Calm down

you worked for 5 years continuously from 2007 - 2012

Working or Self employed ?

Do you have all 5 years P60 / Payslips? if working ?

if self employed Invoice/receipt/tax records ?

If yes then you are already a permanent resident in the UK and you are eligible for British citizenship. And you don't have to worry about EEA2 ( family member resident card ). Even if he never had that EEA2 he would still be legal resident in the UK as a family member of an EU national

When you both got married and how long he living in the UK ?

If he is married for 5 years ( if married in the UK ) then he is eligible for Permanent residency
If you married outside the UK then he is eligible for PR 5 years after arriving in the UK

Do not be worried from the mere display of expiry date on EEA2 RC. If you were registered under WRS scheme and had completed the first year under WRS scheme as worker then you had already acquired PR.

thank you all married 12 years ( married in san diego ,california ) . living in the UK past 8 me working as a healthcare assistant 5 years ,have all my payslips.

[agata108]

my worry is about my husband not me .what he has to do ?

[sheraz7]

The status of your non-EU partner is connected with your (EU national) activities and if you had completed your initial 1st year under WRS scheme and worked continuously for 5 years (as you already told that) then you and your non-EU partner had already secured PR, only its confirmation need to apply. Worth reading the EEA FAQs- Common questions.

thank you ! lots of information and big help for us

What did you get for your £100? You are a little vague on specifics.

It would be a good idea to read through directive 2004/38/ec to understand your rights.

for 100£ we get about 40 min of immigration advice. few of them have said would not take our case because of myself ending employment in 2012. they say that is the tricky part
althought i did work full 5 years with no gaps ( 2007 - 2012) .
