It takes 5 years of exercising free movement & treaty rights in UK to acquire PR.moctey wrote:Hi,
I have an EEA nationality and started to work full time in November 2010 in the UK stayed all the time in the country. I expect now a child for October 2015.
That will make 4 years and 11 month on 6 different calendar years (2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015).
Is this not enough to have PR status. Will I have to go through the registration process for my child and pay the 749£ fee ?
With regards to the 5 years, they are applying EU rules, not UK rules. And yes, they are that strict.moctey wrote:I was not in the UK before so it depends on how they check the 5 years. Are they that strict ?
Even if you never actually 'settle' but the child spends the first 10 years in UK he/she can still naturalise under 1(4) of BNA.moctey wrote:If I have to pay 749£ I won't do the registration. If my child leave the country later and come back will he lose the right to register as a british citizen ?
I meant if I settle and the child spend only 2 or 3 years in the UK ?Even if you never actually 'settle' but the child spends the first 10 years
Since my children will inherit automatically my EEA nationality I don't see many advantages of getting the british Citizenship especially if they make me pay 749£ for three weeks after paying so much tax.Yes it's expensive but consider it an investment in your child's future
Yes if you maintain your PR (or naturalise) the child retains the option.moctey wrote:I meant if I settle and the child spend only 2 or 3 years in the UK ?
EEA national or UK national - until the child reaches maturity it's your call.moctey wrote:Since my children will inherit automatically my EEA nationality I don't see many advantages of getting the british Citizenship especially if they make me pay 749£ for three weeks after paying so much tax.
True, but there could be a Brexit in two years time.moctey wrote:Since my children will inherit automatically my EEA nationality

b) If I wished to get either a non-EEA spouse or child born abroad before I naturalised to the UK, I would have to show annual earnings of £18,600 for the first person, £22,400 for two and £2,400 for every subsequent person. Their visas would be valid only for 2.5 years and they would have to reapply before they get ILR in their own right, followed by citizenship. You are again looking at about £650 per person per application + an NHS surcharge of £200 per person per year.
As an EEA citizen, if you wish to get your non-EEA spouse or child to the UK, you only have to apply for a free EEA family permit.

Unfortunately the EU regulations are strict.moctey wrote:My goal was to find a way to make 4 years 11 month and some days acceptable for the 5 years rules.
Some non EEA deserves more than me the citizenship and it's a shame that it's a lot more difficult for them but it is completely off topic. I am not comparing myself to a non EEA resident but to someone EEA who stayed only 3 more weeks...
If Brexit I will probably loose my job go back to the continent forever.
It seems implicit in the port, but can you confirm that your child was born in the UK?kikimora wrote:My child was born in July 2008
If you have worked under WRS since September 2005, you would have got PR in September 2010. As your daughter was born in 2008, she is not a British citizen even if she was born in the UK. SO, she can not apply for a British passport straightaway.kikimora wrote:from September 2005 was registered under Work registration scheme
My husband was with student visa when he arrived, when we got married in 2007 he has received EEA family visa an at the moment child was born he had this EEA family visa.secret.simon wrote:It seems implicit in the port, but can you confirm that your child was born in the UK?kikimora wrote:My child was born in July 2008
What visa was your husband on before he got his EEA Family visa?

You will need to register her using form MN1 under Section 1(3), if your child was born in the UK.
