no you cannot save time like that. If your wife becomes british u will lose the rights under EU law as Poland doesn't allow dual citizenship. So you will need to leave the UK and reapply from outside! Better ask your wife to wait until you obtain Permanent Residence having been married for 5 years. When did you get married? I understand recently as otherwise you wouldn't want to switch to the 2 year route.mohamed82 wrote:hello

As far as I´m aware, Poland >>does allow<< dual citizenship.mcovet wrote:...If your wife becomes british u will lose the rights under EU law as Poland doesn't allow dual citizenship...
Technically it is possible but I wonder why you are asking? Is it because you think you need to? (you don't) or because you want to reduce your path to citizenship from 5 years to 3 years? (possible but depends how log you have been under the EEA route and meeting the spouse visa requirements).mohamed82 wrote:hello

yes when i have arrived here she has the right treat ,... she live in uk nearly 7 years now we marriad 2008 i came here i augost 2010 i have applied for RC but i have been refused becouse i forget to send some documents so i make have made an appeal and i won it and i got the RC on may 2011 ,,, since i have arrived in augost 2011 i i have worked all the time till now i have i have two b60 nd still keep my payslips all .. and i want do that becouse my wife is biritish now and if i do spouse i can get indfenite after two year but now i have to wait 4 years to get indifinte .. so two years better than 4 years ,,, they ee2 application find deficult to got indifnate but spouse 2 years more easy to get the indifnate ,,,Jambo wrote:You still did not answer my question - Why do you want to switch?
Why did you only get the RC in 2011 if you came to the UK in 2010? Was your wife exercising treaty rights in 2010?
Your time under EEA regulations started when you moved to the UK if you wife was exercising treaty rights then not when the RC was issued. So you should be able to achieve PR in 2015. If you go and change to spouse visa, you will achieve ILR in 2014 so you will only save one year (and spend £1,500). Not sure it is worth it.
really ,, so the year which i was waiting the RC and the apeal and all this time are counting,, i have two b60 and and all payslips when i arrived to the uk becouse i have working all the time since i have arrived to the uk in augost 2010 ,,,i keep all payslips since this date,,,Jambo wrote:As I said, your time for PR started when you moved to the UK and not when the RC was issued so it should be 3 more years. Not 4.
Don't know why your RC was initially refused but I would think that the requirements under the EEA regulations are much simpler to meet than the ones under the UK immigration rules for spouse visa. Why do you think it is not the case?
