Continuous residence question, Part on Pre-Settled and part on 5 Year spouse route

Post by freshVanilla » Sun Jul 24, 2022 7:07 pm

Hello,

I am a non-EU citizen, and have entered the UK based on an EEA Family permit for 6 months,

Then my spouse got a British citizenship,

Switched to 5 Year route and got 2.5 year FLR(M) visa 6 month after entering the UK

stayed for 2 years on FLR(M) visa, then switched and got EU Pre-settled status


It has been almost 3.5 years now ( 6 months EEA FP, 2 years FLR(M), 1 year Pre-settled)


Will my continuous period be interrupted by these different types of visas, and when can I apply for settled status please

If the sponsor has always been the same EU national, then you have not interrupted your stay in the UK.
If that is the case, you will qualify for Settled Status 5 years after your first entry under a EEA Family Permit.
