Hi there,

I was
wondering if someone out there could help me, I submitted an EAA2 application
as the spouse of an EU national on 23 of January 2012, the issuing of the visa
took over 9 months which mean that even though I submitted my application before
the 9th of July 2012 the permit was issued starting from October 2012 (9thof July is when the new rule came out changing the requirements for ILR for EEA
family members from 2 to 5 years). The Home Office issued my EAA permit from
the day before it was sent to me on the post, permit issued date 05 October 2012. My question is,  am I still entitled to apply for ILR under the
rules before 9th July 2012 ( ILR after two years of visa)? If I am, will
the eligibility requirements for ILR be the current ones or the ones before 9thJuly?

Thanks

D
