Hello all,

I am a Non EEA National (Pakistani husband) with UK PR issued on 05/02/2019 and PR acquired date on letter is 31st Dec 2018.

My wife EEA National (Norwegian Citizen) with UK PR issued on 04/02/2019 and PR acquired date on letter is 31st Dec 2018. She has been working throughout 5 years and exercising her rights.

I was going through the AN guideline and saw that letters from employers, educational establishments or other Government Departments indicating presence in UK. For the PR application I sent my bank statement for all 5 year and 5 year tenancy agreement whereas my wife sent her 5 year P60 and 5 year Bank statement. But for British citizenship, what other documents can I send?

Many thanks

You need to submit the same evidence as your spouse then to prove your residence in the UK.

a bit weird ...they dont normally stamp on way out / exit from the uk but they definitely stamp on way back 100% any non British passport , and also any EU country or NON-EU country including Pakistan ( your home country ) stamps entry stamp when you enter that country after leaving uk.

but if you dont have any stamps at all , even then you can just submit your passport copy with blank pages which would mean you didn't leave the country & didn't need to re- enter the UK ( hence residing in UK throughout this 5 year )

The op is an eea family member with PR via the eea EU route. EU family members do not get stamped when entering the UK, regardless of the passpirt/nationality.
