Hi matinuk2

Sorry I wasn't trying to put you off. Just thought it might be of interest to you.

I missed the fact that he did not mention the points on his application.

I wish you the best of luck. Let us know how you get on.

Hi matinuk2

Please see the sticky topic for naturalisation timeline, page 211. Someone in the same situation as you, more or less.

Sorry, your chances do not look good.

Hi London-er Sorry to hear about the trouble your friend is having. I think your friend has been given the wrong information. If you refer to Guide AN on page 5 where it talks about the EEA nationals. The guide states: 'New immigration regulations came into force on 30 April 2006. If you are a natio...

I applied by Check & Send on 30 April. Got a letter and my supporting documents back a week ago. Had my interview Tuesday morning and received my passport today. So from start to finish it took 20 days.

Hope this helps.

Hello there Just wanted to share my experience when I was in a similar situation. I went away on a short trip (4 days) 1 month before my 5 year residence card expired. When I checked in at the airport on the return leg, the airline staff started giving me loads of hassle about having less than 6 mon...

Hi Nellis23 The other posters are right. I have just been granted British Citizenship, which now makes me a tri-national. I submitted both my passports at the time of application and there were no questions asked. However, they only recorded one of my nationalities on the list at the Citizenship Cer...

Hi everyone Had my citizenship ceremony today. Everything went well until I came home and read the forms that were included in the pack the council provided. The voter's registration form was enclosed with a freepost envelope. I filled this out when I got home. That is when I saw on the form that th...

Hi nagshead Yes, all they took were our passports + marriage certificate and the Life in the UK certificate. When I booked the appointment I didn't ask them what I needed to bring because I was preparing to take everything with me anyway. I still had all the supporting documents for our EEA3 & 4 app...

Hi Minnie77 (Mandy) I used my date of marriage + 5 years. My husband and I had been in the UK for some time before we got married. Not sure about if you got married before you moved to the UK. I'm guessing the date you get here + 5 years would be the one to use if the EEA spouse started exercising t...

I completed my 5 years in October 2008. It took 9 months to get the PR stamp (June 2009). I submitted my application via NCS last week and there was no problem about the PR sticker being less than 12 months old. I am waiting to see how my case progresses. On a different post, another member was succ...

I submitted my application via NSC last week. I had no issue with explaining the PR stamp being less than 12 months old as the lady rang HO and they confirmed this was ok. The only documents they phtocopied (and they rang Home Office to check this) were: 1. My passport covering the last 5 year perio...

Hi Dimas I sent off the EEA4 application to Liverpool early October. (My husband applied for EEA3 at the same time) Sent a complaint email to them at the end of May at which time they requested further information and I received my PR at the end of June. So 9.5 months all together. I will give the N...

I plan to apply by post as I have a feeling that I might have a problem doing ...
