If you have 2 years worth of documentary evidence supporting your cohabitation as 'unmarried partners' then you can make an EEA2 application on these grounds. It does not matter that you are on a student visa. But do be aware that as you are considered an 'extended family member' of a EU national and not a 'family member' (spouse, civil partner), you will have to abide by the conditions of your existing visa while your application is being processed until the HO makes a decision on your application.

Check the BIA website for more info.

Unmarried partners

Hi! Can u please help me by sharing with some information?
I have got a similar situation as yours and my student visa expires in august 2009. My partner is from EEA (Poland) and Id like to switch onto an Unmarried partners visa.
We are in relationship about 2 years and lived together for 1 year, but the problem is a have no much proves to show that we lived together for 2 years, ive got just recent (made in May 2009)joint account, joint bills, some photos,visa which I traveled to Poland to see her parents,may be some travel tickets and possibly I can do the confirmation from landlord that we lived together.
Can you please tell me: any chances to get permission to stay with my partner? What the procedures do I need to take?
And you may know the good adviser who really can help for reasonable price.

Hope you understand
Thanks
