Affer contacting eu setlement call center and reading a lot info, I believe!!!

All non eu citizens who married with eu citizens
If they got already pre settle status they got because they are family member of eu citizen.
If non eu divorce from eu , there are not family member anymore its mean Date of the termination they will lose their rights, after termination, home office gave you 60 days in 60 days, you can apply retained the right of residence or bye bye to UK.

Some people says pre settle is not under EU laws etc I can stile use my pre settle status Thats not correct. You can stile use your pre settle after divorce if you are from eu citizen
if you are no eu citizen then you need to make new application under retained the right of residence to get pre settle again.

all non eu get pre settle because there married with eu citizen basicly they transfer eu laws to UK laws and they created eu setlement and they edit it how they want, but they didn't add anything about non eu can stay after divorce untill their pre settle expired or etc everything the same, if you wanna appy again pre settle under retained the right of residence then

The marriage or civil partnership with a relevant EEA
citizen (or qualifying British citizen) has been terminated

Requirements.....

• they were resident in the UK at the date of the termination.
• prior to the initiation of the proceedings for the termination of the marriage or
civil partnership, the marriage or civil partnership had lasted for at least 3 years,
and both parties had been resident in the UK for a continuous qualifying period
of at least 1 year during its duration


Good luck for everyone.

Absolutely wrong... you can't just say you believe something when you have not been in the shoes... everytime I have been asked at the point of entry who my family member is... I say my ex wife, and nobody ever said my rights were off since I divorced.... See, go and read the guidelines carefully and dont mislead people here. Thanks

I got presettled status while married, after divorce I was told I did not need to re apply till when I am qualified for settled status. And I have travelled since after my divorce so many times to different places.....Africa, America etc.... Pre settled status is granted under british law and despite the fact that you are linked to a sponsor, it is an individual status(meaning no one would care about your family member at the border when you are coming back in. To go further, with an EEA residence card, the law states that you must be coming back with or to meet your family member in the UK; reason why people with such status could be asked about their family members on return to the UK, but with presettled status you are not expected to be travelling with or coming in to meet your family member as you have a status solely for you... Like I said earlier I am in this shoes I still am till later this year when I'll qualify for settled status and will apply this time including my divorce certificate, showing we were married for more than 3 years and a documents to show we both lived together for at least a year in the uk during that period of time, which are the requirements for settled status if you are retaining your rights. I hope this clears it

You might be right but, I texted home office, I called many times eu settlement call center and ask them but everybody gives me different answer, then I research all documents from gov.Uk thats why I said what I believe..
I also wanna ask did you divorce in the UK and how long does it take? People says around 1 year, I wanna know your experience if you could share with us here* pls?

My only question is, I'm divorced now. So If I was to re marry a NON-EU, can I sponsor her to the UK under pre-settled status? Or is that possible only through a settled status?

For all those wondering,

If you are an Non-EU who is divorced and has Pre-settled status, you can freely enter and exit the country using your EU Family member Biometric card. This has been mentioned on this thread multiple times by DinoTino and few others (Thanks for that). I also checked multiple articles published by gov.uk and there is no clear picture of anything of this sort mentioned, in fact they are misleading and very confusing.

As a result, I had to email my solicitor and he has confirmed that once I receive pre-settlement after divorce, I can move in and out of the country using my previously issued BRC card.

This is really good news! And thank you so much for sharing such good news! Just a question previously they said as soon as you got divorced your brc becomes invalid (may be I was misled) if not how come it’s still valid after divorce?

Hi all,
I am in the same situation, I got my pre-settled status and in process of divorce.
I have been married to an EU citizen for more then 3 years.
Now should I apply for a Retained right to reside after my divorce finalised or should I keep using my EU family member residence card until I make 5 years in the UK ( that would be in February 2022) and apply strait for a settled status ?

Thank you all,

First of all, sorry for the delay in reply.

Yes, my solicitor has confirmed that I can travel freely in and out of UK using my previous BRP.

You should apply under retained rights when its time to apply for Settled status from your current pre-settlement status.

I called the resolution centre today and they told me that I can travel with my BRC and then apply under the retained right to reside when I apply for the settled status.
The lady told me as well that she put a notice on my application that I'm in process of divorce.
I don't know if that will cause me more questions at the border or not but I think I might have to wait until my divorce is finalised then I travel to save my self a hassle of answering all the questions.

You may continue with the current pre settled status.

Provisions are made for curtailment of pre settled status, but this only arises on cases of fraud or deception.

Hi obie, Merry christmas.

Does it mean i can still the pre settled status i have right now and travel with my eu residence card?

I have divorced already and applied again to the settlement scheme under RoR.


It is been a month and no decision yet.

So since the previous pre settled status is still valid. I was wondering if i can travel using that and my EU residence card to travel and come back to the UK with no issues ?
Thanks a lotfor the reply
