Regardless of his status, you are only eligible for Pre-Settled status, as you have not yet spent the required 5 years in the UK as the family member of a EU national.
Not sure what "dependent visa" you are talking about. This term is used for other immigration categories that do not apply for EU nationals and their families (British family members, and Tier visas).Will I be expected to apply for the dependent visa instead?
What if I prove that our relationship was serious before the marriage as well? He was added to my tenancy agreement in October 2018 (he practically moved into my place even before that but we can't prove it). Can't I gain at least 1 year by proving our marriage-like relationship started before the wedding? We also opened a joint account and get bills in both names.kamoe wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 11:28 amRegardless of his status, you are only eligible for Pre-Settled status, as you have not yet spent the required 5 years in the UK as the family member of a EU national.
You will be eligible for Settled Status 5 years after your wedding, if you are still married (or if you are then divorced but meet the relevant requirements for the then applicable legislation for retained rights of residence) and you are still in the UK.Not sure what "dependent visa" you are talking about.

As long as you include your husband's application number in your Settlement scheme application (there is space for that) this makes your application related, attached, and dependent on his.

Generally speaking Pre-Settled status gives you more flexibility than Tier 2. For example, you can work for any employer you want with Pre-Settled status, which you usually can't do with Tier 2 (where you are usually tied to the company that sponsored your visa). Bottom line is, whom do you want your right to reside in the UK to depend on? Your husband, or your employer?Also is it better to have pre-settled status than Tier 2? Should I even bother converting my immigration status?
