I have EEA family member permit visa expiring in september 2017.
When can I apply for the indefinite leave to remain? I will need to travel this august, is gonna be possible?
thank you very much

Permit or do you mean RC?

If on EU route there's no ILR - its all about PR.

When did you come to UK.
Do you have a sponsor?
Timeline of your or any sponsor's activities?

Prolonged absences?

A8 national and/or student?

Hi there.
I'm an African married with an EEA and living in London from dec 2011.

Can I apply for the EEA (PR) or I need to wait? do you know how long after I send my passport it will send back to me, because I will need to travel in august.
thank you

If i understand , I have to apply for the EEA PR ? can I apply now, if my visa ( eea spouse visa)will expire in september 2017?

When did you get married?
What has your German spouse been doing in the UK since your marriage?

Yes, you need confirmation of PR not ILR.

You don't have a 'visa' and its date doesn't really count.

Assuming sponsor has been a qualified person since you arrived in UK then count 5 years from date of arrival or date of marriage (whichever is latest).

No need for multiple posts.

Now I understand.

do you know after how long they will send my passport back as I need to travel in august?
after I'll get the PR what do I have to apply for?

Thank you very much

If you acquire PR as early as March 2017 you can apply for confirmation then.
Typically 6 months or so to process.
Then free to travel.

If you were in the UK on 12 March 2012, then your 5-year qualifying period for PR started then.

that means that I have to send the application only after march?

Yes, you can't apply for confirmation of PR before you have actually acquired PR (status).
