New testimonial (in Romanian) on British Citizenship application for a Romanian national
"Imi doream ca un expert sa se ocupe de
aplicatia mea pentru cetatenie si dupa citeva cautari pe internet, am
descoperit 1st 4Immigration. Prima convorbire cu Russell m-a convins imediat ca
aceasta firma are deja o experienta vasta in rezolvarea cazurilor cetatenilor
romani cu succes, exact ceea ce cautam eu. Si nu m-am inselat. Russell mi-a
detaliat pas cu pas procedura de aplicatie pentru cetatenie si mi-a raspuns cu
rabdare la toate intrebarile si nedumeririle. Mai presus de toate, mi-a
inspirat optimism si reusita. Asadar, in mai putin de 8 saptamini de la
predarea documentelor cerute, am primit un email de la 1st 4Immigration in care
am fost informata ca ce a fost mai greu a trecut... Aplicatia mea fusese
aprobata de catre Home Office si dupa numai o saptamina am fost in posesia
certificatului de cetatenie/naturalizare. Cu satisfactie pot sa spun ca la
momentul redactarii acestei caracterizari, astept eliberarea primului meu
pasaport britanic. Multumesc din suflet lui Russell si firmei 1st 4Immigration
pentru expertiza si profesionalismul de care au dat dovada in solutionarea
cazului meu. Sunt sigura ca fara dinsii m-ar fi costat multi nervi si stress sa
ajung la acest rezultat". Loredana
We do not read Romanian ourselves but trust the above is positive! Loredana came to us enquiring about British Citizenship, having lived, studied and worked in the UK for more than 6 years. She started exercising Treaty rights from taking a course at a UK university. She also did not buy private medical insurance (aka comprehensive medical insurance) while studying, same most EU nationals did not at the time.
The Rules were changed later, on 20 June 2011, requiring the EU students to have this medical insurance for any time spent studying in the UK, even for those who studied before the new Rules were introduced (most unusual and unfair but it is how it works, unfortunately). In this case, however, we could use the Transitional Arrangements for students: since our client had applied for a Yellow Card while studying (because she wanted to work part-time), she had her status confirmed and therefore, did not need to show she had medical insurance.
Having graduated, our client has been working for a few companies in the UK. She was also worried that she did not have evidence from every single job. We advised to contact HMRC and obtain employment history, which is a list of all employments in one paper. That, together with the available evidence like work contracts and available payslips, worked well. Then we added a Life in the UK test and a degree certificate from the degree which was also used for exercising treaty rights.
