You don't apply to Settled Status. You apply for The EUSS, and the system decides which one of Pre-Settled or Settled status you are granted. That being said, you can apply whenever you want, but if you apply before you have completed 5 years as a family member of a EU citizen in the UK, you'll only get Pre-Settled Status.
Yes, you can wait to apply until June 2021, however, your current card will not be valid after December 2020 (The printed date on the card means nothing, do not count on it). See the notice regarding validity of EEA RC here:We got married in Mar 2016 and i have got Resident card in Feb 2017 (expiring in Feb 2022) as i applied late! (...) i.e As i heard EU Settle status is open until June 2021, Can i apply in June 2021 before the scheme finish?
If you already have a residence card it will not be valid after 31 December 2020.
From the date you became a legally married person (as recognized in the UK e.g. islamic marriage does not count) to a EU national AND you where in the UK. So, you count you five years:2: As we got married in Mar 2016, Can i count 5 years route from the dated we got married/marriage certificate or as per RC started dated?
But wouldn't the time a non-EU has lived in the UK with the EU partner before the marriage count towards the 5 years required to get the settled status?kamoe wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:01 amYour concerns are almost identical to those expressed by another member in this post, read it.

You being married to a EU national exercising treaty rights means you can stay in the UK legally between January 1st 2021 and whenever you new Settlement card is issued, but you might find it difficult to travel or change houses or jobs without a physical valid card (as explained in the other post I linked above).From the date you became a legally married person (as recognized in the UK e.g. islamic marriage does not count) to a EU national AND you where in the UK.

-If you got legally married abroad, from the date you came back in the UK as married
-If you got legally married in the UK, from the date you got married
-If your marriage is only a religious one (e.g. islamic) then from the date you got issued your card
Correct. From what you explain, you will be eligible for Settled Status on Mar 2021.bamby322 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:42 amWe registered our marriage in the local council and we have got UK registered marriage certificate.
Sorry i forgot to mention that i have got Pre settle status as well last year in May.
*So, that means i can apply for Settle Status when my 5 years completed from the date i got married?
Sounds like you might be confused between the soon-to-be retired EEA rute and the EUSS?
I was just worried that EU settle scheme will be finished in the UK so i will probably face new rules to follow instead an easy EU Settle scheme process to get permanent resdence in the UK.
Not unless you had a EEA RC as the unmarried partner of your spouse prior to your marriage.
If you only held a Tuer 4 visa before your marriage, then no. Time spent before your marriage while not having a residence permit issued under the EEA route does not count towards Settled status since between your arrival in the Uk and your official marriage, no authority officially recognized you as their family member during that time. A card issued as an unmarried partner "stands in" for that authority and turns you into your EU sponsor's family member. No card, no family member.E.g. my now then partner and I moved to the UK Sept 2017 (I was on tier 4). We have documents to prove residence since October 2017. Got married November 2019 and I'm currently waiting to get pre-settled status. I've assumed that I could change it for settled starting from October 2022, am I wrong?

The EEA route follows EU regulations and will cease to be available come 2021, at the end of the transition period, due to Brexit.
The Settlement scheme was developed by the UK government to replace the EEA route, and manage immigration status for EU nationals and their family members residing in the UK after Brexit. Why would it "be finished in the UK" and why would you "face new rules to follow" The EU Settlement Scheme does not exist anywhere else, and was designed specifically for Brexit.
