If you have not fulfilled the five year criteria for permanent residence, there is nothing to stop you applying for another residence card assuming that your EU family member is exercising treaty rights.

You can apply again with the eu1 form.

so i got in touch with inis , and they confirmed that i have to fill the EU1 form and it should be sent to them 3 months before residency expire .
