Hi
I lived in uk since 1995. I applied for residante permit in 2000 this expired 2005. I never applied for permante residance. I have never been out the uk for more than 90 days .
In 2004 I to ok maternaty leave and was still and contuio working after maternaty leave. I was receiving benefits so I decided that from 2005 to 2012 I worked full time. Then had a break of 6 moths not working in 2012, I took dog training course and was looking for work during this time. I started to work after tha 6 months break and am still presently working.
my question is

Do I have to proved prove since 1995 of all jobs or only from the 2005 to present.
Ialthough I might have been qualified PR earlier I feel it will be easier in 2005 onwards as I had 1 job during that period.

It's your choice to pick any 5-year period when you may be a qualified person. However, after that 5-year period, you should also show that you haven't been absent for more than a continuous two years.

Hi

This will apply in my situation as my wife's (EEA national) qualifying period would have been from 2007-2013. Since then she's been a stay-at-home mother.

How would we prove she's not been absent for more than two years?
