Yes. I have applied for settle status two weeks ago and did not submit his copy of id and for his proof of residence only 2 p60 a tv licence and they were not covering 5 years. After I submit I did call them and explain that we are separated and he refuses to help with my application.
Marcia1234 are you fully divorced from your ex?

You should have applied for PR
PR can be backdated . Your Eu spouse is already pr holder so it could have been easy that route

askmeplz82
The conversation i had with resolution centre was before i made the settled status application. I made them know that i was separated but not divorced and asked if i had to be divorced to make a settled status application to which they kept me on hold came back and said "no" i did not need to but they said process will be sped up if i can send confirmation to prove that the divorce process has started
I have now received confirmation from divorce court My ex has also received the application from the court and will definitely be going ahead with the process... so i am not sure whether to pass this new information on or not ??
you also said it will be better/easier if i apply for PR.. Any reasons?

WOW Congratulation. Did they called you or send you email after COA ? probably they found what they want from other government agencies
Thank you! They send me an email asking for his Id and proof of residence and I did call them and explained that we are seperated and dont have full 5 years of proof. I dont think so they were able to find full 5 years, because he has not been working since 2018 and there were gaps in his employment between 2013 and 2015, i did check myself his ni cobtrubutions and only two years in the last 5 years was paid for Ni contrubitions and he has not received any benefit. But as you said they are checking it .

Guys, the truth about Non-Eu separated from their Eu wife is that they may not get a decision until divorce is finalized. I am saying this because i am in the same boat. i applied 31st of March and did Biometric same day and the Coa received on the 5th of April.
Since then, i have been calling the resolution center every week and they've always said everything is okey your file is with your case worker. But last week i spoke with a very nice lady who was very helpful and after a very friendly conversation, she said let me just tell you the truth. They are waiting for final divorce papers...if you get this you'll get a decision.
Then this week, i called again and got a different person a man in their team who told me the same thing. He asked what stage am i in the divorce process. I told him the final stage because my Eu wife has signed and then he said send a copy as soon as its finalized because you will not get a decision until they received this as i will be considered for status under retained rights. I thought i should share this because it is important so you don't wait in vain thinking why its not happening.
if you haven't started your divorce proceedings, it might be a good idea to to so as soon as possible. Good luck guys.
I disagree with that, i have been separated alnost a year ago and have not started to divorce proceedings yet and still i got my settle status.

DID anyone applied Settled Status without EU Family member ID and Residency proof ? I know if you EEA family already applied for one then you just need application reference number but when EU citizen didn't apply yet or you are separated for her/him ?
The reason i am asking this because saw two people on this forum applied without any ID or Residency proof and home office gave them settled status
I have got the settled status as EU national and my son non EU national age 20 years have not eu family member permit today received his BRC status mentioned EU settlement scheme ILR. At the time of application they asked me upload the relationship so i had submitted the birth certificate and my settled status reference number. They did not ask me anything after submission.

Today I received an email from HO asking for my wife ID copy through email. I replied to them explaining that it is not possible for me to get the recent copy of her ID but I do have a previous scan copy of her Passport which I sent them.
after that, I received a call from HO and the person asked me that the passport is expired is it possible to arrange a valid Passport picture. and I explained to him that it is not possible for me because we are separated and she doesn't want to see me at all, I tried everything I could.
then the person said I have to consult my supervisor with this case. it can take a bit longer.
is there anyone who has a similar situation?

When I applied for Settled status I did not provide my ex-spouse ID as it's expired. Recenty he is waiting for his passport to be renewed. Instead of my ex-spouse ID I have provided receipts as confirmation that he applied for renewal.
Also on Saturday I called resolution centre as it's been two and an half months as I applied. The guy apologised for delay twice and told me that applications under retained rights are taking longer than for married couples. And I asked him if I should send my ex-spouse ID once it's renewed and he replied NO, DO NOT SEND ANY DOCUMENTS to HO untill it's requsted by caseworker. And my final question was about CoA. He confirmed that I am allowed to work while my application is under consideration.
Hope it helps.

I was in the same situation. My ex, while wanting nothing to do with me was graceful enough to send a telephone picture of her passport data page which I emailed back and within hours, they sent my settled status email.

it's almost 43 days. I called 2 weeks ago and they told me we will escalate your case . We have everything we need. Today i called again and the guy said the same thing we don't know why it's taking long. He told me he will send an email to the caseworker .
I think it's just bad luck. I heard from people who already have PR and they are waiting for more then 1 month. So you can imagine .. i think it depend on case worker. They decide which application to look at first.

Yes, HO asked me 2 things partners iD and residency proof by email
I had residency proof and i also had a picture of my partners (previous)expired passport.
Then I received a phone call, asking me to send a valid id in which i explained we are separated and its not possible for me at the moment to get the picture of her iD. Then he replied that he needs to consult his supervisor with my case and will get back to me.

I got a Call from Home office in the morning
Case worker: I was checking your cover letter where you mentioned that you have joint bank account but where is it I can't find
me: I didn't include Bank Statement that because I'm no longer living with my ex wife. We are separated from 4 years.
Case Worker : That's fine you are still legally married. I will send you an email please send documents by email
Later today I received this email .
Question : Is it ok to send 5 YEARS RESIDENCY PROOF from 2010 - 2015 only ?

Hi, sorry for not getting back was bit busy.
Got the same email on the day they sent me COA 8th April I've explained them we living separately and she do not want to help with the application so i have nothing ta prove her residency and nothing happened since then. Called resolution center few times and told them I've managed to find 3x p60s and a council tax bill covering a year and if I can post it but I was told not to post anything until they contact me again so it's 3 months now and am still waiting to hear something from them.

Anyone here who's been successful after presenting your ex spouse's Expired ID after an ID requested by the settled status team?
In my case I could present the photocopy of the expired ID card and also the EEA1 registration certificate issued when my ex applied for it about 6 years ago.
I have no idea where my lives now.

Thanks "askmeplz82". I guess in my situation, since I attached my ex spouse's registration certificate copy from the HO, it should suffice since that document was issued by the HO and my ex spouse's identity was confirmed before it was issued, though, it was 6 years ago.
It is unfortunate I could only furnish the HO my ex spouse's expired national ID copy. Its been a week since i replied to their email with those documents tho, and since then I haven't heard from them again.
