The EU citizen (with whatever EU citizenships they may have) does not ever need to leave the UK. Exactly the same applies to the non-EU family member.

If you are married to an EU citizen who is legally resident in the UK, then you are legally resident in the UK (based solely on your marriage).

No need to leave and enter.

Awsome!

For what it is worth, I think the British government has probably incorrectly incorporated McCarthy into their free movement law. See https://eumovement.wordpress.com/2012/0 ... y-british/ for more details.

I am curious. Prior to renouncing British citizenship, have you in the past primarily made use of your British citizenship or your Irish citizenship? When you needed to use a passport for identifying yourself when travelling and applying for a job, which would you use?

In general it is not needed.

Though the PR confirmation for EU citizens costs only £65 and so is cheap and easy to get out of the way now. If they reject your citizenship application saying you do not have PR then you may loose a larger application fee.

If you can buy CSI for two weeks it might be worth doing. You do not need to buy it for any longer. 3) The fact that I have been dismissed it s not relevant for the decision maker as long as I keep exercising my treaty rights? so why they ask for reason for leaving....? They can ask all they want, b...

Which passport do you use normally? Which passport did you use when you lived in the Netherlands? He has both citizenships; whichever passport he uses won't make any difference. Why would the second question be relevant? His partner probably wasn't there with him and he doesn't have proof. If he ha...

Which passport do you use normally? Which passport did you use when you lived in the Netherlands?

If the RC applicant still has a valid EEA Family Permit it should be no problem, whether travelling with the EU citizen or alone. if they have a passport which does not require a visa for entering the UK: If travelling with the EU citizen, they should have no problem If travelling alone they should ...

Hi guys, I am desperate! I have just been dismissed on Friday 24th April! Next week on 2nd of May I will complete my 5 years residence in Uk! I have always exercised my treaty rights, what can I do now? I have registered myself as jobseeker it is that enough for one week or I have lost everything?!...

I am curious. Why bother applying for confirmation of your PR status if you are European? The only reason I can immediately think of is if you are Croatian or if you want to make a simpler application for Citizenship later.

Who exactly is the EU citizen in this situation?

Work to try to educate your case worker about your status under EU law. That involves clearly explaining why you have PR already.

And then ask that the application for your wife proceed.

Far from the case worker being inept, I would say she is potentially helpful and open. She could just reject the application, and instead she is engaging in dialogue with you. This is rare and wonderful! You should look through https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/eea-swiss-nationals-and-ec-ass...

I would personally suggest you work constructively with the case worker. Your focus should be to point out that you already have PR, and to explain why that is true. That your application for a PR card is merely for a convenient confirmation of the already existing PR status. Why do you think the ca...

Writing to the caseworker to reconsider is a good idea. You may also write to the European Operational Policy Team. They have in the past gently contacted colleagues who do not fully understand the European law issues. Do not ask them to "intervene". Just point out there may be a misunderstanding an...

First question, do I still remain under immigration control, if I do not apply for PR in May 2010? What will be my status after this point? 2. I have a baby 6 months, She does not have any passport yet. is she able to get a British passport now? if not, when? 3. When my wife will be settled status?...

I am not even sure I fully understand the benefit of PR when done through the Singh route compared to the initial 5 year residence. In neither case does the EU (UK!) citizen need to be working. I am not sure about restrictions on public assistance in the initial 5 year period. I would be interested ...

How long have you been working in the UK?

What is the citizenship of the EU citizen? Are you living with them?

Normally no financial information needs to be provided when applying for an EEA Family Permit

There is never a requirement that the non-EU spouse do anything specific, other than to be married to the EU citizen. They do not have to have money or a job.
