EEA wife has been employed for 2 years. After taking 52 weeks of maternity leave (while still being employed by the company) she left the employment and became self sufficient and got CSI. Her non EEA husband, currently holding EEA RC, is providing for her by transferring funds regularly.

Does this qualify as continuous residency for EEA wife so that at the end of 5 year period non EEA husband is eligible to apply for PR?

Tricky one.

The intention of the person is very relevant.

Failure to return back will indicate there was no intention in the first place and therefore there was no link between maternity and lack of engagement in the job market..
