Has your Belgian partner been exercising Treaty Rights uninterruptedly here in the UK since 08/10?elocin wrote:Dear Forum,
Your assistance would be wonderful with regards to my question.
I am a South African citizen, my unmarried durable partner is Belgian and is living here exercising his treaty rights. We have been in a durable relationship for 8 years now.
I have received two 6 month EEA FP's (03/08/10 - 03/02/11 and 22/02/11 - 22/08/11) after which I then received my residence documentation, which is valid from 21/09/2011 to the 21/09/2016. 5 years.
I have asked two solicitors and an immigration company if the first two EEA Family Permits count towards the 5 year period required before you can make an application for ILR/ PR, all of them said yes, so I just would like to make certain on this forum if that is the case, so I should then be able to submit my application in July/ August of next year?
Is that correct?
For the EEA4 application, is it a requirement to do the IELTS and living in the UK test? As I thought that was only for when you want to become a British citizen. Should I complete these tests now or before I do the application for nationalisation?
What documents are required for the EEA4 application, surely not 5 years of bank statements and payslips etc.? What is the most efficient way of consolidating all required information?
Thanks
