You can't get ILR under the EEA Regulations.
The most you can hope for is Permanent Residence.
All things being equal, you will not qualify for that until at least September 2017.
At present you can only qualify for Retention of residence which us not ILR.

Hi,
I have a similar question.
A friend of mine got married to an EU national and go his 5 years spouse visa until 2018, now they are no longer together. However my friend's 2 brothers are British National and one of them was advise by a solicitor that if they set up business in any EU country this can help their brother to get early ILR(which did not make any sense to me) in 3-6months.
Moderator,Gurus would you please shed a light on this.
Appreciate your assistance.

The solicitor probably is confused about the Surinder Singh route, or your friend hasn't fully understood the advice given.

Hi,
Many thanks for your reply.
Surinder Singh route can be applicable to a brother 18+ currently holding 5 years EEA spouse visa in the UK?

Only if he can prove that he is wholly dependent on his British brother/brothers.

Dear,
Hope you all well.
How can I apply spouse visa to my wife. Who currently in India.
Following my biography,
I have entered in uk on Working holiday visa in 2007.
- Got married in 2010 with Italian(EEA).
- we have been lived together till end of the 2013.
- Unfortunately due to personal reasons we took divorce in 2013.
- I got Permanent Residents card in Feb 2015 which is valid upto 2025.
Now I am going to marriage with My fiancée who is in India in this December 2015.
So on which route I should go ??? (EEA or Uk route)
Another thing my brother is dependent on me since 2010. I can prove this dependency.
Currently he is in uk on student visa which is valid till JANUARY 2017. And he is living with me. I have paid his tuition fee as well as living cost too.
Is there any route to convert his student visa to as Extended Family visa on me.
I will be thankful and grateful for you all for the advice.
Kind Regards.
