Re: Citizenship after ILR (5 year route)

Why not apply now if she meets the requirements? It takes about 3 to 4 months and if you apply through NCS at the local council you get to keep hold of all your original documents and can apply for citizenship and passport simultaneously. Current cost is £1287 and the fees go up by roughly 20-25% i...

Re: Permanent Residence Card Processing Time 2016

Hi Samelamin,

I looked at the letter they have sent me and it states that I got PR on the 21st April 2015! Which is approximately 5 years since we started living together.

If I knew that the unmarried period whilst we were living together counted, I would have applied earlier.

Oh well...

Re: HO visit after PR application

If you have nothing to hide then relax.

You can easily prove your relationship with him being out of the country. i.e text messages, call logs, emails, pictures, plans to go and visit, flight tickets etc.

Re: Non-eea travelling solo while waiting for PR

I came back today from traveling on business to Italy without my EU spouse.

It went OK, I had my marriage certificate with me and my old passport which had my residence permit. I also went on the EU line :D as there was a massive queue on non-EU.
