EEA family member with PR card applying for British citizenship

Post by Malik_01 » Sat Nov 25, 2017 4:55 pm

Hi everyone,

I need your kind help.

I am non EU family member of an EU citizen. My wife has already applied for her BC after one year of her PR. Lets say if she becomes BC, then what are my changes of geting BC after my PR due in March 2019. I heard from other people that I do not need to wait 1 year after my PR and can apply straightway provided that my other half is already British. Is that true?

Your time and attention to answer my query would be much appreciated.

Correct, assuming you meet all the standard requirements including permitted absences and good character etc.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Is that true?
Yes, provided you hold a PR card and meet all the requirements to apply based on 3 years as a spouse of BC.

HI Casa and CROO1,

Does that mean that I have to count my 3 years from the time my wife becomes BC? Because, if that's the case, then I better stick with the 1 year after PR.

Thanks a lot again :)

No, it is 3 years residence and being married to a BC at the time of application, regardless of how long your spouse has been a BC.

Hello Guys,

Thank you so much for your valuable time. I really appreciate your effort in reply to my queries.

Good news: My wife got her BC now and is about to attend an oath ceremony.

I need to know that I have also heard that if my wife is British, then she is no longer considered as EEA national under the EEA regulations and would rather be considered under UK immigration law now to reside in the UK, is that true? Despite the fact that she still holds her EU passport.

If so, then could you kindly let me know my rights as my PR is due next year before the Brexit date.

I would once again appreciate your prompt reply.

If you know someone legal or professional, who can give me an advice, then that would also be appreciated.

Thank you,

Malik

Malik, What nationality is your wife before the BC?
