Dear all,
I would like to ask you a couple of questions regarding my wife's PR application as well as my application.
My Wife is an Italian who came to the UK in 1999 as a Student with her parents, Since 1999 she was only absent from the UK for 2.5 years, this absence happened when she went to Costa Rica to meet her parents as they are now retired and live in Costa Rica, my wife and I met in Costa Rica and came to the UK in Aug 2012.
I arrived in the UK with her in 2012 with a Family Permit and since then we have both been working, during the first few months she was a student and we both had Comprehensive Insurance.
My questions are the following:
1-) Can My wife apply for a Permanent Residence now since she has been here since 1999 and can show that she was working and studying the whole time until 2010 when she went to Costa Rica?
2-) Does she needs to wait until the Aug this year so she would have been here for a 5 years since Aug 2012?
and in my case.
1-) I came as as a Costa Rican with a Family permit, NON-EEA and I applied for a resident card which is what I have now and it will expire in Aug 2017. Can I apply for a Permanent Resident Card?
2-) I became an Italian about a year ago as I am married to her and I finally got the Italian Passport, so when I apply for a Permanent Resident card. Do I apply as a NON EEA and as an Italian or just as an Italian?
and one more thing
We now have a baby boy who is only 1 year and was born here in the UK
Thank You
Regards
Reuben
