I thoughts so as well, but now when I was going through all my documents I realised that it will be difficult to prove that I had health issurance during the first 2 years of my residence when I was a student... I still need to check if my part- time job at that time covered it... but in any way I ...

What if I am in the UK and searching for job, can I re-apply for his residence for another 5 years now while he is detention centre? Could be he released without even going to court (court is next month)

This is a real court case, unfortunately. There are no serious criminal matters involved. Is just that I was not in the UK when he got detained. But now I am moving back.

I hope someone could advise me...

If EEA national has a permanent residency, can EEA national be absent from the UK for 2 years while a non- EEA spouse, who has residency only for 5 years, remains in the UK?

Thank for your answers
