Yes, that is assessed first and if one falls foul of that then the rest does not proceed.

Am I right in my reading of the criteria set out here that if one is an EU or EEA citizen, with lawful and habitual residency, then after three months one would satisfy the long-term interest but for non-EEA citizens it is a five-year period of, as it says, "reckonable residency"? Am I right to read the criteria as saying that there is a "reckonable residency" of three months for EU and EEA citizens but five years for everybody outside?
