Hi,
In Sept/18 I will be 5 years into my marriage with an European Citizen living in UK, my residency card expires on April/19, When can I apply for my PR? Should I wait for my card to expire or Can I apply earlier? We meet all the requirements my question is only about the timing of application, if you could help me with that it will be really appreciated. Thanks

There is no 28 day rule (as for some UK immigration applications) - the five years must be completed.

Hi @alterhase58

Yes, but five years of marriage or five years of visa?

It depends if you got married in the UK or abroad, your post doesn't say??

If you got married in the UK, it is 5 years from date of marriage.
