What are your nationalities? And where are you resident, in the UK or in another EEA country?

Hello

Relax, nobody is going to prison here. They don't throw you in jail because you divorce.

How come you have a pre-Settled status? We are asking because usually this status is for EEA citizens (European) and their family members. If you marry a British citizen, you usually get access to different immigration routes but there are exceptions.

I would Relax if i was you- nobody goes to Prison because their spouse told them as the relationship breaks down, this is in fact considered blackmail and threatening which are criminal offences !!
Technically you are a surinder singher and therefore falls under EEA regulations, having said that, if your spouse really want to be hardwork, you can make the divorce proceedings last longer, especially if there are kids or assets involved, that way you reach the three years of marriage and then not dispute the divorce.. Remember, under EU rules, you are still a family member of your spouse until the date of Decree absolute.
I would usually advise against going round loopholes but i am not a fan of bullies
Their nationality doesn't mean they can treat as they wish !

Ok. Thankyou so if the divorce did happen before the 3years what happen next ?

My advice would be to seek legal advice, However my thoughts are as follow:
As the marriage (not relationship) hasn't lasted for 3 years prior to initiation of divorce, this do not meet one of the eligibility criteria under regulation 10(5) but you may qualify under other point.

The General requirements are:
* The EEA National must be a qualified person "working, self employed..." or with Permanant Residence on the date of initiation of the divorce proceedings (The appendix here is naming EEA national and not being specific on qualifying BC "surinder singh" but we can withdraw the assumption that this is a residency eligibility criterion and systematically a British citizen should qualify !
* The applicant (yourself) is residing in the UK on the date of initiation of the divorce proceedings
* The applicant meets the requirements of 10 (5)(d) "there's 4 of them, and you are supposed to meet 1 of them.


the 4 Requirements of 10 (5)(d)

i - The applicant has been married for 3 years with an EEA national before initiation of divorce proceedings and that you have lived in the UK for 1 year during its duration
ii- The applicant must have a custody of the child of the EEA national (would apply if you have children)
iii- Applicant has access to child, under 18 and the court ordered such access to be in the UK, the ROR under this eligibility may cease in certain cases (you get PR, child reaches 18, custody ends, no right to access the child, order granting access is outside the UK)
iv- Difficult circumstances ( domestic violence or other depend on senior caseworker evaluation of the circumstances)
