My husband came to the UK in May 2008 and received his Residence Card in 2009, We would like to know when his 5 years will be up, is it from when he entered the country or when he received his Residence Card in his passport. Just not sure !!

5 years starts from when you both began residing in the UK as husband and wife. If this was May '08, then your husband will attain PR in May '13.
