EEA (PR) - question about family member

Post by bertuzzist » Tue Jun 28, 2016 8:42 am

Hello

As a EEA qualified person I am about to apply for a EEA (PR) card.
I would like to include my wife in the application (EEA national) - quick question: since she has always been a dependant of mine can I be considered her sponsor (ie she has never worked nor has looked for a job)? If so do I have to complete sections 2 and 11? Or the fact she has lived for more than 5 years in the UK now is enough?

Thank you in advance

Yes, if you have at least 5 years of marriage, and wife has been in UK at same time as you for 5 years (cohabitation is not mandatory under EU law), then go for it.
(Assuming no prolonged absences from UK).

You don't need section 2 as you are the main applicant.
The form is oddly worded but it seems you need section 11 (and a whole bunch of others).
All that is gold does not glitter; Not all those who wander are lost. E&OE.
