Hello Guys!

I tried reading a lot of existing threads, however could not find the answers to my specific questions.

I would like to apply for the EEA permanent resident card.

My history:
Full time student 2005-2008 with no CSI (during which period I was also registered as self-employed for under a year)
Full time Worker 2008 - 2014 (THE QUALIFYING 5 CONTINUOUS YEARS AS A FULL TIME WORKER)
Left the country 2014 -2015
Full time Worker from 2015 to date

My claim is based on 5 continuous years as a full time worker from 2008 to 2014.

In EEA(PR): guidance notes it says that I need to provide evidence such as P60/P45 for 5 continous years as a full time worker and if the qualifying period happened more than 2 years ago I need to provide evidence that I did not leave the UK for more than 2 years.

I have P60's/P45's to cover the whole period from 2008 to date.

However on online application I was also asked whether I was ever self-employed or student since coming to the UK. I answered 'Yes' to both questions and also provided further details.

As I reached the 'Documents' section I was asked to provide the evidence for continuous (5 year) period of qualifying residence and evidence that I have not spent more than 2 consecutive years outside the UK since the qualifying period ended. Which is what I am prepared to provide.

However, I was also asked to provide evidence of studying, CSI cover and self employment. EEA(PR): guidance notes booklet does not say that I need to provide any evidence before the continuous (5 year) period of qualifying residence. However, the online application is asking for the evidence for all 13 years I have been in the UK.

I did not have a CSI, so I can not tick the box which says that I promise to enclose it. If I can not tick the box I am unable to save the application and move forward.

Help! Has anyone had a similar issue before?

Hi,

I had a similar problem and I ticked the boxes so I can continue and make the payment. When you download the application form and the list of required documents to send to UKVI the boxes next to the required documents are not ticked (even though you do tick them online). I chose not to tick the irrelevant ones (self-sufficient and student) and I explained why I did not include them in my cover letter (that I am applying for a DCPR as a worker and the years before that, when I was a student, should not be considered as I did not hold comprehensive health insurance).

That's what I did but I applied a week ago so I don't know yet if this will cause issues with my application ( I expect not).
