Hi all, quick question about my (now) spouse's EUSS status, who was eligible under my status as a person of Northern Ireland.
Until now I have believed that my spouse can only apply for settled status on our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were living together from 2018 and got married end of 2019. If I can substantiate this, can this information be used to apply for settled status now, or do we need to wait until the wedding date?
Thanks!

What was their immigration status in the uk before marriage?

They were on a student visa.

Then no, as far as I understand, she would have needed an EU family permit as an unmarried partner to qualify using that time period.

You need to wait until your 5 year wedding anniversary, which should be soon enough anyway.
