Hello all,
My spouse is an A8 national who has held a WRS registration card for approximately 2 months.
I'm currently in the UK and working with no problems with my EEA FP, but would like to get started down the UK citizenship road.
My spouse is a full-time student in a BA programme and her WRS registration was a bit of an afterthought - she works part-time and we didn't even know about its existence until I was in the process of applying for my EEA FP.
My understanding is that we currently have two options:
1) Take out private health insurance and apply for an EEA2 residency permit, which is valid for 5 years, on the basis of her being a student, or
2) Skip the private health insurance and apply for a FMRS stamp, which is valid for one year. By the time it expires she will have completed 12 months under WRS which would make applying for an EEA2 possible.
The big question is - would I then be able to apply for PR after 4 years of the EEA2 stamp, or would I 'lose' a year towards PR by doing this?
Thanks for any information!
