Hi Guys
I need your helps about my situation.I appreciate for all your response
I am EEA Spouse and my wife is polish origin but let me clarify my story first
We got married and I got my EEA1 Visa in june 2009.And I know this is start of my 5 years period.Then I got my EEA2.Then my wife got her BC. And soon my 5 years period will end in in june 2014(hope I am right?).
So my question is; can I apply for BC directly or will I have to apply for EEA4(Independent visa) and then BC?(as my wife was granted for naturalization)
Please help thanks

EEA4 is optional. It provides confirmation of Permanent right of residence (PR) (
15).
You may apply for British citizenship directly when
eligible, after PR is attained (
2).

As I said above, EEA4 is optional. You don't have to apply for it if you don't want to.

Sorry to question again again vinny.i just wanted to make sure.
Because i know normally ,to marry with BC as spouse,waiting time is 3 years to have citizenship.But i got 5 yeea2 visa.because my wife was polish. But now BC anymore.so this means i dont wait 1 more year for BC?
Hope now i clarified more.

That's correct. You may be
eligible from June 2014 (completing 5 years in the UK, after marriage).

Suggest you use the
NCS, so they can check that all the requirements are met.

Attaining PR is just one requirement. There are also other
requirements to meet!

Vinny has suggested you use the NCS, I suggest you take him up on that. If you don't have a PR document you'll need to evidence your right to PR in addition to KoLL and the other requirements.

Hi Amber; I have all documents for EEA4 and BC.I just want to wait longer if i have right to apply for BC.If my wife got herBC, my 5 year should be reduced to 3 years.It means by 5years waiting time,i could apply for BC.If i want to make sure.Because if i will be refused then i will lose money and stuff like that.
I just want answer,if someone is sure about right answer.
Thanks again

You can not apply BC if you do not have PR or ILR
Because PR is not requirement if you are under EEA law you can apply BC 6 years after living in the UK as family member of an EU national
or 5 years if married to BC
UK Student Visa : 04/2004 - 09/2009
EEA Residence Card : 07/2010 - 7/2015
EU Settled Status: Confirmed on 16th July 2019
Naturalisation : Confirmed on 02nd Oct 2020
Passport Approval : 21st Feb 2021

after divorce you are no longer spouse of a British citizen so you can't apply after 5 years. it will be 6 years
UK Student Visa : 04/2004 - 09/2009
EEA Residence Card : 07/2010 - 7/2015
EU Settled Status: Confirmed on 16th July 2019

that's right the minute you are divorced you are no longer married to British citizen. than normal rules apply.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

It's difficult to give a definite response without seeing all the
evidence that you intend to provide. That's why I suggested the
NCS.
