Rights of British Citizen applying for EEA1

Post by megmog » Wed May 23, 2007 5:07 pm

Hi all....

Just wondering, if I am going to use the Surinder Singh ruling to pursue a family permit.. will I have to apply for EEA1 on my return to the UK? I understand that this may make my husband's EEA2 application easier. I just wondered if this has any bearing on my future rights as a British Citizen? Am I required by law to apply for the EEA1 once I am working? Would I have to apply for citizenship again.. maybe that is a stupid questions .. :?

As far as I know, British citizens utilising the Surinder Singh provisions do not have to apply for any EEA1 form.

Any particular reason you want to use this method rather than the UK-rules process and are you aware of how it affects the pathway to permanent residence and naturalisation?

What nationality is your husband?

My husband is South African. We are going down the family permit route because it is free and because we are in ireland, we can. I understand that he wont be able to apply for ILR for 5 years, instead of 2 years with a spousal visa, but a lot of the paperwork required for spousal visa - we dont have.

If you have any more info on naturalisation and perm residency please let me know, as this is all I have found so far...

Actually if he uses the Ppron Naturalisation Method he should be able to apply for British citizenship in three years' time, without needing ILR.
