Hello all,

I am now fully separated from my EEA partner. I do not know what to do as I am here working and living on the basis that they are 'sponsoring' me. I was able to settle and work here on an EEA Family Permit (issued in 2014 and set to expire in 2019. I went to the UKBA website to see if I was eligible to apply for permanent residence through the divorce/separation route but it said I did not qualify for this. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?

I am an American, working full time - making well over the threshold of income requirement, have lived in UK since 2013. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you married or an unmarried partner?

We were married

Your rights continue until such time as you are divorced as long as your spouse remains in the UK exercising treaty rights.

Once divorced you can apply for retained rights of residence or PR once you have 5 years residence and your spouse has been a qualifying person exercising treaty rights for the whole period.

Thank you CR001. Do I apply via EEA family permit renewal or do I apply via PR application?

Please continue in your own topic you already have. It is considered rude and unfair to this original pisyer to tag your question onto another members thread.

It creates confusion when members respond and becomes a mish mash.

So I should use the EEA (FM) form and apply the section ROR to my case? :_)
