returning EEA UK permanent resident, Non- EEA spouse visa
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 8:51 pm
Hope you can advise me...
I am EEA national. After living in the UK for 5 years while exercising EU Treaty Rights but I did not apply for Permanent Residence and felt a country for nearly 2 years for study pusposes. After those nearly 2 years I returned to the UK.
During my 3rd year living in the UK I got married to a non- EEA national, he applied for residence card (for 5 years). We lived together for 3 years and then, as I have mentioned already, I left the UK for nearly 2 years.
My first questions is, wether I could be considered as a permanent resident even if I did not apply for it?
Secondly,whether my spouse had a right to live in the UK while I was away for 2 years, if I am considered to be a permanent resident?
And thirdly, if my spouse will still be entitled for a permanent residence due to the fact that I was away?
Thank you in advance
