No. At no point in the application process of the EEA RC are you even asked if you have a EUSS card, hence having one is irrelevant when applying ot the EEA RC. Both systems are not mutually excluive, so as @Zerubbabel says, you can have both cards at the same time.
No.2. If he is granted EEA RC, would he loss his pre-settlement status?
No.3. Does the EEA RC application requires him to submit his pre-settlement card?
It's quite silly thing to do it that order, since doing the opposite would have saved you an additional biometrics process. But such is life.4. Does anyone applied for pre-settlement before EEA RC ?

Your solicitor was right as he recommended you apply under the new scheme rather than under the one that is being slowly deprecated. As immigration applications are painful and often expensive, nobody wants to apply for a card that will last just a few months.we went by what we were told my immigration lawyers.

I haven't seen anyone doing it in this order. Most people do the opposite.
Still, as both scheme are "compatible" with each other, having one doesn't exclude you from the other. In that sense, I don't see why the Home Office would take away the EU Settlement Scheme card if you apply for an EEA card.
Provided the EEA application is successful (I don't see why it won't) your husband can then use it for EEA travels with you.
On dear it seems like eu settlement scheme decisions are quicker than eea rc. It is true because he received his pre-settlement BRC card in less than a month after applied.Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 8:19 pmYour solicitor was right as he recommended you apply under the new scheme rather than under the one that is being slowly deprecated.

The only restriction is that the cards obtained under the EU Settlement Scheme don't allow visa free travel to EEA countries. You can then apply for one for purpose of travel but you may never know how long it would take to get it. It can be just a few weeks but I have seen 6 months+ already. If your travel is coming soon, a Schengen visa is faster.
I did not say you were silly. You followed advice from a professional, which is more than reasonable.Zadith wrote: I wouldn't call it "silly" if you apply in this order. In our case, we didn't know so we went by what we were told my immigration lawyers.

Thanks Kamoe.kamoe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 1:05 pmDifficult to say.
Taken to the letter, it could be interpreted that one needs to submit one's EU Settlement Scheme BRC, but that is an unfortunate consequence of having applied in the wrong order. The EEA RC caseworker is not expecting at all a EU Settlement Scheme BRC.
Now, if that is the only piece of documentation that proves that the applicant has current leave, then to be on the safe side, it might be sensible to just submit it with the application. In any case, ask for it to be returned to you as soon as possible. Mind that, in the current climate that might take a while; all postal applications will take a while for that matter.
