Hi everyone, I’m non-EEA and I want to ask if I can apply for ROR.
Married for 7 years, 3 years in UK before divorce application.
Ex filed for divorce before applying for presetteled and at that time ex was not working.
Now with EUSS is it relevant if he was a relevant EEA citizen when divorce started?

Have divorce proceedings finalized? Do you already have a decree absolute?

Then you are still legally married.

1. How long have you been living in the UK?
2. Is your soon-to-be ex spouse still in the UK?
3. Are they cooperative and want to help you with the application?

1. 6 years, but Home Office refused my application for permanent residence because ex was never a qualified person.
2. yes, still in UK.
3. there is no chance to get any help from them.

My biometric card expired last year.

Dont you have any residence at present?

You should apply under the settlement scheme. Have you attempted to do that.

I can’t get sponsor’s passport and proof of residence.
Can I apply without their documents and without valid residence card? Or better wait until we are divorced?

Can I apply for presettled with expired BRC and without spouse's ID?

Pre-settled without spouse ID and BRC

Hi everyone, I’m non-EEA married to EU citizen.
We are separated but I need to apply for pre-settled.
Ex is not cooperating so there is no chance to get his ID and I have no valid visa or BRC.
What is the best way to apply for pre-settled in my situation?

Do you have a copy of his passport or national ID? At least a number. You can use either when applying for settlement scheme. Try.
How did you get your residence card if he was never a "qualified person"?
I believe you can obtain some information (passport details at least) from the court where the divorce application has been filed. I hope so.
Do you have children?
