ILR is an application under UK immigration rules. PR is an application under EU rules. In addition to section 11 of the form, here is a checklist.

The quickest answer is , yes you will need his documents, up until divorce, and thereafter you have to show yours.

As i have recently divorce, can i travel out of Uk and return without issues with the immigtation officers at the airport.

Then secondly, Can i appy for the ILR now that i'm divorce but i have not completed the five years on my marriage visa ie i have only spent 3 years on the visa .

If you can provide evidence to the immigration Officer that you are a family member who has retained his/her right of Residence, then you will be able to secure entry.

You cannot obtain PR, until you have been in the UK for 5 years in accordance with the EEA regulation. Subject to you having retained your right of residence in the first place.

Thanks very much Obie, but i still have more question to ask pls. what kind of evidence should i show them, pls give an example. is it my divorce certificate or something else.

Then i have been in this country since 2004 as a student till 2006, after that i applied for HSMP which was refuse before i met my husband in 2008 and we got married, those all this qualified for PR pls.

Thanks for your kind and helpful advice.

You will need to satisfy the immigration officer that your spouse was a qualified person at the date of the divorce.
