Seems like I am the only person that didn't get their PR date with my fast track SAR. My bureaucrat must have been particularly sloppy but that's probably why it came back so quickly.

Hi ohara. I was referencing this exact picture when I said I've seen it done 'right'. I also used your recommended (or similar) wording. To no avail it seems but I might enclose this page as an example and include a cover letter as well.

I did include a note on my first application asking for the date but I might use the exact wording with the section name 'Entitlement' and refer to the case notes the second time. If it doesn't work then, I seriously won't know what to do.

Thanks for your help and all the info. Somehow I reckon the notes for my DCPR application were cropped. I don't have an 'Entitlement' section or any of the ones you mention and the page numbers are blacked out. I will submit another one and I might attach a letter explaining what I need. I really de...

So was the PR date in the 'ENTITLEMENT' section again? It's so frustrating how inconsistent these people are.

I just got a SAR back today for my actual PR date and it appears the extract is incomplete, as the date is not there. Seems suspicious my DCPR application has only a page and a half of case notes compared to 6/4 for much shorter apps in the past.

Very annoying but I'll ask for another one.

Hi maxima12 and LilyLalilu. I have just received a reply to my SAR today (quite quick, only 3 weeks) but did not get what I needed i.e. my PR date. I also used similar language to maxima12 in my request and ticked the IT records box only. Wha appears to have happened is they have not sent me the ful...

You're awesome. Thnaks a lot.

AnotherUUID, thank you once again. I just got my DCPR recently and what a relief it was!

I am sure I would have failed without this thread. You are my residency expert and hero!

A bit late posting my final timeline but here it is.

thats a very good news, would you be able to share what exactly did you request on the application from, just CID database records? I ticked all boxes on the fast-track SAR and wrote 'Please disclose all files/data held about me on the Caseworker Information Database'. (Sorry, I'm not actually the ...

I can now confirm that fast track SAR gives you the PR details - I got a copy of all caseworker notes entered into the CID database, including date of acquiring PR. It took exactly 20 working days to receive the reply ( 1 calendar month ) Hi. Very useful thread and great to know it can be done with...

Just got the DCPR and it was dated 1/11/2016. Will post my full timeline later.

Unfortunately I could not kill two birds with one stone and get the effective date for permanent residence. Off to research the forum and this thread for a SAR request.

Just checked my return tracker number on the Royal Post's site and it's on its way back! Sent the application in during the week before the referendum. Should be here by Monday. Wish me luck, please. Very nervous and hopeful, though, I did make a mistake with the absences bit on the form...Still, f...

Hi all, Good news at last after a 4 months wait. Updated timeline below Application posted: 02/07/2016 Documents received: 04/07/2016 Payment taken: 06/07/2016 Confirmation email: 04/08/2016 DCPR dated: 29/10/2016 DCPR received: 05/11/2016 Did not send a pre paid envelope. All documents received to...

ooh! no. that's last thing you wanted :) I have the first tracking number for the package I sent, but I don't have tracking number for the pre paid envelop. I checked my two receipts when I sent my application first and another one after I changed the address. Strange, why didn't post office gave m...

And I missed it by 5 mins because I went out... So I have to wait for tomorrow or guaranteed Monday.

To track your package, you need the number before you send it off and it'll be in the same format as your first tracking number.

Just checked my prepaid envelope for what is probably the 1000th time this week and it's on the way. Since it's special delicery and it cost me £11, it should arrive tomorrow morning, so hopefully I don't sleep through the delivery or it comes when I'm out. I am not optimistic on getting DCPR but wi...

I applied 4 months ago today and still no news. It is infuriating having to wait with no updates. And to think the woman in charge of this Home Office for 6 years is now in charge of the country.

I applied at the beginning of July but have not heard anything so far. Hoping for a response by the end of next week.

These confirmation emails really are taking a lot less time nowadays. I have been waiting for 3.5 months now and was hoping for <4-month wait but it seems it was not to be.

Great to hear, johnkk. It is good to see that putting in the time beforehand has paid off for you! I have tried to similarly do the same with my app but my case is more complicated due to there being less evidence and a lot of smalll stuff whic I had to declare even if it was not that important. I'm...

Hello all, My timeline is as follows (EEA citizen): Documents sent: 13 April 2016 Documents received: 14 April 2016 Payment taken: 20 April 2016 Confirmation email received: 16 May 2016 Passport Return Request: 14 August 2016 Passport Received: 24 August 2016 Document Certifying Permanent Residence...

Since they won't accept eletronic evidence, I can't see this being that big of a change. Also, what is with the trial for corporate clients? Sick of fat cats getting priority over me.

Good luck, nosana. How many days has it been since receipt of your docs?
