It's not applicable to EEA family permit applications under the EEA regulations.

320(11) is applicable if someone is applying for a fiance visa under the immigration rules.

The EEA regulation dont start to apply until after the marriage.

However if the fiance of an EEA national is refused under this provision, they could argue that the discretion under that provision should not have been exercised in their case, as it will hinder the EEA nationals free movements right. Depending on the circumstance and nature of their relationship and the planned marriage, they could argue their relationship is durable, as durable partners dont necessarily have to live in the same household to qualify. A committment for future marriage could indicate a durable relationship.

Seen as you are now married, i believe the issue under 320(11) is purely academic to your situation, as the EEA regulation is now fully applicable as Vinny correctly pointed out.

You are together six years. That's a long time. You are married. You should have no problems under the EEA route. If you can show evidence of a long standing relationship, it will be even easier.

What do you do in the UK? Are you working?

Where does your spouse live presently?
