Permanent Residence - WRS employment dates don't match
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 11:06 am
Hi
I have started working in UK in June 2008. I come from one of the countries taht were requeried to register under WRS rules. I plan to apply for Permenent Residence in August 2013, but I might have some problems with that application.
1) I started my first job in June 2008, applied for first WRS certificate July and it was issued in August 2008 (date of issue)
2) I switched jobs in November, applied for new WRS certificate few weeks (2-3) after, and it was issued in January 2009(date of issue)
3) Switched jobs in July 2009, and applied to EEA1 (Residence Permit) which was a mistake as I should have applied for WRS 12 months continues employment or register my new job under WRS - not sure. I received a letter from HO saying I should cancel my application. The reason was: new job never registered, previous job no2 registered late in Jan 2009 and it should have been Nov 2009
4) I registered my new and current job few weeks after and new WRS cert was issued in November 2009 (date of issue)
5) In November 2010 I applied for WRS 12 months continues employment and in January 2011 Residence Permit was issued
The question is - Am I eligible to apply for Permenent Residence in August 2013 , becasue I first registered under WRS in July/August 2008 ? Or I have to do that in November 2014, because starting point for 4 years was after I completed full year of employment and got Resident Permit.
Thank you
Tom
