No. The relevant date is the date you became member of the family of a EU national, in your case, the relevant date is the date you got married.2) Do I have to wait and count the 5 years the day I was issued EU residence card?
That's because you are taking the information out of context.I am asking these questions as I have read on this forum that some people have been refused Settle status even after competing 5 years of marriage.
Hi kamoe I married in outside UK, and moved UK with my wife April 2018, but I got my 5 years resident card in December 2018, later we applied and got it pre settle aswell,kamoe wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 9:26 amYes.nomadtraveller29 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 10:24 pm1) I have complete five years of marriage this month can I apply for settled status ?No. The relevant date is the date you became member of the family of a EU national, in your case, the relevant date is the date you got married.2) Do I have to wait and count the 5 years the day I was issued EU residence card?
Date of issuance of EEA card is the relevant date for unmarried partners and other extended family members, which is not your case.That's because you are taking the information out of context.I am asking these questions as I have read on this forum that some people have been refused Settle status even after competing 5 years of marriage.
The general rule is that the clock starts when both of the below two conditions are true:
1. You are a resident in the UK
2. You are the family member of a EU national who is also a resident in the UK
So for example:
If someone came to the UK as a student in 2010, and married a EU national in 2015 in the UK, clock starts in 2015.
If some has been married to a EU national living abroad since 2015, and they moved to the UK in 2020, clock starts in 2020.
If some has been married to a EU national living abroad since 2015, and they are still living abroad, clock has not started.
See? Date of marriage is not always the moment the clock starts. The clock starts when the two conditions 1. and 2. are true.
Some people never get a EEA family Permit, and are able to enter the UK on the strength of their passport or showing marriage certificate, so this cannot be declared as a rule.
If you never had a EEA Family Permit, then April 2023. Otherwise date of issue of EEA Family Permit + 5 years.
I didn't have family permit because, when I was living in eu my wife country, I already had a eu family member card, so we traveled to UK with that card and our marriage book, I could travel with that card everywhere with my wife, we came to UK April 2018, this is how I enter, the couple of months later apply in the UK resident card and in December I got my first 5 years residence cardDesi Boy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 1:14 pmI been married abroad and received my eea family permit 3 June 2015 from Poland. 3rd June 2020 I been qualified for settle status even I received my eea family residence card June 2018. So time start when you receive eea family permit or enter to UK with artical 10 residence card or anyone enter without visa
For the third time, April 2023.
I appreciate all the answers, I got one more question, I been reading somewhere in gov.uk
The EU Settlement Scheme is a special case, apart from most UK immigration routes.
I got my pre settle status in 2019 so when I'm gonna apply 2024? But I got my first resident card in 2018 I'm very confused sorrykamoe wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 1:50 pmThe EU Settlement Scheme is a special case, apart from most UK immigration routes.
As such, that rule of anticipated application does not apply.
You apply when you are eligible, not before.
Your Pre-Settled Status is irrelevant.
kamoe wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 2:03 pmYour Pre-Settled Status is irrelevant.
You are eligible for Settled Status exactly 5 years after the start of your clock.
In your case, your clock starts on the date you moved to the UK as a spouse of a EU national (April 2018).
Therefore, and you have already been given this answer four times, you will be eligible for Settled Status in April 2023.
