EEA national presence in UK for PR

[eea2raheem]

Hi There,

I am a Non-EEA national with EEA residence card for 5 years and me and my EEA national wife planning to apply for EEA-PR as we have completed 5 years.

Based on the timelines for EEA-PR and Non-EEA-PR; EEA national will receive PR within 6 weeks whereas Non-EEA national will receive PR within 6 months.

My question is on EEA national presence in UK after receiving her PR.

Does she (EEA national) need to stay in UK after receiving her PR while my (Non-EEA) PR in process? if she leave UK (going for 6-12 months) after receiving her PR will affect the PR process of Non-EEA national?

Please help me to plan my application.

Thanks,

[eea2raheem]

We offer our time and advice for free, we are all volunteers on the forum. We also have jobs and families, so might be busy with other things.

You will need to be patient and wait until someone can or is willing to respond to your question.

No, but you've probably cheesed-off any possible respondents!

Hello,
You will receive your PR with your spouse Probably 10 day later if you both apply together on the same form and it will take 6 month.

Only EEA national and eea family will receive PR within 6 weeks but in your case you are non-eea family member .
Does she (EEA national) need to stay in UK after receiving her PR while my (Non-EEA) PR in process? NO

if she leave UK (going for 6-12 months) after receiving her PR will affect the PR process of Non-EEA national? NO but if more than 2 year she will lose PR and will have to wait for naturalization [check it as i think its 3 month graze period outsite uk].


Cheers

p.s: i am not an expert on immigration matters so pls do take a second opinion

[eea2raheem]

Thanks for your response, hope some of the experts will also confirm on this.

Does it means if EEA national and Non-EEA national apply for the PR in the same form, it will take almost 6 months to receive PR for EEA national?

Just to clear on my questions

How long it will take to receive the PR if EEA and Non-EEA national apply in the same form?
EEA national time: ??
Non-EEA national time: ??

hello,

EEA national time: ?? 6 month
Non-EEA national time: ??6 month

it all depends on the caseworker and documents you have submitted but usually its within 6 months.just remember if your eea national was self sufficient in the 5 year period while exercising treaty right she should have had csi if not then they will refuse.

cheers

Thanks for your response.

She is working in all 5 years, so that is not a problem.
But as per the timelines for EEA PR they are receiving within 6 weeks.

hello,

yes you are partly right but in your case its a joint application. if eea national is the the sole applicant then yes they receive PR in 6 weeks but now with referendum looming ii guess there will be a surge in application and hence delay.

good luck for your applications .

cheers
