Urgent query about eligibility for ILR application

Post by Pete249 » Sat Aug 31, 2013 9:20 am

Hi all,
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me if I qualify for ILR under 10 years lawful residence rule.

This is a summary of my case.
I have been lawfully living in the UK for more that 11 years; with no criminal conviction and currently working for a Local Authority Government.

Currently EEA family member (granted 29/05/2012; till 29/05/2017)
entered the UK on 29/06/2002 with a student visa. I successfully applied for extension (in-time) until 02/02/2010 when I was granted PSW for 2 years (expiring on 02/02/2012.
I got married to my wife with whom I am currently living with. She is exercising her Treaty Right as a student in the UK.

I was going to apply for ILR using Set(LR) form but got confused when I read on the UKBA website that time spent as a family member of an EEA National does nor count toward qualifying period as not subject to immigration controls. The same paragraph states that discretion can be applied by case worker.

You can use time under EEA regulations so far as you provide evidence that your partner was exercising treaty rights.
