How long before your visa expires can you?do u have to apply for new one???

No, he won't be illegal. In fact, he should be a permanent resident by now provided that both of you have continuosly resided in the UK for 5 years and the EEA national has exercised his/her treaty rights in this period. You really need to read up here in the forum. Also look into the EEA regulations. Apply for PR now if you want and apply for citizenship later this year.

thanks for your answer.

you dont need to be harsh i am reading arround, i just didnt find anything answering this question for me yet. I am sorry if it has been mentioned before. And about your other comment I am not trying to hijeck other ppls threads i thought you r allowed to leave your own comments start a discussion in someone elses thread regarding the same topic and ask for someones opinion on the same. i dont understand what your problem with this is. Anyways thanks for your reply still.

The problem is that you spread information of your case over several threads. You not only commented in other threads but also added questions of your own (=hijacking). It is expected courtesy here to open a thread of your own with all necessary details. You can't possibly expect others to look in all your comments to collect this information. It should also not be too much to ask to have a look into previous discussions.

okay
