Hello All,
I have came across the “Free movements rights - direct family members of EEA national” document (you can find it here
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... PDF#page25).
Am I right saying that EEA national who will also obtain British citizenship can hold their EEA rights now, as per page 24 on the above document?
Im EEA, having permanent residence card, and my non-EEA husband only arrived to UK now on his Family Permit. I would like to apply for BC but I was hold back by previous regulations which stated I will lose my EEA rights once become BC. Does it mean that I can apply for BC now, based on a new law, and he can stay in UK based on my EEA rights?
Another concern is- should he apply for his Residence Card first and only after he gets one I should apply for BC or I can apply for BC even before he holds his REsidency card? His Family permit expires beginning of next year, can he apply for Residency Card now or he needs to wait until FP is about to expire?
Please help me to clarify the above as I am afraid that me applying for BC can mess up his rights in UK. Also, after obtaining Residence Card, after 5 years, he could apply for a Permamnet Residence Card or even British Nationality?
Any support would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
