non-EEA eligible for PR (half married, half non married)?

Dear all,

I would really appreciate if you could shed some thoughts on this. I called a few lawyers for initial consultation and they seem to have different opinions.

In essence, my question is: As a Non-EEA national, can I apply for PR after 2.5 years as un-married co-habiting family member of an EEA national and another 2.5 years as married family member of the same person?

My husband/then boyfriend has been working full time throughout this period. I now hold an EEA residence card but I had work visa and PSW visa before.

Appreciate someone could share some thoughts, especially if you have similiar experience.

Many thanks!

Vicky

Not possible if you did not hold an EFM RC naming your partner/sponsor whilst unmarried.

If no such EFM RC then the PR clock starts when you married sponsor assuming he was a qualified person from then onwards (and that any/all absences you have enjoyed have been within prescribed limits).

Thank you for your kind advice!
