Confusion regarding FORM AN

[timidez]

Hello guys!

I am an Italian citizen and my wife a non-EEA national. We've been here for almost 9 years and a couple of years ago I’ve applied for Permanent Residence, which was granted a few months later. At the time I had to gather dozens, if not hundreds of papers to prove I/We had been exercising our treaty rights.

Right. Now she wants to apply for the British citizenship (I am keeping my Italian one) and the form starts asking when was your ILR granted. I know ILR and PR are almost the same thing, but not quite. Should I put the date when she got her PR?

Jump to questions 2.4-2-6 and it gives me the impression I will have to prove we have been exercising treaty rights all over again! Logic says if we have done this before I should simply skip this part, but as we all know logic doesn’t always prevail in these cases.

What should I do? Has anyone been through this before?

Many thanks from this newbie.

Yes, put the PR date as ILR date, no problems there.

Your logic is right. Your have proved everything, and it has been confirmed by the way of PR. No need to prove exercising treaty rights again. Just totally ignore eea treaty rights section of application form.
