I have a quick question/need advice regarding the EU settled status scheme. I'm a non EEA national and I entered the UK in 2015 on a Tier 2 General visa with my then fiance who is an EEA national. We got legally married in April 2016 just before the brexit referendum and at the time we decided it was best I stay on the Tier 2 General visa in case there were any implications of brexit on the rights on EU citizens. Fast forward to 2019 and the settled status scheme will open end of March is it advisable to:
1. Apply for an EEA2 residence card at this stage and then for settled status?
2. We will have been in the UK for five years in August 2020, does switching my visa from tier 2 general to pre-settled status mean that my clock will be reset and leave me on the pre-settled status for another five years - alternative being sticking it out on the visa for another 18months
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
3. As I was not here as the spouse of an EU national but rather on the visa is it likely my pre-settled status application will be accepted
Thank you
