Hi all,
Who can apply for work permit and how long is the visa for? does work permit means a family member under EU regulations(when u r living with EEA spouse but not married) and is it count for 5 yrs residency towards PR?

spike, im getting a tad confused as to what your situation actually is from the various posts of yours i have seen.

IF you are a family member of an EEA national you do not need a work permit.

a partner is NOT a family member, they are an Other Family Member.

IF you are living with an EEA national in the UK, and you are not an EEA national then you are either their spouse of partner.

MelC,
Sorry for confusing u but I just want to know, whether when I joined my spouse by only living with her,,,am I a family member or not? just to know im eligible for PR or not.

I seen cases people in same as my situation(2 yrs together and 3 yrs married) but had work permit only and got PR(after refusal).
Get me proper answer please and I will delete all my posts because im getting confused too

There may be less confusion if you stick to one thread.

Your question has already been answered in your previous post.

Same goes to your questions about eligibility for PR - which was answered here.

I understand you are worried but asking the same questions again won't change things. I suggest you wait until a decision is made by the HO.
