On what basis did you qualify for an EEA Residence Permit? Spouse, unmarried partner or extended family member??EEA Residence Permit in 2019
That was on behalf of someone else - my cousin. Just thought I wouldn't over complicate things by adding "on behalf of"kamoe wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:09 pmI thought you said in a previous post that you had settled status?
Always add that if you are asking on behalf of somebody else. Your post history will be looked at in order to give you a better more detailed answer.
My cousin has a different equation than mine since he's a EU citizen. He got it through that.secret.simon wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:34 pmAlways add that if you are asking on behalf of somebody else. Your post history will be looked at in order to give you a better more detailed answer.
As CR001 has asked above, how did your cousin acquire their EEA residence Permit? As the spouse or durable partner of an EEA citizen or under some other category?
When did your step dad become your step dad? When did he arrive in the UK? Can you please give a detailed timeline of all this, mentioning at least the month and year of events?
Absolutely.
Thanks for the clarification. If you don't mind me asking, on what basis have you figured this?secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 6:02 pmThe residency will count from the time you became the step-child/family member of the EU citizen.
As the EU citizen married your mother in 2019, your residency clock for the purpose of Settled Status will start from the date of marriage of your EU step-father and your mother. Your mother (assuming that she was already resident in the UK) and you can apply for Settled Status on the fifth anniversary of your mother and EU step-father's marriage.

I have lost count of how many times I've seen messages here reporting that the EU Settlement Scheme contact centre tells wrong information.niloy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:01 pmBecause I called the EU Settlement Scheme twice and got two different answers each time, one said what you said and another person said if I can provide evidence I was there in the UK in 2018 (with the usual stuff like bank statement), then they'd also count 2018.
The post above wil give you vinny's very succint reference for the legal framework.So are you saying this based on experience of seeing other cases like mine or is there a document somewhere outlining this rule?
Thanks for the link
Ok thanks. One last question please. Does the clock start from the date their marriage was registered (July 2019), or from the month my pre-settlement got valid (December 2019)kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:25 pmI have lost count of how many times I've seen messages here reporting that the EU Settlement Scheme contact centre tells wrong information.niloy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:01 pmBecause I called the EU Settlement Scheme twice and got two different answers each time, one said what you said and another person said if I can provide evidence I was there in the UK in 2018 (with the usual stuff like bank statement), then they'd also count 2018.The post above wil give you vinny's very succint reference for the legal framework.So are you saying this based on experience of seeing other cases like mine or is there a document somewhere outlining this rule?
There are multiple examples in this site of people in your same situation:
- Person came on a Tier visa to the UK as non-EU national.
- Became family member of EU national some time after that.
If you want to read a fragment of an official decision letter, the most recent example of how the Home Office responds to those applications is here.
- Applied to the Settlement Scheme thinking all their UK residency counts, but are told that only the years lived as EU family member count towards the 5 years needed for Settled Status.
secret.simon already answered in quoted message above. Clearly on their wedding date, so July 2019.secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 6:02 pmThe residency will count from the time you became the step-child/family member of the EU citizen.

Assuming that she was already resident in the UK before the wedding of course.
Indeed. I Hence why I asked the OP for specifics on their and their parents timeline.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 6:35 pmAssuming that she was already resident in the UK before the wedding of course.
First sentence in OPs first post in this topic tells you the answer.kamoe wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:02 pmIndeed.

I came to the UK in 2018 on a Student Visa but got my EEA Residence Permit in 2019.
If she did not have a legal visa before the wedding, how does that change the equation? Basically me and my mother both got the resident card around the same time. Except I had Student Visa before I had the card and she did not have any visa.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 6:35 pmAssuming that she was already resident in the UK before the wedding of course.
The main point is, it's relevant to know when she was both a legal UK resident AND you step dad's wife. When both these conditions were met, assuming you were resident in n the UK on the date, that's when your clock starts.niloy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 2:02 pmIf she did not have a legal visa before the wedding, how does that change the equation?

Does this change anything about when the clock starts?
