[orangepillow]

Hi
I am from non-EU
came uk with student visa on October2008 till April2009
I got married April2009 with EU member, and got Residence Card on September2009 to September 2014
If I can ask who can help me, when exactly date I can apply for ILR?
How long before I can put my Applications?
And do I need to Pass life in the UK for ILR? or does it need only for citizenship?
Many thanks indeed for any respond.
Regards
Laura

This should be in the EEA forum, you don't get ILR under EU law you attain permanent residency (PR) after 5 years (if your spouse has exercised treaty rights for those 5 years). PR is akin to ILR, they both imply settlement. Yes your will need to meet KoLL for nationalisation, when you apply that will at least include the LIUK test and a B1 language requirement providing you are not exempt.

April 2014 ; after 5 years marriage but still you need to prove that your EEA national exercising treaty right for five years or already qualified for PR


Exercising treaty right:

employed or self-employed; or
studying; or
economically self- sufficient (meaning that you have sufficient funds to support you without requiring public funds); or
a jobseeker; or
retired; or
someone who has had to cease working in the UK owing to permanent incapacity.


You don't need any test for PR application yet

You asked this question before about test: NO TEST for PR application. Test is only when you applying under UK LAW ( when you apply for British Citizenship later after PR )

You don't need to include his work history anymore as it will make the case complicated : remember you are family member of a Permanent resident holder in the UK

because your PR application will be very straightforward just send what is required

- Your and his Passport

- His PR certificate

- Your 5 years proof of address

- marriage certificate

- and a cover letter explaining everything

if EU national already have PR then you don't need to prove his 5 years exercising treaty right anymore just send PR certificate with other required documents so i am sure your application will be straight forward and there is nothing to worry

It doesn't matter what you and your husband doing now as he already have PR

[orangepillow]

Hi, sorry to interrupt in your thread and let me know if it bothers you and I'll open a new one; but I post it here as my situation is almost identical but I have the following question:

I'm a non EEA married to a EEA; we both work full time. we have been married for 5 years and my EEA2 cars will expire in march 2014. I want to apply for the PR; from what i read here I have this questions:

1) My wife is european but has never applied for PR as she doesn't need it; would it make my application more straight forward if she had this?

2) As we have been married for 5 years I assume I can apply anytime from now?

Many thanks for your help.

1 ) IF she had it then your PR application will be straightforward and less paperwork

2 ) Yes you can apply anytime now.

Thank you; now my question is: Is it worth for me ask her to get a PR residency; so when I apply to mine is easier or shall I just do it now?

Also when specifically can I apply for the PR? my definite leave to remain finishes in March 2014.

Many thanks

Gary
