Hi everyone,
I really need some help in clarifying my visa questions as I've been searching all over the Internet and they all have different answers. To summarise everything in a timeline:
03.23.2020 Applied EUSS
03.28.2020 Applied EEA family permit (as I was told that I need proof of relationship)
31.08.2020 Applied for Tier 2 work visa
10.09.2020 Received EEA residence card valid until 30.06.2021
05.11.2020 Received the pre-settled status
09.06.2021 Granted Tier 2 residence permit (not valid anymore)
01.01.2023 Relationship Separation
Questions:
1. Is it absolutely necessary to report about the separation? I found the corresponding link here but it doesn't seem to be specific to EUSS:
https://www.gov.uk/visas-when-you-separate-or-divorceI
2. If reporting is needed, after doing so, what could happen to my pre-settled status? Will I still be eligible for settled status after 5 continuous years of residence?
3. If I am eligible for settled status, from which year and month can I start to apply?
4. Now my ex-partner wants to sponsor a new partner (I'm guessing only a marriage visa will work otherwise EUSS needs 2 years of joint residence), is it possible for him to get married and apply for a marriage visa for the new partner by this May?
5. If we don't report separation, will there be risks of failure of their marriage visa application?
6. What are the routes for me to go for indefinite leave to remain if I failed for settled status?
7. If I stay with a new partner, will I still be eligible for settled status after 5 continuous years of residence?
I'm in a messy situation so would appreciate any responses.
