Well actually, no it does not! Because of legislation commonly known as "Section 3C", should IND not deal with the application made on form EEA2 before the stated expiry date of the student visa, then such student visa is automatically extended until they do actually deal with the EEA2 application, and should that application be rejected for any reason, until the time to appeal against that rejection has expired.As my current student visa will expire in January ......
As long as the supporting evidence proves the two of you have lived together for at least 2 years there is no reason for the application to be rejected. The two of you are clearly in a "durable relationship".I am not married with my partner yet, but we have lived together for more than 2 years here.
As already posted in this topic, IND are currently looking at EEA2 applications submitted in August, and you applied in October. So it could well be another couple of months before you hear the result of the application. So absolutely no need to panic about the delay that is occurring .... you are not being singled out.When do you reckon I should know the EEA application result as in normal case?

Which merely talks of "an extension of leave" rather than limiting the scope of that.It is often not possible to decide an application for an extension of leave until after the period of leave has expired. To prevent applicants from becoming overstayers through no fault of their own, section 118 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 introduced an amended section 3C into the Immigration Act 1971. Section 3C automatically extends the leave of a person who has made an application for further leave to remain during a period of extant leave. Technically, the leave is "treated as continuing".
