How to apply for ILR after divorce

Hello,

I lived with my husband for 3 years and we stayed married for 3 years. I've lived in the UK since 10/2013 (so over 6 years now). I've always worked and I support myself. How can I apply for ILR? I had printed a form but I can no longer find it in gov.uk - has anything changed?

Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks.
Alice

What nationality is your ex spouse?

What is your UK immigration history?

His nationality is Polish.

I came to the UK on a fiancee visa for 6 months. Got married, got my first visa valid for 3 years, got divorced at 3 years of marriage, applied for visa after divorce. My current visa is valid for 6 years.

Thanks.

What visa exactly did you have for 3 years??

What visa have you got now exactly that is valid for 6 years??

Asking as there are no visas as such with these durations based on an EU spouse.

Sorry here are the dates I can see in my biometric permit/residence card. I have had three:

1) First married, (Family Member - EU Residence) valid for 2.5 years (2013-2016)
2) Renewed my visa still married, (Family Member - EU Residence) valid for 5 years (2016-2021)
3) Got divorced, got a new visa (Family Member - EU Residence) (2018-2023)

Thanks.

Seems you have held visas under two different visa categories.

1) First married, (Family Member - EU Residence) valid for 2.5 years (2013-2016)

A 2.5 year visa is a spouse visa under the UK immigration rules and not an EU residence. An EU FM residnece card is issued for 5 years not 2.5 years. What was your spouse nationality at this point?

3) Got divorced, got a new visa (Family Member - EU Residence) (2018-2023)

Was this through retained rights of residence under the EU rules?

Yes, he was a Polish national for my first visa, and then he got UK 'settled' status for my subsequent visas.

Yes, I got my last visa under retained rights of residence.

Thanks.

Would I need to apply under the European Settlement Scheme?

Thank you.
