EEA4 - when am I eligible for PR?

[avgjoe]

Hi all

Am about to submit, but thought I'd double check this as I fear I may not be able to apply.

• Married, 19/03/2009 outside of the UK
• Wife (EU national) arrives 28/03/2009 with a confirmed employment
• I (non EU) arrive 18 June 2009 with a visa in my old passport
• In Nov 2009, I apply for a residence permit which was granted Dec 16, 2009

Now I want to apply for my EEA4 on the basis that I have been here from 18 June 2009 to now (5 years and 1 month). Also, I can prove that my wife was exercising treaty rights continuously without a break for that period.

Can I do that, or can I only apply later in the year closer to the EEA2 expiry date (16 Dec 2014)

Regards

You can apply now. The date on the RC is irrelevant.
