The reason for asking is because this date is significantly earlier than the date I believe I've acquired PR status.
That is the line that matters. Have a look at this page from my SAR response:
The date of my PR is a bit earlier than I expected it to be too but having looked into it, it does make sense for me.
Thank you, Ohara.
What you're saying completely makes sense. In my case, however, the date they've set is only 6 months after my arrival in the UK. Not, let's say, 6 months before completing my 5th year or something. It's 6 months after my arrival in the country. I have automatically acquired PR status in the UK at some point in late 2014. Their computer says it's 2009. All other details in the SAR are correct - full name, date of birth, photograph, address, everything. It can't be right...
They should have my EEA (PR) application on file. I've clearly stated arrival date, provided evidence about exercising treaty rights, accommodation, taxes, NI, etc. I also have a Yellow Registration Certificate as a self-employed person which they issued me with a year after my arrival. Basically the SAR is saying that I've acquired PR 6 months before I was issued with a Registration Certificate as a Qualified Person. Very very strange.
I've applied though, waiting now. Hopefully everything will be OK. I meet all criteria anyway and could re-submit all evidence if they want me to.
P.S. Your SAR looks like an official document. Mine is basically a 3-page screenshot from their system, and my Treaty Rights section, for example, can't be seen. On the first screenshot I have Identity and Entitlement, and from Entitlement, they have scrolled down to Despatch Instructions. There's also an instruction to the caseworker for my Yellow Card to be destroyed. Guess if they destroyed it? It arrived back to me
