1. Your partner will get permanent residency after 5 years in the UK as an EEA national exercising treaty rights. So, he entered the UK in 2006, meaning he will be granted permanent residency automatically in 2011. In 2012, he can apply for naturalisation as a British Citizen. He will have to take the Life in the UK test (and any other condition added onto that), to be granted citizenship.luckyredrose wrote:I have read:
The most significant change is that from 30 April 2006 any EEA
Or Swiss national (or their family member) who has been exercising free movement rights in the UK for a continuous period of five years will, at the end of that period, become automatically entitled to permanent residence in the UK. He or she will not need to apply to IND for a grant of ILR or similar. So any child born on or after 30.04.2006 to an EEA or Swiss National who meets this criteria will have an automatic claim to British citizenship. However, please note that an applicants five years continuous residence will be broken if the individual is out of the United Kingdom for any period of 6 months or more in any single year. The entitlement to permanent residence will be lost following continuous absence from the UK for a period of two or more years (as is normally the case with ILR).
My Questions:
1. My partner was issued with WRS registration on 03-03-06. Does it mean that he will became automatically Permanent resident 03-03-11? Can I get automatically Permanent resident status with him submitting form EEA3 or EEA? I am non-EEA citizen holder of 5 year Residency card.
2. Does it mean that on 03-03-12 he can apply for British citizenship without applying for ILR? Would I be able to apply with him at the same time? My Residency card was issued on 07-2007.
Thanks

What country is your partner from? Does he want to naturalise? Depending on this country's nationality laws, he might be asked to renounce his citizenship to become a British citizen.
Well, if you actually just answered the questions, I would have been able to answer yours in more detail. It is not as easy as what you wrote, which is why I asked further questions.luckyredrose wrote:I am more interested about my gole posts. How does his circumstances afect my own.sakura wrote:1.

When I will became Permanent Resident and when I will became eligible for British citizenship?
Thanks
Ok.....I'm reading about dual nationality rules for Polish nationals, it's not written in a straightforward manner! Anyway, if we just take it that he will become a dual national in 2012.luckyredrose wrote:He is from Poland.
I think - no, you need to have been in the UK for five years, with your EEA permit. So you can't apply with him.Can I get automatically Permanent resident status with him submitting form EEA3 or EEA? I am non-EEA citizen holder of 5 year Residency card.
EEA nationals don't need ILR, they obtain the EEA equivalent of PR. So, 12 months after obtaining PR, he can apply for naturalisation.2. Does it mean that on 03-03-12 he can apply for British citizenship without applying for ILR? Would I be able to apply with him at the same time? My Residency card was issued on 07-2007.
Can you further elaborate, doc?Docterror wrote:Sorry sakura, but the 5 years needed includes the 1 year on the WRS as well. So, it is PR in 2011 and if they decide go forth, BC in 2012.
The 5 year clock starts ticking on first arrival in the U.K.IMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Your partner must have worked 12 months under WRS and then she would be able to apply for a UK/EEA Residence Card. Make it 5 years since that date = point when she would be able to apply for ILR.
Unless original poster has become a British citizen in the meantime.Now make it another 12 months since that = point when she would be able to apply for Nturalization as a British Citizen.
Sorry if I was ambiguous before, but a JAJ mentioned it is 5 years since the first arrival.i.e- It is 1 year on WRS and 4 years more of treaty rights to PR.sakura wrote:Can you further elaborate, doc?Docterror wrote:Sorry sakura, but the 5 years needed includes the 1 year on the WRS as well.

Do you mean 1 yr WRS + 5 yrs exercising rights = 6 years to PR? Or 1 yr WRS + 4 years thereafter?
I'm a little bit confused...
I see. However, I didn't mention anything about the WRS? I just wrote 5 years to PR (in 2011) and 1 year thereafter to BC (2012)? Unless you're referring to the OP? I assume she used the EEA permit to enter the UK, and so came here one year after her partner, although she doesn't mention when they first entered.Docterror wrote:Sorry if I was ambiguous before, but a JAJ mentioned it is 5 years since the first arrival.i.e- It is 1 year on WRS and 4 years more of treaty rights to PR.sakura wrote:Can you further elaborate, doc?Docterror wrote:Sorry sakura, but the 5 years needed includes the 1 year on the WRS as well.

I would like to ask question about date from when the clock starts clicking with regards of Permanent Residency.IMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Your partner must have worked 12 months under WRS and then she would be able to apply for a UK/EEA Residence Card.
