For those with BRPs any update on your application? I have been told again to just wait for the case worker to be in touch. Anyone who has made some positive progress?

Congrats @tahir42007

Please can you advise what documents did you submit when you first applied and what additional documents did u send again?

The reason of asking is that i am also non-eea and planning to apply. Been fighting for my PR since Jun 2016.

And also if your EEA-National got any status (pre or settle).

If you can guide the whole process it will help many.

Much appreciated.

When i applied and sumbit application it says it found records of my residence and benefits but couldnt find if i was resident for last 6 months and asked me to upload documents for last six months which i did by uploading 6 months credit card statements photos. In the email i received today they asked me proof of residence from april 2017 to december 2018. I just logged in to my online banking and download pdf statements for this period and send to them and after about 15 minutes got confirmation of settled status.
My wife is eea citizen for her i applied on 19 april and uploaded 5 p60 thats it. She was granted settled status on 7th may. I applied for my son at the same day as me he got coa on 1 of may as me but still pending settled status.

Greatly appreciated.

My question is when you applied which documents did you upload? Normally what experienced from this forum is they allowed 10 documents.

Please advised?

Didnt understand.

Your timeline started with pre settle status and ending up with settle status granted?

I have applied as non EU family member on 12th of April and received my COA on 30th April.

I had a 5 years residence permit on my passport which will expire next year. When I applied its said I was eligible to apply for settlement as I have been living UK for over 9 years. But from this forum I have learnt that I had to be married to my partner for 5 years to get settlement. My 5 years will be on August this year.

Do you guys think, they will just give me pre-settle status or they will hold the decision until August and give the settlement?

Did anyone else received settle status before 5 years living with their partner.

I will really appreciate your input

My NI was used for proof of my residency, i sent copy of ex EU ID which expires in 2022, marriage cert and i also contacted council and they sent me a letter to say myself and my ex were liable for council tax in 3 different addresses for a 6 year period. The letter clearly stated the addresses we both lived in and her name was on this letter as well.

Has your divorce proceedings started??
