under this scenario your 5 years will be started from 2010 thats the time when your eea partner registered under WRS scheme. Because under old rules all A8 nationals need to complete their initial 12 months under this scheme in order to be freed and access the labour market and benefits.

12 months spent under wrs scheme will be the part of total 5 years.

WRS scheme existed between 2004-2011 for A8 nationals. 5 years period will start from the time when eea national start to excercise treaty rights and the time under WRS will be included in those 5 years for getting PR. However, eea national should not be away from country more than 6 months in a year.

Many thanks for your input and its agreeable especially that personal circumstances should be considered as because many things are unclear in law e.g unreasonable burden. However, most frequently getting PR is far more important for non-eea national than eea national who even many times aven being ...

@John
Refer to ukba website, there is a large chapter regarding public benefits and their affects. According to it certain benefits are allowed and does not cause any major negative results such as income contribution related ones but certainly not the ones like housing and job seeker

Guys do not be panic as calling for interview looks like a substitute strategy to ukba's surprise home visit strategy. But for interview you have been given time and you can better plan and most importantly the physcial appearance of the couple will be most important apart of some interrogation. Sur...

Make your employer aware regarding the UKBA employer helpline service that they can use to verify your right of work.

most important thing is surname and date of birth on the basis which normally data is being held.

most important thing is surname and date of birth.

Best is to request your SAR file from UKBA to know what information they held for you and also keep in mind that your EEA family member must have been excercised its treaty rights for all of the duration you hold eea family permit.

I believe the query has already been best answered and I cannot see that only for that reason 1 time in 10 years caseworker will refused ILR as because during 2009-2010 when PBS launched then many applicants cannot understand it and most of them got same refusal notice with same words despite its lo...

Many thanks for your input. Your answer regarding asking some reference is already answered if you read again the op 1st post in which he mentioned the ukba words in his refusal letter along with the options he were given.

@cs95tg every in time application get section 3c protection till the date of decision even till appeal result. And 10 days are the days for which caseworker use discretion under 10 years for 1 time. During 2009-2010 many tier4 people refused but get same standard letter either to appeal or fresh app...

not a burden

Obie is saying correct.
And If a person even work less than 10 hours and still can survive then whats the problem is?

if you made 1st application before visa end then till refusal decision + 10 days you were protected under section 3c means legal residence and if you made 2nd application within 10 days of refusal decision then its not gap as 10 days can be exempted.If critics still say its a gap then they need to u...

EEA family permit route will certainly not be relevant for you perhaps the most fit category will be British partner dependant and for which you will have to undergo the new rules introduced in july 2012.

No because:
1. you went out of uk less than 6 months.
2. you left uk with valid leave.

try the number later as many times it really connects with the advisor operator. Normally for email answer they always send faq.

i believe that op has only 5 days break due to submitting new application on the 5th day that later approved even op got psw visa later for which 20 points normally be awarded for legal study period and op got psw that clearly means he has no problem regarding its lawful residence. Op made its 1st i...

yes. we already know. Just make sure you have got the correct version at the ukba website.
