I am 26 male, polish.
I first entered UK in 22.09.2004 (legaly after Poland joined EU, so no need work visa, just WRS), after month or two registered under WRS (Worker Registration Scheme). [so WRS can prove I was here, anyway thay should know, because i already sended all when apply for EEA1 ??, they should keep track ?]
next after a year and something i apply for: Residence Permit For a National of a Member State of the EEC (EEA1). Date of issue: 9.05.2006, valid untill: indefinitely.
When I'll be eligible for Permanent Residence (EEA3) ?. Is it EEA3 a patch to British naturalisation? (passport).
Is it in my case 5 years period counts from my 1 enter to UK ? 22.09.04? or from date of EEA1 issue? 9.05.06 ???
When should I apply for EEA3 ?
Am I eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), after 5 years ? or its better to go for EEA3 in my case (already got EEA1)
My next question is about marriage.
I have Thai gf, want to marry in the future, I want her to come to UK.
She will be eligible to get UK VISA, if I am polish on EEA1 residence permit in UK. ?
Is it EEA1 gives me Settlement rights / status ?
"A UK marriage visa, or spouse visa, enables your husband, wife or civil partner to apply for leave to enter, or leave to remain in the UK on the basis that they are married to a person who is present and settled in Britain. Settled status means that you are living here lawfully with no time limit on your stay. "
