Hello guys

I am preparing to apply for naturalisation in the end of next month , but first i wanted to check if i am actually qualified for that so , my case is as follow .
i came to the UK in April 2012 on eea family permit as a spouse of an EU national , i got RC in Oct same year lasted until Oct 2017 , after 5 years in the UK in April 2017 i applied for Permanent Residence and got it dated sept 2017 , and i got a letter with it says i deemed to have acquired PR status on 28 april 2017 .
now i am thinking i am qualified to apply for citizenship in 28 april 2018 ,a year after i hold PR , i am right or wrong ?
if i am qualified to apply , my spouse not living with me now but we still married and everything fine , they moved to another EU country for a year trail so we are not sure yet if we gonna continue living here or i am going to move to that eu country as well , thats why i wanted to apply for citizenship so i can go and live in the other eu country if i have to do so , is that my spouse living in another address another country (which i will have to mention in the application )will effect my application somehow ?(they got PR as well ) .
hope somebody shed some light please .
Thank you in advance .

if i am qualified to apply , my spouse not living with me now but we still married and everything fine , they moved to another EU country for a year trail so we are not sure yet if we gonna continue living here or i am going to move to that eu country as well , thats why i wanted to apply for citizenship so i can go and live in the other eu country if i have to do so
if you state this in your application, your application will be denied
, is that my spouse living in another address another country (which i will have to mention in the application )will effect my application somehow ?(they got PR as well ) your application has nothing to do with where your spouse resides.
hope somebody shed some light please .
Thank you in advance .

Hi Hestepper , thank you very much for your replay ,
Yeah I am present in the U.K for 6 continues years (will be in 28 April ) . Sure I'll do the life in the uk and language test .
Supporting documents , I just start working since 2015 , I did some temporary jobs before but I have no proof , so is that okay to just send the p60 start from 2015 . And do I have to send my marriage certificate and my spouse ID ? Do I still have to show that my spouse exercising treaty rights ?
Thank you

You need to provide doc covering last 5 yrs including passport. Provide what you can explain the rest. No need for marriage cert and spouse exercising treaty rights

5 yrs employment you mean. You do not have to be in employment so you state you were unemployed. If you ar a non eea national, your passports covering the 5 yr period can serve as proof of living in the UK

Naturalisation - Form AN questions

Hi guys just a question regarding the good character, why would you mention fixed penalties like sp30 etc.. , if the penalty paid in time , like it said on the AN from such things will not be considered .
Quote from An from
"Fixed Penalty Notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) do not form part of a person’s criminal record and will not be considered in the caseworker’s assessment of character unless either:
• the person has failed to pay and there were criminal proceedings as a result • the person has received numerous xed penalty notices"

You do not have to mention it. It may only work against an application when the mentioned factors arise

Have you read the guidance notes, clearly stated where to send the form if you are applying on your own by post.
