NON EEA & EEA divorce

I'm a NON-EEA national who has been married to a EEA national since March 2004. We are now going through a divorce, and my spouse will be leaving UK permenantly.

As I understand , according to my circumstances I have a right to exercise ' Continued right of residence' :

Does anyone know whether I need to make an application in order to get this, as my wife will be leaving before the completion of my 5 years here?

If I do need to make an application, which form am I required to submit and what documents should be submited along with it?

Appreciate any body's help on this.

Thanks

You must apply as soon as the divorce is finalised or if she leaves the UK.

Thanks Victoria. However is there a particular form that I need to fill in? If so which one? And what documents do I need to submit with my application?

Thanks for your help once again.

Victoria, what does the OP have to apply for?

Good question.

Perhaps not then. It may be that the Home Office need to be notified that the circumstances have changed, rather than an application be made.

Now that is an advice I can live with. londdd, while it is not an obligation by law that you notify the HO about your change is circumstance, it is what the HO recommends. When the 5 years are up, you will be able to apply for the PR provided you meet all the requirements.
