Hi there,

I'm married to a EEA national who is settled in the uk.
I was granted a spouse visa for 27 months. I've been living in the uk
on this category for just over 2 yeas now so believe I can now apply for indefinit leave to remain.
I contact a lawyer, he told me that it's very unlikely that I have a spouse visa as it is only granted for British nationals spouse and that EEA Nationals only get family permit.

I got my visa in Brazil it says ENTRY CLEARANCE- visa type: SPOUSE/CP.
Could anybody help me regarding which visa I'm entitled after this one and on the aplication process, which form, proves I should include etc.

Any help will be very much appreciated

Many thanks
Paulo

 

Thanks Texkourgan for your prompt reply.

I checked the home office website and from my understanding I qualify for the ILR.
however the lawyers input confused me.
In fact the lawyer said he didn't believe I hold a spouse visa based on the fact that my wife is AEE NATIONAL AND NOT BRITISH therefore I should be grated a Family permit instead. so I sent him a copy of the visa then he said that in fact I have a Spouse visa but he didn't understand why and he was going to confirm with colligues...

Considering I hold a Spouse visa (not a family permit) which form I should fill out? Because for what I understand there are different forms for EEA and for British spouses.

Many thanks
