I think It'd be useful to share this in here too since it's a PRC thread:

Hello, I have a very tricky case, sent ex ID though.

I applied without a valid residence card (expired in 2014) didn't have many docs from my ex (just a couple of P60's, ID and payslips) but I managed to fill in all gaps with other supporting docs, (bank statements etc) I didn't have much hope but all went well!
This is my xmas present! Good luck to all!

Non-EEA PR application+EEA spouse PR application for change of name (spouse already has PR card).

I wanted to use the EPRS as I needed my passport to travel, so I decided to apply with my wife for a new card, stating change of name as the reason for her application.

I applied a month before my 5 years permanent residence qualification. My current EEA2 residence card expires on 24 March 2019, date of wedding in the UK 6 January 2014.
