    Hi
    I am an Irish citizen and working in the UK for the last 5 yrs. I have just got the status of permanent residence. My wife is a non EEA national and has been here for the last 3 yrs with me but not working. I want her to apply for permanent residence so that she may apply for British citizenship. Looking at the IND website it appears that she may be able to apply for the permanent residence status but it will have a time limit of 10 yrs. This means she will not be able to satisfy one of the requirements for naturalisation which is that her stay should be free from time limit or immigration control when she applies for naturalisation. Am I correct in this interpretation? Thank you for your help

    She can apply for permanent residence if she has been living in the UK for 5 years,not before that.


    If you are an EEA national and wish to be issued with confirmation of permanent residence you should apply using form EEA3. If your family members are EEA nationals they should be included on the EEA3 application form if they have resided here (in accordance with the Regulations) for 5 years. Your non-EEA national family member should apply using form EEA4.
