What's after 5 yrs Residence Card
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:55 am
Hello All.
My friend has a 5-year Residence Card (RC) as a non-EEA spouse of an EEA national. But, they have had loads of gaps and absences from the UK during those 5 yrs. Therefore, she would not qualify for Permanent Residence (PR) as they both have not exercised treaty rights for the entire period.
What is the solution now? Her RC expires on 31.01.2010. Can she apply for another Residence Card or what?
Appreciate your responses.
