SHOULD'NT THE EEA4 PR ISSUE DATE BE AFTER EXPIRY OF 5 YR RC
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2014 12:06 pm
HELLO EVERYONE,
I HAVE RECENTLY APPLIED (17TH NOVEMBER 2014) FOR A EEA4 PERMANENT RESIDENCY AFTER BEING ON THE 5 YEAR RESIDENCE CARD. HAVING READ A LOT OF POSTS HERE AND MY QUESTION UNANSWERED, I'M EVER MORE CURIOUS AS TO WHY NO ONE ELSE HAS RAISED THIS TOPIC.
SHOULD'NT THE EEA4 PERMANENT RESIDENCE START STRAIGHT AFTER EXPIRY OF THE 5 YEAR RESIDENCE CARD?????
LET ME DETAIL.
MY 5 YR RESIDENCE CARD EXPIRED ON THE 29TH NOVEMBER 2014 AND THE HOME OFFICE TAKES UP TO SIX MONTHS OR LONGER IN SOME CASES. BY THE TIME MY APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL AND THE HOME OFFICE GRANTS ME A PR, FOR EXAMPLE I GET IT ON 30TH APRIL 2015, I HAVE WOULD HAVE SPENT ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 6 MONTHS, PLUS THE ORIGINAL 5 YR QUALIFYING PERIOD.
I HAVE RECEIVED THE COA WHICH STATES THAT I CAN WORK, ETC, BUT BASED ON THE ABOVE, MY APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION/BRITISH CITIZENSHIP IS BEING DELAYED BY 6 MONTHS.
SINCE THE HOME OFFICE IS TAKING UP TO 6 MONTHS TO PROCESS AN APPLICATION (MIGHT BE QUICKER IN SOME CASES, WHAT EVER THE TIME IT TAKES), DON'T YOU ALL THINK THE EEA 4 PR SHOULD BE ISSUED STRAIGHT AFTER EXPIRY OF THE 5 YR RESIDENCE CARD AND NOT ON THE DATE THE APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL AND PR IS GRANTED, AS WE ALL HAVE LAWFULLY FULFILLED THE CONDITION/RULE SET BY THE HOME OFFICE.
ANY CLARITY IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
THANKS A LOT.
