EEA or FLR(M)

Sorry if this has come up before, but I couldn't find a post with my question, which is:

My fiancée is from the EU (Greece) and has been living and working within the UK for the last 13 years continuously.

We have been together 4 years but only living together 10 months and only engaged 3 months. We wil be married in 4 months time.

My fiancée would like to return to Greece for a 15 month job, then come back to the UK

She owns a home in the UK.

What should she apply for? I was given form FLR(M) from citizen advice but then told to look at guidance for EEA (PR)???

Is there anywhere that spells out FLR and the different EEA forms? Or can anyone help me specifically?

Huge thanks in advance for you help

Jono

Has she worked for five continuous years at any point in time in the UK? If so, she will already have acquired PR and does not need to apply on FLR(M).

If the date of acquiring PR (the date that she finished working for five continuous years) has been at least one year in the past, she can apply for a DCPR and after getting it, apply for British citizenship.

If she has not worked for five continuous years, give us a history of her life in the UK and we will attempt to guide you further.

Yes she has worked for five continuous years, and is still working for the same employer.

Does this mean a PR card is all she is best applying for?

Thanks again

That is all she should need to reside in the UK. If that period of five continuous years ended at least one year ago, she can apply for British citizenship immediately after getting the DCPR.

Apply for a DCPR.
