Time spent in the UK does not count as lawful residence under paragraph 276A of the Immigration Rules for
third country nationals who have spent time in the UK as:

the spouse, civil partner or other family member of an European Union (EU) , or an EEA national exercising
their treaty rights to live in the UK but have not qualified for permanent residence

former family members who have retained a right of residence.

During the time spent in the UK under the provisions of the EEA regulations, the individuals
are not subject to immigration control,and would not be required to have leave to enter or leave to remain.
For more information,see related link:05 Residence card applications

However, you must apply discretion and count time spent in the UK as lawful residence for
family members of EU or EEA nationals exercising their treaty rights to reside in the UK,
if they meet all the other requirements for long residence.

EEA regulations are outside the UK immigration rules. Long Residence ILR is based on UK immigration rules so strictly speaking time under EEA regulations should not count. However, in practice, discretion is applied and it does count as long as you can demonstrate you are following the EEA requirements (EEA national is exercising treaty rights). You will need to provide evidence to show the EEA national was exercising treaty rights during that time.

Dear Jambo

Thanks for your info I am very glad. Could you please tell me in more detail you said:

discretion is applied and it does count as long as you can demonstrate you are following the EEA requirements (EEA national is exercising treaty rights). You will need to provide evidence to show the EEA national was exercising treaty rights during that time.

My question is what kind of evidence do I have to show or proof them is from my side.
Or do I need some kind of evidence from my wife which is EU National.

Best Regards

Precisely.

All things being equal, you will need to established that your spouse was a qualified person, during the period you seek to claim lawful residence under the EEA regulations, for your application to succeed.

you need to know if not what exercising treaty rights mean and that the time you spent in uk with eea national as a family member depends on the activities of eu national fam member.
say she is or was working through out the two years u want to add to your 10 years haul, provide salary slips of your wife, letters from employers or any thing that can prove that she was working/studying or any means of exercising the treaty rights

For long 10 years legal residency you are require
1:your valid passport and all old passports
2:your last 3 months bank statements.
3:your EEA national sponcer and your 2 years proof of residency and EEA nationals treaty rights.(payslips etc).

Nothing else.

As you spend 8 years under immigration laws so they have your all 8 years record.

As you spend 2 years as a family member of an EEA national so you are require to prove that 2 years spend in the UK according to the EU regulations.

And that's all.nothing else.

You will have to prove that your EEA national partner were a qualified person and therefore will certainly need the evidences to be attached along with the long residence application. Whatever mode of treaty rights your EEA partner exercised its evidences will be needed. If you check EEA4 form then the same evidences will be required for that period.

Note:
The right you get is mainly derived from the activities of your EEA national partner and in order to be counted that period as legal residence these evidences are imperative.

I don't think EEA national need to be registered . as long he/she looking for job in Job center, online or offline and can show proof of rejection or applications for job to various companies.

How many people register with job centre for job seeker allowance if they are professional?
