Hi
I am non eu national and I have settle status (11m)
Thinking of applying BC but recently someone told me that with settle status you still have to prove 5 year lawful residence
I did some research and find out that I have to prove that before settle status I was family member of Eu nation and Eu national was working during that time
She was working and also I was family member as well , we just recently got separated and I asked her if you could give me documents like p60s but she said no so I have no clue how to prove that she was qualified person at that time
I have searched many threads here but all I could find out was about CSI issue , nothing related non Eu family member documents so in my case she doesn’t need csi as she was working full time all those years but have no way to prove it
Thank you in advance for reading and replying

You provide your own P60s or other official documents showing residency - naturalisation is about your compliance with the requirements.

Thank you for your reply , but in guidance it’s say lawful residence and acquiring settle status doesn’t mean you have lawful residence meaning have to prove that was a family member of qualified Eu national before settle status else it wouldn’t consider as lawful residence
Settle status does prove that I was family member but it doesn’t prove that my partner was qualified like PR
So I am just confused what shall I do cos if that’s true I have to wait another 4 years , I wish I would have applied PR instead

The guidance informs caseworkers - they have discretion to question your evidence if they see fit, as well as discretion to allow your evidence. When you apply the system will ask for your documents, not your sponsor's. By all means upload additional evidence if you feel uncomfortable.

Thank you , I don’t have additional evidence
, one more question when you fill form online they ask you if you have pr under eea rules if you answer yes then they ask you will you apply using pr or settle status ilr but if you answer no then they ask if you have ilr
Which option should I go for ?
As I never applied for pr under Eu rules as family member

Select ILR (incl. Settled Status) - we don't have sight of the actual screen options.

Hello
Can you please let us know the outcome of your application? Although I am not separated but my partner might not be able to comeback to UK for sometime . Although I did check with few Solictors and got an idea that as long as I have settled status (ILR) separation doesn’t matter. But will be goood to check with experts on this form as this form has been very helpful!!
