Permanent right to reside as a jobseeker
Sorry - it’s Friday, it’s late and I also didn’t think I’d need this one again, so it didn’t lodge in my brain - but I’m certain there was something in one of the old DMG or ADM sections where DWP conceded that a continuous period of 5 years solely as a jobseeker would result in a person acquiring a permanent right of residence - in ‘old money’ I(EEA) Regs 2016 terms. Anyone got a link/reference?
Cheers Elliot - that will do me. It’s implicit in what Judge Poynter says (i.e. that the entirety of the 5 years might be as a Jobseeker) but I thought there was something somewhere in the DMG where the DWP concede that expressly.
It’s a bit of a kicker though, I thought the prospects of my 3rd country national client having a RtR via her estranged husband having himself acquired a permanent RtR prior to turning 21 via his mother would be remote (i.e. remote evidentially - but the records have turned out to show complete actual NICS or credits for a full 10 years). Was looking forward to the much more interesting Arts 8 and 14 and tangential AT arguments we’ve got. Better for her though…...
