Hi there
my name is Reda. I am a citizen of Lithuania and I came to UK back in September 2005. Then between 2005 and October 2011 before I gave birth my first child I worked for accumulative 36 months. In 2011 I got married with Nazmul who was a student that time. He got his 5 years residency permit in December 2011 as an EEA family member. Initially in 2011 I was in maternity allowance as my employer could not do maternity leave because I worked for them that time only 4 months. From 2011 we been getting housing benefits, child benefits child, work tax credit as Nazmul was working but I was full time house wife. Then in December 2013 I gave birth my second child still I wasn't able to go to work due to looking after 2 young childes full time but Nazmul didn't stop working.
In 2015 Nazmul lost his job so I started employment June which lasted only 3 months before I lost my job due to employment agency closing their operation for the factory site. But luckily Nazmul again found job in September and still in full time employment. And we still getting those above benefits.
NOW MY QUERY IS---
1) I would love to Apply for a UK Permanent residence card but when I checked http://www.gov.uk website they mentioned I have to be a qualified person before I can apply for residence card which means I have to have 5 years worth of employment in my record. But I am not sure it is continuous or accumulator. And also I do not have 5 years worth of employment as I been full time housewife but Nazmul. Does full time housewife helps in regards to that qualification for qualified person category? Can I apply for Permanent residence card?
2) Nazmul's 5 years permit is ending in December 2016 so he would like to apply for permanent residency as well. As far as my understanding if I gets permanent residency card Nazmul can apply his one easy way. But if not then he needs to provide that I was qualified person. Can Nazmul apply for his Permanent residence card once his 5 years residency has expired as he been in continuous employment since 2009?
IF I COULD GET THE RIGHT ADVICE IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL AS THE LAST THING I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN TO GROW UP KIDS WITHOUT FATHER!!!
PLEASE HELP ME.
