[quote="Grazia"]Hi, I’m an EU citizen living and working in the UK. Recently, I have been issued with Permanent Residence Card.

Thanks for your answers. I'm happy with both

Hi, I passed Life in the UK test in April 2013 before it was upgraded in September 2013. I got my PR one month ago and I'm going to apply for naturalization in September 2015. Will my Life in UK test be still valid or I will have to re-sit the exam? Also, I have a PhD degree from University of Manch...

Do you think it would be a good idea to send an email complaining about this to: complaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk? Don't think it can do any harm. Re: payment queries, you could try to contact these numbers for the payment section in Liverpool: 0151-2134566/0151-2134568 (one is right and the other ...

Hi Our appeal was allowed on the 15th Feb 2013 by the tribunal and fee award was given which has been credited back into my account however, the RC has not been sent YET! Got really frustrated and made several phone calls to European Enquries Centre but no help at all. My passport was already retai...

It was refused due to lack of CSI and insufficient number of transancions/balance on the bank account.
Judge ruled court fee award in my favour, UKBA has to refund it -not court.

Hi everybody, It has been some time since I posted here so will give some follow-up on my PR case although there was no much progress. Brief recap-I won my appeal on 21Jan 2014, then HO applied for permission to appeal but was refused by FTT on 12 Feb 2014 and did not attempt further appeal. Since t...

Contact UKBA and ask them to comply with the judgement. Unfortunately this "hurray!" didn't last long. Today I was blown by the letter from 1st tier tribunal that Home Secretary applied for permission to appeal. It was a shock especially that during my appeal hearing HO representative didn't ask me...

Most times, the judge will want to make a decision on the same day unless there is any further disagreements which need clarified. If not, you will receive the decision via post after a maximum of "14 days" (not actual but from experience). Hi Davmck70, Hurray! We have got the decission letters in ...

Thanks a lot

Sorry ) I'm afraid I'm confused with the way this forum works.

Sorry if I seem to be a little impatient but I didn't mean to upset anybody. I'm still learning how this forum works. I don't feel I ask the same questions in every thread, I'm just trying to exchange my experiences with others and learn something more to understand and deal with my own case and as ...

Thanks for your expertise. I know about the CSI situation because it's exactly my case! I applied for PR and was refused. First of the reasons was lack of CSI. However, HO failed to take under consideration the fact that I was a student at that time and I presented them with registration certificate...

Thank you so much sha_80, that is really helpful! Reading your post I realized that it is the HO representative who ask you the questions and runs the investigation, is that correct? And what is the role of the judge, just listen and make a decision at the end? Thanks again sha_80 for sharing your e...

Hi, I'm EU citizen living in the UK since May 2004. Between May 2004 and Oct 2010 I was a student.
From Oct 2011 until now I'm in full-time employment.
Question: should I have registered with WRS when I started working?
Could anybody direct me to relevant WRS regulations and amendments pls?

Hi nemerkh, just was wondering how did your case culminate. Could you please post update as I'm in similar situation and it could be helpful. Many thanks.

I haven't received anything into my inbox.

Many Congratulations Sha_80! That's fantastic start of 2014 :) I can imagine the relief after 3 years of frustration! I have appeal hearing soon regarding my PR and don't know what to expect. Could you please share your experience with me and give some tips and advice before I go there? 1. Are the q...

Grazia, I would suppose you have chosen the Oral hearing instead of paper. You have enough time between now and hearing date to prepare. My advice would be to use the website below to check which hearing is close to you and you can witness one to have an understanding of the way it works. Its a ver...

I exercised treaty rights between 2004 and 2009 as: Student (May 2004 - Sept 2005) Self-sufficient person (supported by my husband) Oct 2005 – Apr 2006 I was out of the UK Apr 2006 – Sept 2006 Student (Oct 2006 – Sept 2010) Can you give a timeline of when you applied and also when it was declined b...

I can see the logic if a person is applying for Residence Card. The point is to ensure that a person is self sufficient. In 2005-2006, OP will be required to show that she had sufficient resource not to be a burden on the UK resources. Simoly showing a medical insurance does not fulfil this require...

Hi there, I’m EU citizen living in the UK since 2004. Recently I applied for certification of my PR status with 2 kids and non-EU husband. I exercised treaty rights between 2004 and 2009 as: Student (May 2004 - Sept 2005) Self-sufficient person (supported by my husband) Oct 2005 – Apr 2006 I was ou...

I don't understand what 1. not sufficient number of transactions from bank account has got to do with PR ? Here is exactly as they wrote in the letter: “The bank account statements provided do not evidence sufficient transactions and balance amounts to substantiate your assertion that you are conti...
