Hi guys,
I come back once more to this really helpful website to ask for your help and advice on my case.
I am a non-EEA National and I arrived to UK in Nov 2009 to join my wife (EEA citizen). I used a Family Permit (as a family member of an EEA citizen) which gave me the entry clearance to UK. This permit was valid until Apr 2010.
On 4th Oct 2010 I applied for a EEA2 Residence Card (RC) which I received on 2nd Feb 2011. This RC has been my legal document to stay in UK up until now and it is still valid until 2016.
I want now to apply for an ILR as I am on the edge (or probably already over) the 5 years requirement to apply for it and this is where your knowledge and advise would be of great help.
My doubt is:
If I consider only the period from when I received my EEA2 RC (Feb 2011), this means I am just on 4 years since I got it, so 1 year to go to ILR.
If I consider the day I applied for it (Oct 2010) then Oct this year would be the date to apply for the ILR.
If I consider the initial Family Permit I had to join my EEA wife then that means that since Nov 2014 I was already entitled to apply for the ILR.
Which of the 3 options above is the correct one to determine when I should apply for the ILR?
A few pieces of info:
My wife has been working and still works in UK since Oct 2008.
I have been working and still working in UK since Dec 2009.
We are happily married and living together in UK.
Thanks in advance for your help,
BEN
