Not necessarily! I have an African passport, while my husband has a Dutch one. Whenever we travel we use either queue, depending on which one is moving faster. No problems either way.Casa wrote:I believe you'll find that you have to go through the non-EU channel as you don't have an EU passport, but your husband will be able to go through the non-EU channel with you.
No. You only qualify after five years under the EU route (i.e. as a family member of an EU national), meaning the years spent in the UK in any other category (including time spent as a student and on the SEGS visa) does not count. You will obtain PR in 2012.sanna wrote:Hi All,
Thanks for your replies.
In relation to my first question:
I was just reading this document and came across this:
2. Eligibility for permanent residence
The following are eligible under Regulation 15 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations
2006:
...
• A person who:
o Has resided in the UK (in accordance with the Regulations) for a
continuous period of 5 years; and
o Was, at the end of the period, a family member who has retained the
right of residence.
...
Doesn't this mean that I might be able to apply for Permanent Residency in 2009 then?
Thanks,
Sanna
