Guerro wrote:Hello and happy new year to everyone,
I have retained rights acquired after divorce and now I am eligible to apply for PR as it is 5 years in the UK. My question is: shall I put all papers for 5 years (marriage+divorce+mutual cohabitation+work) or work papers after retained rights+retained rights endorsement and letter (as it is quite simple that being issued with retained rights means I was qualified at the time)?
Final question, is British citizenship one year from the date I acquired PR or one year from the date PR was issued?
Thanks

If your wife holds PR card you need a photocopy of it and the letter accompanying it and that would make things much easier. If she qualifies for PR but not issued with one you need to show evidence she was exercising treaty rights till divorce so obviously you need her help

But you can send all the documents you've got and write a cover letter highlighting this ( your EX-EEA family member already BC )
You can also apply for BC without PR like your EX. PR is just confirmation it's not compulsory like ILR
Guerro wrote:I think it is understood when someone is issued with BC that they already hold PR status. All you can do, same like myself 2 years ago, is just apply with all papers you have and write a bullet point letter short and to the point explaining your situation. It is hard when ex is not helping

i will advise you to EEA4 for PR application first because it's cost £55 only but naturalisation is expensive

5 years after marriage if you married in the UK
5 years after landing in the UK as EEA family member. it really doesn't matter how many years you married if you been living outside UK
so your case 2015
You living together is not important here but as you said she is BC already you need to send some documentation to prove it. UKBA may try to play with you if you don't have everything but you are on safe side because she is BC
