Hi All,

Urgent help needed please.

I am unmarried partner of EEA national. I received EEA2 in April 2012 but i think we are going to break up soon. I am in this country for 7.5 years now, Please can anybody suggest any option I can switch from EEA2. I am a UK graduate & my company can sponsor me. Can I switch to Tier 4 student visa or Tier 2 Sponsor?

Please can anybody help.

Kind Regards

You need to check if these applications can be made in the UK or outside the UK in your home country...

it will have to be a fresh application.

Your current status derives from a relationship to an EEA citizen. once thats no longer the case you will have to make a fresh application on the new status I believe. The 2 will be completely separate issues.

is anyone switched from EEA2 to any there category inside the country?

Thanks for the reply Ronie.

As I am in UK since feb 2007 & I can get ILR after 10 years legally in UK, my question is wether can I Apply for anyother category from UK ? If I apply from my country, my previous 7 years would not be counted?

Kind Regards

You will normally be required to apply out-of-country if you wanted to switch from the EEA regulations to other categories, except in human right cases. Whilst you can switch from any other category in-country to the EEA regulations, you cannot do the same vice versa.

Thanks a lot Dalebutt.
If I apply under human rights, are there any chances in my favour although I am in UK since Feb 2007?

Much appreciated & Regards
