Application for residence card: EEA FM or EFM?

Post by mia777 » Sat Dec 02, 2017 12:12 pm

Next year, I will have had a residence permit I obtained using an EEA2 application as an extended family member for five years. I will likely submit an application for permanent residence.

We married this year so would I apply as a family member or an extended family member?

The only information I can find is in the document Extended family members of EEA nationals in the section "Permanent rights of residence: summary of evidence and requirements:":
There may be circumstances where the 5 year qualifying period is made up of residency as an extended family member and a family member. For example, they entered the UK as a durable partner of an EEA national and then later married that EEA national. This is acceptable provided that the total 5 year period in question is continuous and that any time spent as a durable partner is only counted where the person held an EEA family permit, residence card or registration certificate issued to them in that capacity. The applicant must provide the required documents, or they will not be able to count that period towards the 5 year qualifying criteria.
Thanks.
