Post office tried to confuse us with their checks at first so i decided to send it without their checking. they claimed that I with a dot is not acceptable and using tipp-Ex on a non used box that was crossed out will also be rejected; let wait and see Might be accepted, but they're not wrong. The ...
Hi... Cheque payment never declines,,,, If correct signature have been used as was on your account and you have the necessary fund I paid via cheque and it was cleared....I think it is the safe option. Rehan - I think you'd agree since the person asked how to even write out a cheque that the safer ...

Hi, I am applying for the naturalization (5yrs WP +1yr ILR) and i want to change my son's (7yr old) name before that. All his indian PP and visa has the original names and i want to cut the lenghty name into to shorter (First &Last names). If i change his via deed poll before Naturalization applica...
Don't worry. It's fine. Many forum members have applied with just the sticker without providing treaty rights evidence. You don't need to prove anything to NCS. If they are not familiar with the rules, ask them in the appointment to call the HO to verify. If asked when booking the appointment wheth...
Yes - he said that EU passports "aren't a good record of residence because of that" .. but then I told him that mine only had two entry stamps - which themselves weren't "legal" -- but he didn't seem concerned. I got the feeling (esp w/ them accepting a scanned & emailed letter from an employer) tha...
Andrej, I think I remember you from awhile back. :) I'm also about to apply for citizenship and have the same exact concern .. I addressed it to Jambo in an earlier thread. If you've since attended your NCS appointment and been successful I'd like to know. :) Heey seputus buddy... I remember you. M...
Don't worry. It's a common mistake. People tend to interchange the two terms as if they are one (just check the ILR forum and you will see many people state they have PR). For the purpose of the requirement for naturalisation, they are the same thing (free from immigration control). Thanks... hope ...
Yes assuming that "obtain PR" you mean obtain the PR confirmation vignette in the passport (the status itself is obtained automatically). With the PR sticker there is no need to provide any EEA related evidence if applying 12 months after the sticker date. Jambo, I've been reading through "EEA4 / N...
:) I have to say.. I had mixed messages from all IOs when I had an EEA2 stamp .. but since receiving my EEA4 sticker, every IO (which I've come to through the UK/EU channel) has looked at it, swiped my passport, sometimes asked me if I'm still living in the UK (which is ok), once asked me if I'm sti...
Hello all First thank you very much! if you can share from your knowlage I will be very grateful. i am an unmarred partner of a EEA citizen exersaiting her trithy rights in the uk for the lest 6 years. I am on a residence card visa and have been in the lest five years. We are planing to apply for a...
Hi Josh, I'm still not convinced an appeal is the right route since the UKBA don't seem to have incorrectly made a decision. e.g. to take this to the extreme, if you submitted all required evidence, but left out your passports and they refused you, an appeal should not be accepted since the UKBA was...
Josh, I think the others have figured out what the problem was - but I'd like to emphasize it. The evidence you submitted seems only good enough if you were simply trying to prove residence and treaty rights. This is fine when you're applying as a bona-fide family member of an EU national, as the EU...
As to when you can apply, you can apply as soon as you have your fifth year wedding anniversary as it is at that point which you acquire permanent residence.
Ahh.. good link Mr. Directive! Even better, from within this manual: 5.2 Endorsing the passports of residence card holders - Regulation 11(3) A Border Force officer may not place a stamp in the passport of a person who holds a residence card when he is admitted to the UK , even if they do not hold a...
Same as with residence card; use the EU line; no landing card; no stamp. No need to be accompanying or joining anymore either, you're independent of EU family member. Hi all. Just got my EEA4 approved finally :) Can anyone show me some relevant legislation that shows I don't have to fill out a land...
Hi all. I sent an application for EEA3 and EEA4 together. Here's what happened so far: 17/08/11 - Sent EEA3 + EEA4 to Home Office (1.3kg of documents - I included a special delivery return envelope w/ extra postage to support the weight) 09/09/11 - I called the UKBA to enquire as to why I hadn't ye...
I am abit confused. So she is on a tourist visa but you have applied for a EEA2 residence visa? Is that what you mean> How can you apply for a EEA2 residence visa without getting the family permit first, if she is only on a tourist visa? Coz she came here as a tourist, and then decided to stay and ...
The EEA3+ EEA4 applications sent on 19 August 2011, received by Home Office on 22 August, COA Dated 12 September COA Received on 20 September EEA3 PR Dated 12 September EEA3 PR Received 26 September EEA4 PR Dated 25 October EEA4 PR Received 5 November Altogether took 2 months and 17 Days!!! Amazing...
Silva you're right - they do have to let you in. So while you may not qualify for permanent residence, when you come back to the UK they will have to let you in - at least on a "Code 6a" stamp or whatever it's called .. then once you're in again you could apply for another 5 year EEA2 stamp.
A point to make though andrej is that yes you can apply for BC 1 year after the specific date you acquired PR, but if you do it < 1 year from the date of issue of your PR stamp then you'll have to send all the documents you originally sent to prove PR in the first place...whereas if you wait 1 year ...
