EU Settled Status to Citizenship for Non EU family member

I have got EU Settled status as a non eu family member last month. My father is the EU citizen. I want to move out from my parents home and live elsewhere in the UK independently, Will this affect my citizenship application?

Found my answer. No problem with moving out after getting settled status.

It will however affect the ability to sponsor your husband on the EEA/EU route if not living with an EU sponsor.

Thank you for your reply. Yes that is correct. After checking the EEA EFM guideline, I have found out my EU father can not sponsor my husband as an Extended family member, because my husband never lived with us in my home country or any other country. I met him in the UK and he has been livingh with us last 2 months. So, in order to sponsor him, I must rely on spouse visa route. But believe it or not, home office advisor said he can not rely on spouse visa either because I got my settled status as an EU family member. I personally do not think the advisor is correct. As a person with settled status (ILR) I should be able to sponsor my husband for spouse visa. When I challenged the advisor he got frustrated and asked me to contact independent solicitor.

The situation is so frustrating and confusing, I feel like crying.

Hi,I am also in same situation.do you have any update on this?
Thanks,
Arun

Home Office advice lines are not to be trusted - they're probably worse than solicitors.

Unless the law has changed recently in this regard, settled status is a privileged form of ILR, so it enables your spouse to apply for a spouse visa, and get it if you can demonstrate you meet the requirements, including the financial requirements. I suspect the advisor was correctly thinking that you did not have the privileges that EEA citizens get from permanent residence; in this case, they're not much greater than those they get from being a qualified person.
