EEA citizens and their non-EEA spouses used to get ILE automatically on arrival under rules before October 2000, but ILE/ILR is no longer applicable to EEA citizens and spouses since Directive 2004/38/EC and EEC Regulations 2006 came into force.FighterBoy wrote:Q: Why is it the OP's wife got a 6 month leave to enter with no time limit on her stay, whereas others get ILE?
Can you provide a link to the resource mentioned above? I'm unable to locate such a document on gov.uk.FighterBoy wrote:I've read Chapter 3 of British Nationality from gov.uk and it says there is ILE and LE with no time limit on stay.
Casa with respect, I don't think that is the full story, exercising treaty rights can be as simple as making a purchase whilst visiting within the 3 month initial right of residence period. That's my understanding.Casa wrote:In order to be exercising your treaty rights you should be employed, studying or job seeking.
You're contradicting yourself? You first say it's for a 6 month visit, then say she can remain as long as her EEA partner exercises his treaty rights (correct). So to conclude she can stay but currently has 6 months worth of leaving and entering (alone or with husband I'm unsure).cafeconleche wrote:I think there is confusion here. Leave to enter for 6 months just means that your partner can visit the UK for 6 months. I take it that you are just visiting the UK, so this is just the stamp that indicates this. It does NOT mean that your partner can leave and enter again without you for a period of 6 months.
If you intend to remain in the UK, for the first 3 months, your partner has the same rights as you do. After that, if you exercise treaty rights, your partner will continue to derive these rights from you. But, I think this is irrelevant to you as you are just visiting, correct?
