Until you complete five years as a family member of an EEA national.

The only advantage that you have in your wife holding permanent residence is that she does not have to do anything special in terms of treaty rights.

You need to live in the UK with her for five years before acquiring PR.

No, not really. The only think I can think of is that with PR, your wife does not need to demonstrate that she is a worker, etc.

On the contrary, it might complicate things.

Will she maintain her current EEA nationality (not all EU countries allow dual citizenship). If not, it might cause issues for you. Also, by becoming British, she will not be able to use the EEA route in future so if for some reason you leave the UK for more than 6 months, you might not be able to use the EEA route any more.

thanks Jambo for your concern , As you said about dual nationality ,but my wife can hold two nationalities because she is from Poland .
