Hello good people !

I just need a few clarifications about PR, ILR and RETENTION RIGHTS is a particular instance. Here it goes:

What happens if a non eea family member (spouse) of an eea national divorces the eea national within 5yrs of marriage (4 yrs and 6 weeks), and informs the HO of this. Obviously, there would be a need to change the immigration status

Upon application, does the non eea national apply for :
(i) PR
(ii) ILR
(iii) RETENTION RIGHTS

A different question here, does the stipulated 5 years of marriage under eu law commence from the date of marriage or the date the family residence card was issued?

In my case i got married in April 2008 and residence card issued Dec 2009.

Please kindly respond.

Thanks

With your marriage in 2008 you will automatically attain PR in 2013 unless you already foresee it not lasting that long.
