Hi

I will write a bit of background information before so that you can get the full picture.

My husband is Albanian, I am british, we have been married for 5 years, together for seven. We were living in Greece 2007-2009, my husband was successfully granted a 5 year residence card to stay in Greece.

We then applied for an EEA FP to come to the UK as I was exercising my treaty rights in Greece, this took absolutely ages to be decided but nonetheless was successful

Now, we are living together in UK, renting a house, paying our bills together etc, I am on job seekers allowance now, as ALL my benefits stopped when my husband entered the country. My husband is a qualified driver (of all licence categories exc:FL & CB) and is also seeking work but has no recourse to public funds.......

we have a soon to be one year old baby...hence my jobseekers, as apparently I have right to maternity leave up until my baby is a year old. ?

I am under the understanding that me being on JSA is enough in terms of exercising my treaty rights within the UK, BUT can someone pleae tell me how to go about applying for the next visa or residence card??

My husbands current visa (multi EEA FP to join (me) ) is valid from 01/10 - 07/10 ( 6 months validity).

If my husband was to take the life in the UK test now, would it still be valid in a few years when he would become a british citizen? he is not too keen on becoming a BC , is there any other way around this eg ILR?

Any help on the next step would be very much appreciated....

Thankyou in advance

Please excuse me but I tried to delete one of my duplicate topics as i posted in the wrong area......My husband has now RECIEVED the eea fp and is here in the uk with me, whereas before, he was yet to apply for the Greek residence permit. We now have a baby too. I am asking about the next step, totally different from before. It's Not a problem if no one is prepared to help us out, but really wanderer MUST you be so hostile towards me? I am only on here seeking advice, as that is what www.immigrationboards.com is for. IF anyone has any help to give, please comment. Thank you.

Aplying Under European Law.

Please note that the UK authorities require you to be exercising a treaty right on your return before your family member will qualify for residency, although i think this requirement is illegal, in light of the Eind ruling.
