EEA Settled Status and Employment

Post by aeun-flux » Wed Apr 06, 2022 5:24 pm

Good evening all Immigration Gurus,

I have a small query, please see below:

I am a naturalized British Citizen and my wife is an EEA National with ILR (Settled status). We recently welcomed a new baby ( we already had another child who is not born in UK).

Question - now that Mum is on Maternity leave and will be looking to resign from her current role so that she can look after the baby full-time. Is there a requirement for her to be constantly employed as that used to be a clause back in the days when EEA Treaty rights were established ? I don't remember exactly, but it was something like she couldn't have a gap in her employment for 5 years.. or are we thinking too much ?

Thanks a million in advance and please feel free to criticize if I sound incoherent.. its due to baby brain :D

Congrats for the new arrival!

Settled Status is a UK immigration status (no longer based on EU Treaty Rights regulations) - it is on residency basis, irrespective whether you work, what you work, or not.

And of course new baby is British - go straight for the passport!

Sincere apologies for my late reply. Wife, Teen, Baby and Work are very hard to juggle :roll:

Thank you so so much for your advice... :D :)
