Hi All, I applied for my PR today on basis of Retained Right of Residence. I am a non-EU family member after divorce with EU Spouse. Hoping the processing time is more around the 4month mark but by the looks of it it is much longer and I should just expect it to be 6 months. Any non-EU applications ...
