Evidence of residency for Non-EU family member with Settled Status (ILR + 1 year)
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2020 12:31 pm
Hi,
I am in the process of applying for Naturalisation as British Citizen (EEA family member granted indefinite
leave remain (settled status) under the EU Settlement scheme + 1 year)
I understand from the guidance that having Settled Status (ILR) does not confirm that you were here lawfully under the EEA Regulations during that time, as defined by the British Nationality Act 1981 as this is not a requirement of the EU Settlement Scheme. Caseworkers may therefore need to request further information from the applicant to demonstrate this.
My question is what information do I need to provide to show that I was here lawfully as the unmarried partner of a EU citizen?
I read somewhere that showing my passport with stamps when I entered more than 5 years ago should suffice but not sure this is correct? I can supply my P60s for the last 5 years to show I was working in the UK, however I am not sure this is what they need as I was not the one exercising treaty rights. Do I need to provide my partners Permanent Residence card or her P60s? We are no longer together since I got my ILR so this might prove a bit difficult...
I also read about getting a letter from the employer confirming your employment (although I only had this job for the last 3 years).
Many thanks.
