EEA4 Enquiry

Post by tensailee » Fri Jan 05, 2007 4:16 pm

here are some facts:

I'm Chinese national,
Mar 2001-Nov 2007: student visa, studies A-levels and now Master's;
Jan 2006, entered Civil Partnership with current partner;
Mar 2006, EEA Residence Card was issued (valid until Feb 2010)..

My partner is Greek national,
Sep 1997-Jul 2001: Degree course & Master's;
Sep 2001-Sep 2002: self-sufficient (but with no proof);
Sep 2002-Aug 2003: 2nd Master's;
Sep 2003-present: employment.
Feb 2005, EEA Registration Certificate was issued (valid until Feb 2010).
Jan 2006, entered Civil Partnership with me;
Sep 2006, sent Permanent Residence application, still waiting.

I was told that as long as I exercised "Treaty rights" in this country for over five years, and being a family member of an EEA national, I will be eligible to apply for Permanent Residence. The EEA Regulations 2006 is a bit ambiguous, could anyone clarify this please?

If I were to apply through EEA4, who's details should provide in this section? My EEA partner's, or mine (non-EEA)? On EEA4 form, it states on page 8:
"To qualify for permanent residence your EEA or Swiss family member or you needs to have excercised a Treaty right in the UK for 5 years through employment, self-employment, study, economic self-sufficency, retirement or permanent incapacity (provide details below and continue on a separate sheet if neccessary).
If your family member or you were exercising rights in ways other than employment, self-employment or study, please state the category (eg economic self-sufficiency) in the space(s) for employer/school/college addresses for the year(s) concerned."
