Partner of dual citizen

Hello!

I will acquire permanent residence on 18th July (our 5 year wedding anniversary). My husband and I are both EU nationals, but I plan to apply as his dependent as I was not exercising treaty rights myself throughout the last 5 years (but he was).

On 12th July, my husband has his citizenship ceremony, becoming a dual UK EU citizen. Will this be a problem for my application? At the moment I am exercising treaty rights myself (working), so I could, in principle, submit evidence of this for the missing 6 days.

But of course this is more trouble, and there isn't even a place in the form for "mixed" applications like this (ie some periods of time a dependent, some periods exercising treaty rights myself), so I'd like to avoid this if possible. Do you think it is necessary?

Also - if I do rely on a combination of being a partner of a qualified person and being a qualified person myself - how do I enter this in the form?

In Section 9 " Relevant EEA national’s activity in the UK", there is only space to enter one person's details and activities.

No. Lounes will be incorporated in the EEA Regulations on 24 July, and will cover you. Additionally, it appears that case workers have already been implementing Lounes, at least in cases where it clearly applies; yours is a case where it clearly applies.
