This question has been asked multiple times. It is the common understanding of the members of this forum that only time spent as an EEA family member counts towards the 5 years you need to qualify for Settled status; no time spent in other visa categories can count. In your case, the 5 year start on the date of issue of your first Family Permit, and in that sense, you are not qualified yet for Settled status. See why here:Dihanhan21 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 6:00 pmIs it reasonable to only give me pre-settled status in my case?
Would it not go from when your eea sponsor reaches 5 years rather than date fate of issue on your rc? As its an optional document not everyone applies right away even they were living as an eu family member with automatic rights (direct descendent for example). So if your parent has settled status and your NI shows you have both been living in the UK for 5 years? The relationship did really start anywhere as always been related. Just as an example.kamoe wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 9:55 pmThis question has been asked multiple times.

If you have some time on your hands, read through these topics, which illustrates the case of a few of us waiting for a decision and also resigned to the idea of receiving only Pre Settled Status:

Your EEA sponsor reaching 5 years is completely irrelevant to your timing. What counts is the date from which you are considered their family member AND you have been in the UK. It might be that
It is not an optional socument for extended family members.As its an optional document
Keep in mind each case is different and my original answer refers specifically to the OP's situation in which they have NOT spent the required 5 years as a family member of a EEA citizen.not everyone applies right away even they were living as an eu family member with automatic rights (direct descendent for example).

This is interesting. May I ask you where it is stated?askmeplz82 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 1:04 amFamily permit date if you arrived in the UK within 90 days of issued date
Except, RC and FP issued under the EEA route are not visas, but confirmation of rights; and are not issued under UK Immigration rules. I don't think we can assume the same principle applies to them, especially since PR is a concept that applies to the residence in the UK as an EU national (and by extension to their family members), and thus is something intrinsically linked to one's period of physical residence/presence in the UK.askmeplz82 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:21 amYour 10-year qualifying period starts from either:
when you arrived in the UK with a visa
when you were given permission to stay in the UK
