Are you applying for RC based on self-sufficiency of your EEA partner or is this just to prove long term relationship? If the latter, I believe you probably have other ways of proving that your relationship is "marriage-like".

Hi Khan,

You don't need necessarily to provide bank statements. From the EEA2 form itself:
For unmarried partners: proof that you are in a durable relationship. Generally this is proof that
you have been in a subsisting relationship for two years or more, such as joint bank or building
society statements, joint tenancy agreements, council tax bills or evidence that you are both
paying utility bills at the property at which you reside.
So you can submit any other kind of document which, basically, shows cohabitation for a minimum of two years.
