Hello szymonf!syzmonf wrote:Hi,
I came to UK in 2007 and acquired permanent residence (PR) in 2012 and British citizenship in 2013. I have not left UK for longer than 2 a years and therefore my PR should still be in force. Can I bring my to be wife (non-EU citizen) to UK on family permit. Looking at the information online I have an idea that the transitional arrangement apply to me. Please look at point 16.

A friend of mine had no problems to get an EEA Family Permit and now she is waiting for a residence card.
She is non EU and her husband has dual nationality.

I believe the British Government is wrong, and you will have to fight them in court about this, but that is what they said.
EU law says PR status is only lost by an absence of 2 years from the Host memberstate.
The UK government has added another criteria, which is that PR is lost by acquisition of the Host memberstate nationality.

Well, there wasn't any problem at all, it took two weeks to get a family permit after applying from her original country.syzmonf wrote:Xenia wrote:Of course she did, she is in the UK now and waiting for a residence card, which is your next thing to apply after family permit but you apply from the UK don't have to leave country, it will be valid for 5 years
Can you tell me how she got it? Was there a problem? Did she have to appeal?

The only thing is different to your situation, they were already married and applied as married couple.
