 I've been living in the UK since Jan 2002, I was married in 2003 to a Spanish citizen. I received my 5 Year EEA residence card In 2007 (my husband is Spanish and I am South African) I haven't left the UK for longer than 2 weeks in the 5 years. I was going to apply for EEA4 but unfortunately my marriage is not working any longer and my husband is not able to help me with any supporting documentation, I am seeking divorce but I'm very worried in regards to what visa or permit I need to apply for? At present my EEA Residence card has expired (June 2012). Do I qualify to apply for British citizenship if I'm getting divorced? If not what are my options? Any information is greatly appreciated.

Depending on whether your husband has been exercising treaty rights continuously since 2003, you might have acquired Permanent Right of Residence in 2008, and subject to you being able to prove this and passing the Life in the UK test, you may be able to naturalise as a British Citizen.
