I read the forum but got little bit confused about five year qualifying residence period . I would really appreciate if any body can answer and sorry if it has been answered already . I got married 18 October 2007 but my wife got her WRS certificate in December 2007 but we are living together since October 2006. Well just wanted ask helpful members of forum that when my qualifying 5 years period start ? From day of marriage or day we got WRS certificate or day we started to live together ? Please If you have time may be some guru can shed light on it .

Any one have any idea please share .

Your qualifying period starts from December 2007 if your wife has continued work for 5 years and completed WRS for first 12 months.

You start date is that when you starting living in the UK in accordance with the regulations. To be living in accordance with the regulations, for you, means living in the UK while your family member exercised treaty rights.

Generally, EU nationals do this by being a worker, student or self-sufficient person. Their first three months of residence do not have any conditions. A8 countries were required to register on WRS.

Thank you very much guys. I appreciate you help. I thought as well the period start from partner exercising treaty rights but i read some posts where they were saying about living together . But again thanks .
