EEA4 when can I apply
Hi guys,
Apologies as I am sure this has been covered before but I need to understand what is the way to get British Citizenship.
I am currently on EEA2 since 18/07/2011.
Can I now apply for EEA4 ? My German Partner has been in this country and employed since Feb 2010 April never claimed a Penny from the government. We got married 12/02/2011.
Can I apply for EEA4 now or do i have to wait for the 5 years of our marriage before i could proceed with EEA4.
Can I now apply for EEA4 or could I go for British Citizenship straight away. Moreover my passport expires August 2015, any advise on whether to renew passport first and then apply for EEA4 or apply for EEA4 and then get passport renewed ??
Any suggestion or advise will be helpful.
Thanks Again.

Re: EEA4 when can I apply
Thanks for you response. Does that mean that because I was on PSW visa before 2011 (EEA2 after) - I can only qualify to apply for EEA4 in 2016??
I should say that we have been living together since 2010.

Re: EEA4 when can I apply
From which date were you living in the UK (not visiting, but on a visa which allowed you to live in the UK)?
If 2011 then 5 years after that means that you can apply for EEA2 sometime in 2016.

Re: EEA4 when can I apply
Hi,
I have been living in the UK since 2006 (student Visa) and 2009 Post study work visa and 2011 EEA2 visa. My partner came to the UK 2010.
Hope this helps. Unfortunately, I am still a bit confused. Thanks for you response.
