The Episcopalian bishop who converted is now the Ordinary Emeritus. A celibate bishop was appointed to lead the North American Ordinariate. I believe a married priest still leads the UK Ordinariate.
 
Yeah but that was not only personal conversion of Bishop but also laity, in which case it makes sense to let them keep their office.

I don’t think a deacon/priest/bishop convert would be assigned to lead a parish or diocese until some time (year? or years?) has passed. My guess is that their responsibilities will increase over time just as with lay converts not being elected to the parish or financial council the day after their conversion.

Yeah I guess so too.

When the Traditional Anglican Communion was thinking about joining the RCC, they did not want to join the Anglican Ordinariate, but wanted to be treated as a sui juris church, so they could enter with their hierarchy intact.

The RCC said no way, the sticking point being that TAC wanted to retain married bishops.

Since then, the leadership of the TAC has changed and they are no longer interested in joining.
 
Ordained men who convert have become priests who were formerly Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodists, as well as various Anglicans:

I Am a Married Catholic Priest

Pope Francis made headlines recently by suggesting a new openness to married priests, but this married priest sees some potential problems with the idea.

For the non-Anglicans, it is literally done on a case by case basis through the CDF. These men and their families serve average Latin Rite Parishes in Dioceses across our nation.
