Cheers for the reply. I distinctly remember someone earlier sending their docs in April and having only a 1-2 day lag between DCPR being sent out and the issue date. Obviously with all the questions this thread is getting cluttered with, it's a bit difficult to trace that post. That is why I'm askin...
First post, happy post. I never wrote here, but I read often... Got my PRC today Italian, been living in London since 2004, employed throughout since before moving (I came after a job offer straight after uni) DCPR Timeline Application sent: 20/04/2016 Documents received: 23/04/2016 Payment taken: ...
Good morning, Any update today guys? Thanks Good Morning James, Finally I received my PR card today. Many Thanks for your support. This is my updated timetable. Application as EEA National Sent: 01/04/2016 Received: 04/04/2016 Payment taken: 12/04/2016 (Credit Card) Confirmation email: Didn't recei...
To my surprise, I just received the confirmation email within one month of receipt of my document. Does it say it will be done within 6 months for everyone as a Standard service level agreement though or is that just a new thing they've introduced now? Despite the expedience of the email, I am not ...
This site is definitely a great resource of information and wish I found it a couple of years earlier. In light of recent events, just as many others, have applied for PR card with a view to complete naturalisation once that is approved. Thought I would share the timeline for July 2016 EEA national...
Congratulations on that one and it looks like quite promising news for single EU citizens apps.
The wait even post Brexit is c. 3 months which gives me hope. I am still not confident of actually getting mine due to evidence but good to see there is no excess in processing times.

You apply to naturalise via HO before applying for first passport via HMPO. CID is an internal HO system. You need good if not unimpeachable evidence for at least a 5-year period showing you exercised treaty rights as a qualified person in one of more categories. If you do not have at least that th...
... Thank you for your response. I realise it is my right but the HO has tried to make me fight for some of my supposed EU rights since I've come into the country (everything else has been awesome, to be fair), so I hope I am excused for being sceptical. ... One other question I had is whether the ...
Note you are not applying for PR you are applying for a card confirming you have acquired PR 'automatically' by exercisibg treaty rights continuously for 5 years as a qualified person. So its not up to a kind-hearted caseworker to agree which period. You acquired PR when you first acquired it. It c...
Small update. Letter is in progress and it seems things might get sorted on that front thanks to my hard-working and persistent mom! The people in Sofia seem to be much more responsive than the regional offices who frankly are just lazy and do not even try. All I need now is to gather a gazillion mo...
Hello. You don't need to wait for 12 months from obtaining your document certifying permanent residence (DCPR) to apply for British Citizenship. The Home Office will record in their database the date you acquired permanent residence, irrespective of the date of your DCPR. I suggest that you pick an...
Thanks a lot for your reply. While my insurance is fully paid (or will be soon), I have not consistently had an EHIC just because I kind of didn't bother (and was not aware it was needed for permanent residence). I will email the NHIF and will ask them about my case. Mine is a bit different, as I on...
Hi, Sorry to resurrect this thread but I have just registered, so cannot send personal messages. I am in a similar situation as the OP. I am looking to understand the exact format of this letter (I am Bulgarian who did a 4-year degree in the UK from 2008). As it stands, the only thing I can get as e...
