when the 5 Years Start?

Dear Sir Madam

thank you for your useful forum.

I have some questions and please I need Help:

I am a non EEA and My wife is EEA
will the 5 years resident start from the marriage date or the Resident visa date? because the visa date started 9 Months after the Marriage Date.

second question is:

if my Wife get the Permanent resident before me will the home office switch me to the British Law automatic or I have the Choice to remain in the EEA Law and which better for Me?

third question is:
my right to apply for a Permanent Resident will be in March 2012,
will the new earning Point System effect me if I work, pay Tax,Passed English Test , pass English History Exam? is there any thing do I need.

thanks

1. 5 years will start from marriage date, regardless of when RC is issued.

2. You cannot interchange between EU and UK rules. It's one or the other!

3. PR is automatic after 5 years!
