Hey digixplorer, hope you are well!

Sorry to intrude but have you made your decision yet?

My case is pretty similar to yours. I got married in April 2013 and we are starting the divorce now. My RC is valid until June/2018 but I was planning to apply for ROR straight away.

I just want to understand how is it possible to stay in the UK after the decree absolute is issued? My undestanding is that you lose your rights once you stop being a family member.
Also, is it a requirement to have lived together for 5 years to get PR?

Could anyone please help clarifying that?

Thanks a lot,
M

Wait until the your RC is nearly expire and apply for PR.

Most importantly, you must have your ex treaty right till when absolute was issued with the application and your employment paperwork from that day till your RC expiry date. Otherwise it will be refused.

Good luck.
