    Hello.

    As a family member of an EEA National, I have been in the UK with a 5-year home office document/visa .
    I have been working legally here in the UK since then.

    My 5-years visa is about to expire and I am not sure about what to do next:

    1- As far as I understand, after staying for 5 years, I should be able to apply for ILR.
    What documents and forms to I need to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain?

    2- Do I need to apply together with my spouse and our children who are all EEA Nationals? They currently have a blue card/permit from the Home Office.

    3- How long does it take? (I need to know as my visa will expire in a couple of month...)

    Thank you very much.

    Happy new year.

    Amoros.

    The Guide to London offers helpful information about visas in the UK and other issues associated with being an expat. In addition, our article "Obtaining a Visa to Live, Study and Work: the United Kingdom" covers some of the information about immigrating to the UK.

    In regards to ILR, or Permanent Residence, it is granted to people who have already shown a commitment to the UK. Requirements depend on what visa you currently hold and for how long. It appears you've done that by successfully gaining a visa and work. Applicants must have sufficient knowledge of the English language and life in the United Kingdom.

    Required documents:
    Form EEA2 (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... /eea21.pdf)
    Valid passport
    Passport or national identity card of your UK, EEA or Swiss national sponsor
    Evidence of your relationship to the UK, EEA or Swiss national (e.g. marriage license or birth certificate)
    Two (2) recent passport photos

    There are two ways of applying for settlement, by post or through a public enquiry office (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... 8m%29/scs/). Applications need to be submitted no more than 28 days before you become eligible to apply. However, you must make your application before your current permission to stay in the UK expires. From Wednesday 29 February 2012, all applicants in the UK need to obtain a biometric residence permit (fingerprints and facial image) to stay for more than 6 months. The ILR requires you to not spend 2 years or more outside of the UK, as this can lead to it being revoked.

    Hopefully this helps clarify a few things and points you in the right direction. Obviously, the UK Border Agency is the official site and they offer a step-by-step guide to applying here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... tiontypes/

    Please let us know about any other questions you have and the process of applying. This info is really helpful for other expats. Best of luck! :D

    Amoros,

    For the ILR application, you need to fill out EEA4, your wife and kids the EEA3.

    They don't have to fill it out to stay here as they are EEA citizens, but if your eventual goal is to gain UK citizenship, and want them to have UK Citizenship as well, then current rules state that one must have had the ILR for at least a year prior to applying for Naturalisation.

    The EEA 3 and 4 applications are free anyway so just go ahead with it.

    Hello PolskaSweetie.
    Thank you very much for your help.
    By The Way, I love your avatar :)

    About the EEA3 form for my wife:

    1- We have a child born outside of the UK when we moved in and he has been going to school here for over 5 years now. I suppose we have to include him on the EEA3. right?

    2- We have another one born here in the UK a year ago. Should we include him on the EEA3 as well?

    Thank you very much.

    Amoros.
