Re: ILR application - is my 5 year period complete?

Under EEA Regulations this is called Permanent Residence (PR) not ILR (which is under the UK immigration rules). You have obtained PR status automatically after 5 years (Nov 2014) if your wife has been working for 5 continuous years. See the FAQ for more details.

Re: EEA citizen but permanent residency broken for 13 months

Thank you for the replies - this is very helpful. I didn't have a passport when I first came in 1998, only a French ID card. There was no need for a VISA, coming from a EU country so I don't have any record of any date of entry. However, I do have pay slips and P60s dating back to this period as I ...

Re: Does EU treaty rights need even after ILR

No. Treaty rights are not needed after PR or ILR.

After ILR you are not dependant anymore.

Re: EU Treaty Rights after obtaining PR card

You need to prove you meet the residence requirements for the full 5 years (before the application) when applying for naturalisation. Not only the time since you achieved PR (requirements for PR and naturalisation are different). Normally a passport is all that is needed to prove residency for natur...

Once you obtain PR (after 5 continuous years of exercising treaty rights), there is no more need to exercise treaty rights.

It counts if you have applied at the time as unmarried partner of EEA national. If you just have been on visa student, then it doesn't count.

Re: EEA3 Rejected, please advise

I would be careful you use that lawyer as he doesn't seem to be familiar with EU rules. If you can't qualify for PR under the EU rules, you won't be able to qualify for ILR under the 10 years rules.

Re: can child borned abroad apply for BC if parent get ILR

After registration, if you apply for a British passport for them, they will automatically lose Indian citizenship and will need to surrender their Indian passport. Alternatively, you can apply for a CoE-RoA in their Indian passport. That will allow them to retain their Indian passport until the age...

British citizenship is based on British Nationality Act not EU rules.

Re: Am I eligible?

If you have worked for 5 continuous years, you have PR status even if you later stopped working. Your husband would also have same status (as your family member) even if he doesn't qualify by his own. You can apply for British citizenship if you have PR status for 1 year.

Re: Can I get Code 1A (EEA dep) stamp and then EEA2 for my w

Technically yes although in Surinder Singh cases, my recommendation would be to go for Family Permit to ensure you got the required documents and satisfy the HO. You don't want to get refused for a EEA2 application after you moved back.

A born abroad child would need to apply when his parent apply. He can't apply by his own. See the FAQ (links below) for more details.

What you are missing is the timing. i.e. - be in the UK for 5 years - lived with the EEA national for 5 years as a family member - EEA national bas been exercising treaty rights. You need to complete 5 years as a family member. You only regarded as family member if you are married or (if not married...

Very simple. Under EEA regulations, only spouse of EEA national has automatic rights. Unmarried partner doesn't have automatic rights. So time under EEA regulations is counted (automatically) if married. If unmarried, time only counts if an application under the EEA regulations has been made (the au...
