After a long wait , finally i received my PR .
PR application after obtaining retained residence right
Application sent (postal): 17/03/2017
Online Status: decided on 28 / Sep/2017
Waiting time : 6 and half months
Documents received: ??
PR cards received: 05/10/2017
PS: A lot of people are confused about if the ex-EU sponsor's passport needs to be submitted . I haven't submitted it because I don't have contact with my ex anymore. Therefore, from my case, it seems it is not a strict requirement. But it is better to explain the reason well in a cover letter.
Best luck to those who are still waiting .
