HO sent him/her a letter with RC saying that holder has to inform UKBA if there is any changes in status/ cease to be a family member.
It is in the regulations Under “Family member who has retained the right of residence” paragraph 8(5)dukkumeah wrote:
* Prof that he/she has lived in the Uk for at least 1 year wih Spouse
Wrong again. There is no such requirement.
Thanks Dukkumeah, not quite.dukkumeah wrote:Hope you get the answers@Nimitta
Well, in case if the EEA leaves the country, non-EEA does not have a right to stay in the UK anymore. The same if the EEA ceases to exercise treaty rights, and I understand why the UKBA would be interested in this information. However, it is NOT true in case of divorce/death of the EEA if the non-EEA retains her/his rights of residence. I think in this case the request is groundless.dukkumeah wrote: HO sent him/her a letter with RC saying that holder has to inform UKBA if there is any changes in status/ cease to be a family member.
Do you mean this:dukkumeah wrote:* Prof that he/she has lived in the Uk for at least 1 year wih Spouse

By "groundless" I meant that "must inform" or "has to inform" is groundless. Getting confirmation is useful, I agree, but is not obligatory.dukkumeah wrote:It is better for non EEA national to inform HO to get the confirmation that the RC holder retained his /her rights.
It is not groundless and HO expected be informed.
It is also recommended by many GURUs including John.
Could you please refer to a source where you found this requirement? It does not sound right.dukkumeah wrote:Living in the UK for at least a year is a requirement. Spouse can live in different addresses with good reason like Job/ Business.

Yes, use form EEA2 to apply for a new 5-year Residence Card.
But even though there will be years left on the second Residence Card, you are not prevented from applying for Permanent Residence 5 years after starting to live in the UK.
