Hi Members,
my question is very simple. As we know that Brexit is going to take place after 29 March 2019. If some EEA national moves into UK before 29th March 2019 with his non-EEA partner. Would they be treated as same as before (for example 5 years resident permit route and then PR after? ) , or the new laws will be applied on them?
Thanks.

New requirements will apply after 29 March 2019, but there's a grace period until the end of the transition period by which you need to be registered for (pre)-settled status, if it all turns out as expected.

can I ask that what is the Grace Period in simple wording? something different than before announcement of the brexit date?

There will be a transition period (20 months) after 29.3.2019 where not much changes but you will be encouraged to register. There is another period after the transition is finished (the grace period) which is extra time to submit your application if you haven't done all ready. After that date you would be illegal under UK immigration law (don't have the proposed period and dates at hand but can be found in the draft agreement).

may I ask what is the (pre)-settled status, and how it would be treated after certain period of time (for example after 5 years?) . And what would be the process to convert it into the PR/ILR? Under EU law or UK law?

pre/settlled status is the post-brexit replacement for Residence Card / PR card - and is governed by UK law.

I strongly encourage you to read the official government guideline:
