I am curious I have been living together with him before marriage for a year, can I apply for settlement in 2022 instead of 2023? I have seen someone say it's possible, and if so, what document should I prepare for it? thank you!!
It depends. Did you have a RC as unmarried partner?
As far as I know, and as fas as I've seen the rules applied to numerous members here, for any time you want to count towards the 5 years you need to either:
a) have had a EEA RC as the unmarried partner of the EU national throughout that time, or
b) be married to the EU national throughout that time
Or a combination of the above.
So the time after your wedding date should count, but unless you had a RC as the unmarried partner of your now husband before your wedding, then that cohabitation time probably won't count.
My posts express what I believe are the facts, based on the best of my knowledge, about the topics discussed in this forum. They do not constitute immigration advice.
