eea2 and 10 year Indefinite Leave to Remain

[mocha]

Hi guys


I have a question and hope you guys can help me out here?

I have just received my RC of EEA2, however, i will be eligible to apply for 10 year indefinite leave to remain this summer as I will have been here for 10 years. I was wondering if i would have RC of eea2 as well as PR at the same time. or if i apply for PR and get it, will i lose my RC of eea2?

it is a bit confusing please help!!!


thanks in advance.

With EEA2 RC you need to depend on the activities of EEA national. However, once you complete 10 year lawful residence then you can apply ILR which confer you again to live on your own rights. But remember the time you spend under EEA2 RC you need to include the evidences of the treaty rights of your EEA partner.

Getting ILR won't cancell the RC. You can have them both. In that case, the RC won't really have any additional value apart from Schengen visa exemption when travelling with the EEA national.
