Divorced with PR citizenship/visa application
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 6:23 pm
Hi all
I have a quandary over a couple of things.
First of all, I already have a PR (issued in May 2014) but we have then divorced. I do not have the paperwork to prove it yet. Divorce took place in an EU member state, but not UK.
So:
1) I need to apply for a Schengen visa (and a few more). While I doubt they'd be asking for marriage certificate/ other if I applied just as a foreigner residing in UK for a tourist visa, can I encounter problems there?
2) I am now really worried about travelling. I.e. on UK border upon return I'd always get asked "where is your EU family member" etc. What do I say now?. Very worried I'd get into "processing chambers" and be tortured and burned and what remains of me deported.
3) I am planning on applying for British citizenship, would I need to present any and all EU family member paperwork or just say "divorced" is enough?. And again, very worried that I may run into problems because I am divorced? - what might those problems be?
