Hi
Sorry, old thread, but I need some clarification on this matter.
What does the above exactly mean?
It says, you should have held MINIMUM permanant resident status for 5 years, then in the last sentence, it says AGAIN minimum resident status for 12 months?
Does that mean 12 months OF THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD (THE LAST YEAR OF THE 5 YEARS)?
OR
12 MONTHS ON TOP OF THE 5 YEAR PERIOD?
Basically, a simple answer would help me immensely.
I'm an EEA national (Hungarian). I have been in the UK since Oct 2008, and never needed visa etc.
So i suppose I have been a permanant resident since I arrived?
I have been full time employed in the NHS since the day I arrived, Oct 2008, till this very day.
So, in Oct 2013, DO I QUALIFY FOR LIKE IN THE UK TEST AND NATURALISATION ETC, OR DO I NEED TO WAIT TILL OVT 2014?
Many thanks
