Hello Everyone

I am EEA national and my husband as well. I am also British citizen. We got married the end of February 2016 and after that I have been Naturalization . He don't have permanent residence card. He is here more den 4 years, and I know that he can apply for permanent residence card by married to British citizen. But how long after our marriage he can apply, or there is no matter how long we are married and he can apply strait.??

Thank you

You have a misunderstanding here.

Noone can apply for PR simply on the basis of marriage to a BC!
As you are a BC you are not considered to be an EEA national any more.

If spouse is EEA (I think you said both of you are) then he can apply for PR once he has acquired it.

As husband needs to apply in his own right your activity in UK (and your marriage) cannot actually help him.

Husband acquires PR by exercising treaty rights as a qualified person, continuously (for 5 years), in UK.

If he has been working for 4 years in UK already then hubby has perhaps 1 more year to go before acquiring PR.

When did husband arrive in UK?
Is hubby exercising treaty rights now / has he been doing so since entering UK?
What does he do?
Is he an A8 national?
Any prolonged absences from UK?

Thank you so much for your help. I just was thinking there is something different about Permanent residence card if someone is married to BC, but all is the some. And yes he have to wait 1 more year.
Thanks a lot again

Once husband has his PR card he can apply for the privilege of citizenship straight away (assuming all other requirements for naturalisation can be/have been met).

That is no need to hold PR status for an extra 12 months. This is one of the only benefits of a British spouse (in immigration terms).
