HI
Can you please help on the following issue.
Got married in May 2006.
I applied for PR and ROR (Retained rights of Residence after Divorce in 2010)at the same time in June 2011. I got PR in Oct 2011. I finishh 6 years in May 2012 under EU law. Will i have to wait until Oct 2012 (one year since PR) to apply for British nationality or i can apply after May 2012 (6 years under EU law). Will i have to provide any documents from my Ex wife, EU National as they have checked all the documents on PR EEA4 Application. What documents will i have to provide. I really appreciate your time and help.

Once you are divorced then you are not covered by the EEA regulations. You will have to apply in Oct 12 one year after PR was granted for this to be processed without hiteches. If you do use the EEA route and try to apply a few months early, you will need to provide loads of info for EEA national, which might not be easy or advisable

Reda th question relates to BC and not PR, OP has been issued with PR. If OP is divorcred from the EEA national and needs to apply for BC after 6 years of exercing treaty rights then loads more information would be reuired pertaining to the EEA national. Proof of employment for 5 years, periods when the eea national was out of the country etc.

the OP has been issued with PR and ROR at the same time on June 2011,at my opinion hi has nothing to add from what he already has collected for that matter concerning his former spouse,the only extra document should be about him from(june 2011- may 2012)

I'm gonna have to go with reda on this one, if a person was issued retention of right of residence and subsequently issued pr and later decides to apply for British citizenship, i think all that is required is 6 years of the non-eea national's proof of residency, don't forget that period of ror i.e after divorce is also counted towards the 5years residence needed to apply for BC. person who has retained their right of residence and had confirmation from HO is also treated as being an eea national exercising treaty right therefore all that is needed is 6years of proof of residency to apply for BC

I suggest you read this post -
Citizenship for a Romanian Person. You might have acquired PR already and able to apply for BC directly.
