Clarifications on Amendments to EEA regulations

[sudaxl]

Hi All

I am not clear on few topics as per new EEA regulations from 23rd June 2015 .

My question :

For EEA PR application , Is it enough to prove EEA national exercising treaty rights during a period where he/she is not married to non EEA national ? or does the qualifying period need to be since we got married ?

There are different requirements depending on marital status; (this has always been the case).

... there may be circumstances where the five year qualifying period is made up of residency as a family member and as an extended family member. This is acceptable provided that the total five year period in question is continuous.
The applicant must provide the required documents, or they will not be able to count that period towards the five year qualifying criteria.

if not married does the dependent have a RC issued to them as the extended family member of the particular, named sponsor? (based on a durable relationship 'akin to marriage')?
