You might wish to apply for a EEA Family Permit now to benefit from the transitional arrangements which will be in place for people who applied before the changes come into effect (January 2014).

Applicable to unmarried partners?

65 wrote:Similar argument was considered in Kamila Santos Campelo Cain. There a British national and his unmarried non-EEA national partner had three children, one of whom was born when he was exercising Treaty rights in Spain and Portugal over a two year period. It was argued that, whereas regulation 9 of the EEA Regulations did not apply to unmarried partners of British nationals, there was no distinction in principle which could be made between married and unmarried partners. The Upper Tribunal (Haddon-Cave J and Judge Kopieczek) accepted that the exercise of the right of free movement was as likely to be affected by the inability of a durable partner to reside with the EEA national as it would be were his or her spouse to be denied residence status. It accepted at paragraph 39 that the Surinder Singh principle does extend to persons such as the appellant who are in a durable relationship. I agree with this conclusion. It seems to me that Surinder Singh must now be read in the light of any new rights arising from the Directive, such as those benefiting family members falling within Article 3.2.
