Im needing some help

[Arthur Little]

am I missing something?

I think the immigration route that you have so far followed is rather confusing and making the whole situation potentially complex. Although I hope not.

Possibly because the EEA Family Permit route does not allow for fiance(e).

Ah ... I see. for your explanation ... now things are beginning to make sense - I THINK, anyway!

Yes Arthur, it's normally the case that the couple would be married or in a civil partnership when following the EEA route.
If the couple are neither married nor in a formal civil partnership, they are not legally excluded from approval of the EEA family permit, but it does become significantly more difficult to prove that they have a durable relationship with each other, especially when not actually living together.
