I ( Non- EEA family member) is going to apply for EEA 4 after living in the UK for more than 5 years and I have been working for the last 7 years in the UK.

I am wondering if my husband needs to have CSI for me to apply for EEA4

His status is

1) He (EU) gained residence card while he was a student in 2004

2) He gained permanent residence card in 2012. Although he was a PHD student at that time of applying for PR, CSI was not requirement because of a reason (1) so He has never had CSI.

3) My husband is still PHD student.

Does he need to have CSI for me to apply for EEA4? Am I correct in thinking that I don't have to have CSI as I am working.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance

CSI is not required since he obtained PR. you never needed a CSI anyway as he was a student (CSI only required for the EEA national). Your work is irrelevant to the application.

Thank you very much for the reply!!

I would like to ask you one more question.

I ticked below question as my husband is a student

In EEA 4 page 28, For time spent as a student: evidence of a school---- or university letter confirming your EEA national family member's enrollment on a course of study. evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance.

That's why I thought he needs to have CSI for my EEA application. Your EEA national family member = my husband= student.

what can I do with this question? Can I ignore this and Can I not mention about my husband current status in my cover letter/supporting documents?

In section 7 just tick If your EEA national family member has a document certifying permanent residence, please tick this box and go to section 8, otherwise please complete section 7 below. and on page 29 tick If your EEA national family member has the right of permanent residence: your EEA national family member’s document certifying permanent residence..

What he does now is irrelevant. No need to tick that.
