I do apologise if this has been asked before. I am the wife of a British national that has excercised his free movement rights in An EU state, I hold a residence card of a family member of a EU citizen article 10 and entered the UK with this. I received an stamp stating admitted to the United Kingdom under eea regulations 2006. I have applied for my UKRC however it doesn't look good the outcome of it. Due to not being in Host country too long . So I'm preparing for a negative response. We want to apply for FLR(m) however we are not sure if we meet the immigration status requirements as set out in
E-LTRP.2.1. The applicant must not be in the UK- (a) as a visitor; or
(b) with valid leave granted for a period of 6 months or less, unless that leave is as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, or was granted pending the outcome of family court or divorce proceedings
E-LTRP.2.2. The applicant must not be in the UK –
(a) on temporary admission or temporary release, unless paragraph EX.1. applies; or
(b) in breach of immigration laws (disregarding any period of overstaying for a period of 28 days or less), unless paragraph EX.1. applies

I need some advice whether my immigration status would be ok for FLR(m) as we all know it's not cheap and that excluding solicitor fees.
I know of someone in the same position as me. Refused UKRC, made a fresh application for UKRC (received certificate of application stating they has right to work etc )to buy time to get documents ready for FLR . FLR granted. Please note it stays on people's UKRC refusal they can make a separate application for FLR(m)

Please help
Thank you

4 months, and yes I did. But the home office seem not to think so.
Anything less than 1 year in host state today is a refusal.
I'm on a group on facebook, and a lot of people are getting refusals.

Ah really but if you got family permit length of stay is also considered under centre of life test so surely they cant deny a rc but give you a family permit at the same time. It will simply pass on appeal. HO and their stupid made up rules.

It would be interesting to get anyone else''s opinion on this,

Thanks for replying you never know they could still say yes to the RC be hopeful. It can depend on how well you integrated not just length of time.

I'm in exactly the same position. Looking for exactly the same information as would be happy to go down the route of FLR (M) providing we qualify.

I know someone in the exactly the same position and her husband got granted FLR. But it's a lot of money considering they could refuse saying your immigration status is not sufficient. Scary.
If you have any updates let me know

Yes, I do too but I only know of one person so far. It's a lot of money to lose. To be honest, it's probably the same person as you know.
