Hello all,
i am new to this site and i was wondering if you could please help me out with my doubts. I have been living with my unmarried EEA national since 2010. My partner is German national and he never applied for EEA1, but he has been working since 2000 in the UK . We are planning to apply for EEA1 and EEA2, as we have lived 4 years already how long do we have to wait to apply for PRC?

Based on the situation described above the EEA national may have already been a permanent resident. But you as a non-EU national have to spend further 5 years from the date when you will be issued EEA2 RC. Instead of EEA1 & EEA2, EEA3 and EEA2 can be sent.

Thanky ou for your reply it really helped. I also would like to know, my partner is about to register at job center as he recently lost his job and have applied for jobs and looking forward to get one of them in the near future (fingers crossed) . Would it be a problem when applying for EEA RCs if he registers him self at job center and gets money until he finds a job?

Since it looks like your partner has Permanent Residence already based on his past history, he longer needs to exercise Treaty rights anymore (i.e. working, self-employed, etc). It would facilitate things for you if he applied for EEA3, although it isn't absolutely required and you can still get Permanent Residence without it when you become eligible for it.

If you don't have a joint financial commitments and no child after 4/5 years living together then *may* be HO call you for an interview as this may be a possibility that although you are living together but not in durable relation and may be sharing the rented property.
