Hi everone,

This question is regarding my friend who is married to EU citzen for the last 5 years and 6 months.

He is going to apply for his permnanat residence card in comming months.

1. Does 5 year period start from the date of marriage or date of EEA family member visa stamped?
2. Do I need to submit her last 3 years of tax record or 5 years?
3. She also worked sometime ( 3 months = 1 month) in Holland in the last 5 years. Do i have to decalre that?

Does EU Holland tax department is directly connected with HMRC?

1) Where/where were you married?
When did both parties enter UK?
When did sponsor become a qualified person?

2) 5 years evidence - for everything; rock-solid evidence.

3) Yes, declare absences.

Why would they be connected? And why worry?

1. Got married in 2012 in uk. Were living together 3 months before getting married. Sponsor eu citizen was working in UK since 2011.

2. Sponsor didn't have job in 2013 for 9 months. So no tax record for 2013.

3. Only worry is that we had fight in the past and she left me for almost 6 months and went to Holland. She worked there for 6 months then she returned back and started living together.

1) Count from wedding day then.

2) How was sponsor a qp then then?
Or PR clock will have stopped and reset to zero.

3) That's a concern, any absence over 6 months could have reset PR clock to zero.

So 2 suspect periods that may mean you have not acquired PR.
