Yes, we lived and I worked in the Repulic of Ireland, my wife received the UK family permit in 2013 and when we moved back to the UK she applied for the UK residence card which expires in 2019.noajthan wrote:Are you a qualified person (in UK)? ie in EU immigration context
Is the question about current rights or what potential transitional arrangments for EU citizens after Brexit? The later of which haven't been written yet but fingers crossed they come to agreement with other EEA countries shortly after the withdrawal negotiations begin.mufc69 wrote:Hello, my wife is from the Philippines and has now settled in the U.K. under Surinder Singh for more than 3 years now, would like to know if those who have settled in the U.K. under SS will also have the right to remain as other Europeans will?

Under current rules my wife can apply for permanent residence in 2018 as she will then have 5 years of continuous residence in the UK, do you think she will still be able to apply for PR or will she also be gave rights to remain with other qualified EU citizens?noajthan wrote:I didn't mean in your host country but now, in UK.
The UK changes to EEA Regs (November 2015) appear to have done away with Eind and require the BC sponsor to be a qualified person.
On possible post-Brexit arrangements, see:

PR acquired by 2018 may now depend if you have been a qualified person since your joint return to UK.mufc69 wrote:Under current rules my wife can apply for permanent residence in 2018 as she will then have 5 years of continuous residence in the UK, do you think she will still be able to apply for PR or will she also be gave rights to remain with other qualified EU citizens?

As for transitional arrangements, noone can say.
You will have to rely on the traditional British sense of fair play and whatever comes out of negotiations.
As a dual citizen from Northern Ireland , i think my wife applying for Irish naturalisation might be an easier process instead of going through this whole hassle again.MrSlyFox wrote:You have to meet all the requirements that EEA Nationals have to meet minus one or two such as the requirement that health insurance must extend to the British Citizen etc.
Here is the guidance for family members of British Citizens:

I'm a British and Irish citizen from Northern Ireland and this is the problem i face. My wife is from the Philippines and has been living in the UK on a residence card since 2013 under Surinder Singh after we both lived and worked in the Republic of Ireland, we now have 2 children both born in the UK and now we dont know what is going to happen?mkhan2525 wrote:If they go by that date then they are essentially implying that EU free movement rights ended on 23rd June 2016. That cannot be right since we are still a member of the EU for atleast another 2 years from the date Article 50 has been triggered and the Brexit date should be the date where exisiting resident rights are protected from.
The Labour ammendents also do not take into account non-EU family members of EU nationals and also those who benefit from EU law. What will happen to the rights of people who fall into these categories?
