Rights of Non-EEA national with PR status!!! Urgent please..

Post by mikey-mikey » Sat Aug 20, 2011 11:20 pm

Hello guys,

I am Non-EEA National; I acquired a Permanent Residence Card in UK (valid for 10 years); I obtained it from my marriage of an EEA National (after a 5 years of continuous lawful living in UK).

I have some questions to be answered please:

1- It is valid for 10 years, so is it the same as Indefinite Leave to Remain (regarding rights in UK)?

2- Am I still dependent on my spouse of EEA national? Or do I have my own rights of living in UK now?

3- In case, I have ceased to be family member of an EEA National.
a) Will I lose my rights of Permanent Residence?
b) Do I need to apply for another permit?
c) Do I need to inform Home Office?
d) Will I be able to apply and obtain a British Citizenship after a year of PR (on my own rights)?


Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Mike

1- It is valid for 10 years, so is it the same as Indefinite Leave to Remain (regarding rights in UK)? Irrespective of the 10 year validity on the vignette your PR status is valid indefinitely, provided you are not absent from the UK for more than 2 consecutive years.

2- Am I still dependent on my spouse of EEA national? No Or do I have my own rights of living in UK now? Yes

3- In case, I have ceased to be family member of an EEA National.
a) Will I lose my rights of Permanent Residence? No
b) Do I need to apply for another permit? No, unless you are absent from the UK as in (1) above.
c) Do I need to inform Home Office? No
d) Will I be able to apply and obtain a British Citizenship after a year of PR (on my own rights)?Yes

have you tried looking around yourself for the information on the UKBA website? there is plenty of information there. Try the European Casework Instructions on Permanent Residence.
