CSI for student and worker

[noajthan]

so are you suggesting I list all activities in section 9 (employment,studies and self employment) but only supply documentation backing my employment + write explanation in 9.9 (page 50) that I'd like my application to be based on my worker status as I worked without breaks (even when I was studying and was self-employed) since I arrived to UK?

that makes sense to supply example payslips - do you reckon 2 for each year (mid financial year and end of financial year) would be enough?

Yes, you've got it; something along those lines. Just make sure you can back it with rock-solid documentation.
In that way you can vouch for the completeness of the application and timeline.

I'd go for 4 or 6 payslips a year. There's no hard and fast rule.

Dig out some of member ohara's posts about his application, that could give you a steer. And I think member LilyLalilu has advised already.

thanks a lot noajthan, you're super helpful last question, do you reckon it's worthwhile to also send p45 in addition to payslips and p60s?

I can only imagine it backs your case so yes, you could do that.

Suggest keep scans and copies of all the documents you submit as well as of the form and payment details - all for future reference.

[lesterburnham]

are they not sending submitted documents back?

are they not sending submitted documents back?

They do but not your form. Also things can get lost and for your own peace of mind it's good to have a copy of exactly what you sent.

[noajthan]

are they not sending submitted documents back?

Yes - eventually; but it may be prudent to have a record of what you sent,

And in case of refusal such a record will help you fight your corner.
After all failing to plan is planning to fail.

They will return your documents other than any covering letters you may have included.

great, thanks for replies


so, I'm completing section 9 (relevant EEA national's activity in the UK). I'm planning to complete it as follow:

section A.1 (summary of activity):
05/2007 - present - Working (I was also working when doing activities listed below)
09/2009 - 09/2013 - Studying
08/2015 - 08/2015 - Self employed

and then, shall I complete any of:
A.3 (self employment), A.5 (study), A.6 (financial resources during studies), A.7 (CSI)
or leave blank since I want to apply based on uninterrupted work?

Then, in A.9 I'll give longer explanation (mentioning section A.1) stating that I worked since I arrived in UK, my work was not interrupted when I was self employed and studying and that I would like to "exercise treaty rights"* based on my worker status. (* - shall I word it "exercise treaty rights" or "my application for permanent residence certificate")

sorry about asking about this again but I really want to make it as sensible as it can be.

Fill it all in, for all activities - caseworker will figure it out - that's her job.
And if you miss something she should spot it, after all yours is not the first one she's seen.

Suggest phrase your cogent explanatory and supporting paragraph along the lines of...

to be considered as a worker qualified person due to my period of genuine and effective work throughout <period ...> during which time my other activities (including study and selfemployment) were marginal and supplementary to my employment.
