Date of PR status acquisition

Post by Nimitta » Tue Jul 11, 2017 10:31 am

I received the decision letter from the HO and it's a bit puzzling. And here is why:

Entered the UK on 05/09/20111
EEA started working as self-employed (as stated on the Self-assessment) on 05/09/2011
EEA issued first invoice on 17/09/09
The payment received as shown on the bank statement on 21/09/2011

The decision letter states I acquired PR status on 02/08/2016 which is weird because 02/08/2011 is 1 month and 3 days before I even crossed the border.

I shouldn't apply for citizenship before 05/09/2017 , that's for sure, even though the letter states otherwise. However, on what date I can apply then? I am struggling to understand how they came up with the date, it doesn't seem to be corresponding to any relevant days I mentioned above. Any thoughts?

So the way I see it I have three options here.

1. Apply, say, in the end of September without sending all PR supporting documents.
2. Apply in September sending all PR supporting documents.
3. Get in touch with the HO and ask them to revise the PR acquisition date since the one they mentioned in the decision letter is obviously not correct - if it is indeed an option. I am not sure if they do such revisions at all.

Does anyone know if there is a way to contact HO and ask them to review the PR status acquisition date or it is impossible? I am at loss and don't know what would be the best way to deal with the issue. Can someone please help me out?

Review means another 6 months wait.
Apply your BC after 06/09/2017.

Make sure you provide the documentation required for naturalisation under UK law:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... en-form-an

It is not the same as PR (different rules) which come under EEA regulations.
NB. Post BC questions in the separate forum.

Mystery solved. Now I know why the HO chose that earlier date. On the application we listed earlier entrances, and during the first one my ex registered as self-employed, worked and payed taxes. Then we left and came back later. I totally ignored that first time because we didn't really plan to settle down, but we mentioned it on the application because there was a question about every EEA FP ever issued. :D

No, no! They got it right. :-) And I am quite sure they doublecheck and triplecheck the PR acquisition date. From the point of immigration law, my first stay is in no way different from the second one. Both time I came with EU spouse, both on EEAFP, both time EU was working, both times paying taxes. The only difference is the first time we didn't really intend to settle down, but this is purely psychological aspect of the matter. Just because I didn't take into account that first time does not mean it shouldn't or couldn't have been taken into account.
