Hi
I am married to a citizen of a European Economic Area (EEA)
I am from South America.
I have lived in UK on a spose visa for 5 years and in June 2009 i applied for ILR and that came through in July 2009.
Its for 10 years and no restrictions.
The situation is that I am not sure if me and my husband are to continue together. He very much want to head home to his country.
My Question is:
1. As i have ILR now, I belive my right to remain is no longer depending on me beeing married. I understand that I have the right to remain no matter my maritial status. Is that correct?
2. When can i apply for Naturalization based on that i got my ILR in August 2009. I do not understand "During the residential qualifying period". is this period from i got ILR untill I apply for naturalization?
3. If I understand the process correct, I can then apply in August 2010 and if we say that it takes 6 months where they review my case (+/-) I can then expect to get my naturalization Jan/Feb 2011. Does this sound correct?
4. Is Naturalization the same as then getting the UK passport or is that a seperate application I have to make when i get my Naturalization through.
At the end, I do belive we are going to stay together but I am worried what happens if.. Thats the reason I would be very happy if someone take some time to answer my questions.
Thanks alot
