Permanent residence for EEA spouse of a dual UK/EEA citizen

[rob.wieczorek]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone will be able to assist with the following, as I have spent several hours reading various regulations and guidance notes for EEA(PR) as well as British Citizenship (AN) application forms, and I am confused to say the least!

Here is the situation:

My husband: EEA citizen, naturalized as a British citizen in 2011.

Myself: EEA citizen, moved to the UK in 2005, married to my husband since 2007, worked some of the years but majority of the time (including last 3 years) spent at home (not working) as a full-time mum.

If I want to apply for confirmation of my Permanent Residence or to be naturalized as a British Citizen, both application forms ask if I am an EEA national, and if the answer is yes I need to prove that I have exercised Treaty Rights either:

- as a worker (but I have only worked some of the years, not all of them)
- or as a self-sufficient person
- or as a family member of an EEA national

Here's the problem:

I do not seem to be able to apply on the basis of being a 'worker', as have been looking after our children since 2012 and not working.
I do not seem to be able to apply on the basis of a self-sufficient person, as this apparently requires a comprehensive sickness insurance?! I have never head it, as we have always believed that this was not needed? Our whole family has been using the NHS and never been asked for any comprehensive sickness insurance, so what is this about and does it actually apply to me?
I do not seem to be able to apply as a family member of an EEA national, as apparently dual UK/EEA nationals are excluded?! (see this: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... s_v2_0.pdf)

Please can anyone advise what the best route is?

It seems like a big loop hole if EEA nationals who temporarily do not work because they look under children are considered as not exercising their treaty rights even though they live in the UK with their EEA (or even UK, as in my case) spouse?! Are these regulations effectively saying that I cannot obtain permanent residence (or British Citizenship) if I have not had Comprehensive Sickness Insurance covering the last 5 years, even though I am married to a UK citizen?

It may be sufficient for you to be a family member, for at least 5 years, of an EEA national, who was exercising threaty rights.
