He has a residence card with a pre settled status Card issued on 10 / 05 / 19 till 10 /05 / 24
He works is real estate and pays his taxes , they are not having a good time and want to
Divorce / separate .
What's the validity of the Pre-Settled Status itself? I'm assuming he was issued his EEA card, after that he applied to the EUSS with it, and after that he got Pre-Settled status for 5 years. Correct? If so, the Pre-Settled Status will likely be valid for some time after the printed date on the card.
He can stay in the UK with no problem until whatever date his Pre-Settled Status is valid for (he needs to check the Outcome letter he was sent when granted Pre-Settled status).
If by the end of that validity he is legally divorced, he will likely face issues when trying to extend his stay in the UK. Not the case if they only separate but not divorce.
Is this going to affect my friend in obtaining the passport ,
If by "passport" you mean acquiring British citizenship, that's a different question altogether. First he needs Settled Status, then he needs to live in the UK for an additional year, and only then he can apply for citizenship. And only after acquiring citizenship he can apply for a passport. Passport is not the same as citizenship; many British citizens have never have a British passport (if they have never travelled, they have never needed it).
Queries regarding British citizenship should be asked in the
British citizenship section.
