Relevant EEA national's activity

[cindy88]

Hi secret.simon,
thank you for taking the time to write this useful reply.

a) Did you work (continuously) between 2007 & 2010?

I didn't work but I studied and I had my European Health Insurance Card, however it seems not clear whether this card would be considered valid evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance by the HO. I might try to contact the HO and ask them....

Make absolutely sure that your husband does not apply for British citizenship before you get your PR (in January 2020, according to my calculations). If he acquires British citizenship, his sponsorship of you under EU law will cease.

Could you please elaborate on this? So, if my husband acquired British citizenship before I acquired PR he wouldn't be able to be my sponsor in my PR application, but, how would I then be able to apply? why wouldn't a British citizen be able to sponsor me, would I need to get another sponsor? Could you please be so kind to point me to the Eu regulations about this matter, many thanks.

How do spouses of British Citizens acquire Br. citizenship then? I assume they would still need to go through PR application (provide 5 years of evidence exercising treaty rights) AND apply for Naturalization (providing evidence or residence for the past 3 years). Is this right?

Thanks again secret.simon

C.

On CSI - foreign-EHIC IS acceptable:

In this context BCs are not EEA citizens.

EEA nationals who are also British citizens are not considered to be ‘EEA nationals’ for the purposes of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’). This applies whether or not the British citizen has always resided in the UK.
A family member of a dual EEA national and British citizen does not have a right of residence under the regulations on the basis of their relationship to the dual national.
If they do not have a right of residence on any other basis under the regulations, they will need leave to enter or remain in the UK under the Immigration Rules.

Clearly, if no sponsor, and no way that the holy grail of PR status was acquired in own right, then its going to be curtains if remaining sponsor naturalises at the 'wrong' time.
With Brexit looming it may be a case of who blinks first.

Hello,
I'm going to try to apply for PR doc in my own right.
I was either a student or self sufficient for most of the time, I'm going to provide evidence for all the time I've been living in the UK since my arrival in 2007 and let the case worker decide which 5 year period should be my qualifying period.

When I say I was self-sufficient I mean that I was financially supported by savings of our previous jobs( jobs my then boyfriend and I had prior to coming in the UK) or my husband's UK jobs.

In section 9.9 of the form (page 49) I should state how much I received and how often but since we've always had a joint bank account I wasn't given a periodic and fixed amount of money, I could access money whenever I needed to. I think it would be enough to explain this in section 9.10 and leave those two columns blank...?

How many bank statements should I provide for each year?

I also need to provide a signed and dated letter from my husband confirming that he has been supporting me + evidence of his finances, would the same bank statements I'm going to provide for myself be enough to prove his finances? I guess so, also because he doesn't have any other income except for his job.

When I was a studying I had my Italian EHIC which covered that period, so fingers crossed this piece of evidence is going to suffice.

Thanks again for your precious help

Makes sense.

Perhaps 3-4 quarterly statements per year.

Makes sense.

Yes.
