Applying for naturalisation - PR 4 years ago

Post by wsg20019 » Wed Jul 15, 2020 2:26 pm

Hi,

I received my permanent residence card (wife of EEA national) in 2016. Now I am applying for British nationality/Naturalisation. I have passed the LiUK test and B1 three months ago this year. I have lived in the UK continuously since I first came here in the UK in beginning of 2010.

I have opted to apply online but have two queries (for now):

1) Question regarding any previous immigration application: Do I need to provide the details when I applied for 6 months EEA spouse visa from the counrty I originally came from or is this related to any other immigration application?
2) Question regarding details of Biometric Residence Permit: Since I already have given the Permanent Resident Card number in the beginning of the application form ( basis of application) , is the biometric residence permit same as permanent residence card? I did get a 5 year residence document sticker on my old passport but it was certainly not biometric - no fingerprints done or signature on the document (issued in late 2010). The residence card is biometric but states permanent residency and the card has a 10 year validity. Do I provide resident card detaips here , again?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Angela

The requirement is to state all applications you have ever made, in the UK or outside, whether EU related or not.
2) Question regarding details of Biometric Residence Permit: Since I already have given the Permanent Resident Card number in the beginning of the application form ( basis of application) , is the biometric residence permit same as permanent residence card? I did get a 5 year residence document sticker on my old passport but it was certainly not biometric - no fingerprints done or signature on the document (issued in late 2010). The residence card is biometric but states permanent residency and the card has a 10 year validity. Do I provide resident card detaips here , again?
The number is just a number it may not even be on the system - you need to provide a scan of your card or document that states you have permanent residence - best to provide all details required.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.

Thank you very much indeed.
1) The very first time I applied for the 6 month EEA spouse visa (outside of UK). The second time for the 5 year EEA permit (within UK) and the third time for the Permanent residence (within UK).
2) Okay. I will provide the biometric details of the permanent residence card as the 5 year visa does not indicate or have any biometric details of mine. I will fill in the residence card number in this section again.

Thanks again.

Angela
