Correct. Your legal residence under EU law would only have started if you were granted derivative residence (and even then, only from the date of the grant, not before). Merely submitting an application for derivative residence does not give residence rights under EU law.Chowdhury82 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:40 pmIt is essential for the Home Office to exercise discretion when counting the time spent in the UK under EU law being exempted from immigration control as a lawful residence

Yes.
No one here argued that time spent under EEA residence does not count towards long residence. Time spent under EEA residence routes count as long as you had valid leave and demonstrate that you/your partner exercised EEA treaty rights.Chowdhury82 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:40 pmIt is essential for the Home Office to exercise discretion when counting the time spent in the UK under EU law being exempted from immigration control as a lawful residence and this statement is in accordance with the Policy Guidance of the Home Office on the 10 years long residence category. Therefore, an individual can merge his or her lawful stay under the UK law with the time spent under the EU law to apply on the basis of the 10 years continuous and lawful residence for an Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.


None of that time counts. As Zimba has already explained, Section 3C leave (which is the leave you have when you make a UK Immigration Rules based application and if it fails, appeal it) does not apply to applications made under EU law.Chowdhury82 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 6:22 pmWhat about my appeal pending on court that time and six months work permit?
