Applicants who are not nationals of an EEA country or Switzerland, and who are in the United Kingdom with their family members who are nationals of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia or Slovenia, will not be able to apply for a residence card until the national of that country has been continuously employed in the UK for 12 months.
