For the avoidance of doubt, what is written on your residence card next to "STATUS"?

Also, what are the following:

1) Date of expiration
2) Period of validity of this card
Still didn't answer this, so I don't think we resolved anything. But it sounds like you're good, anyway.

I went to the immigration office last Friday and asked about my status concerning my income and where or not I needed my wife to sponsor me. The looked at my PR card and said I don't need a sponsor, so I'm fine on that and I explained about my income, said he sees no problem on that either.
Yes a picture and Passport I have to bring along with the paper he gave me to fill out. So it seems like I good on this. No police record either.

Again, thanks for your replies, much appreciated.
If you have permanent residency and are just renewing your card, it is a bureacratic formality. You are not applying for anything, just getting a new card. Your status is unchanged.

Nothing to worry about.

Thanks. I do hope it all goes well for me.
