. Both living and working full time and continuously in UK since Oct 2008. My time line is as follows: PR application sent: 20 JAN 2016 Biometric letter received: 08 FEB 2016 Biometric submitted: 09 FEB 201...

Thanks for the reply Bumble. I have waited 6 months already, I guess I can wait another 2 weeks :) Regarding my last question, what really happens with family members (Non EEA NAtionals) of EEA Nationals who are refused permanent residence? Do they lose their right to stay in UK as a family member? ...

Hi all, Once again I come back to this great website as it always offered invaluable help and information. I have in Jan 16 applied for a PR as a family member of an EEA National (I'm a Non-EEA national). I have lived and worked in UK under that status since 2009 and my partner has lived and been a ...

For EEA citizens it's a vignette that is just stuck on a piece of card and it looks like this: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/706/21077957928_31febd8b53.jpg . For non-EEA citizens it is a biometric card which looks like this: http://www.mzv.cz/public/f6/a3/b1/1584260_1362370__2015_Residence_Card_of...

Does the PR come in the passport or is it separate like in a card?

Hi, just a quick question. When you asked for your passports back, did you have in the letter that came with it a line saying "do not send your documents back to the home office unless requested"? I have that line in my letter and I'm a bit confused. I needed my passport in order to get my new born ...

Hi Vinny, Thank you for your answer. I guess I can apply straight away and there is no need for me to wait until my actual EEA2 residence card expires, is that correct? Just asking because I read here someone mentioned that it is not possible to apply until 28 days before the expiry date of your cur...

Hi Jambo,

Thanks for the answer.

Hi guys, I come back once more to this really helpful website to ask for your help and advice on my case. I am a non-EEA National and I arrived to UK in Nov 2009 to join my wife (EEA citizen). I used a Family Permit (as a family member of an EEA citizen) which gave me the entry clearance to UK. This...
