Retention of a right of residence in UK following a marital breakdown & divorce is possible when:
a) the marriage has lasted for at least 3 years
and
b) the spouses or parties have lived together in the UK for at least 1 year during the marriage.

How long have you been in UK?
How long have you lived together in UK as man & wife?
Do you have the necessary documentary evidence to support your status? (ie length of marriage; married life in UK)?

These answers will help you decide the impact on a RoR application of any planned separation from your spouse.

You may be alright if a genuine relationship was formed, and a genuine marriage had lasted for 3 years, including 1 year in the UK.

I am moving this topic away for this section, as It is not suited for this forum.

Hi Obie,

Is this a new requirement from HO to call ROR applicants for Interview before issuing RC.

Where did that "together" come from? There is no such requirement.

I understand that together is not mentioned but look at it 2 partners got married to live in 2 different adresse?
I mean for HO agent is gonna look suspicious :/
IN my case we are going to live in 2 different adresses only for 5 months and obie said it should be ok hopefully :/.

Example of an application refused by HO:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... 94863.html

One of the HO's grounds for failure:
You have provided no evidence to show that you resided with your ex spouse for a year during the course of marriage.
Very hard to believe people think a right to reside in UK can be retained by a non-EEA national (& confirmed by HO) if divorcees are unable to provide any proof of any life together as a couple in UK before divorce.

See also http://www.vincentsolicitors.com/eea-di ... residence/
&
http://www.westkinassociates.com/eea-di ... ed-rights/

Clearly the more tangible the marriage before divorce the more chance the non-EEA national has of remaining in UK after divorce.

In this case OP mentions approx 2.5 years of married life together which surely strengthens his case to maintain his journey towards settled status in UK.

I found it most odd that you are basing the interpretation of the regulation and refusal on the reasons given by the Secretary of stating for refusing an application. Reasons that I have no hesitation in saying , is wholly flawed.

The poster that corrected you is perfectly spot on , in regards to the law.

I find it more odd that HO caseworkers who are charged with deciding such cases are capable of misinterpreting such points of law, (or rather, the crib sheets & briefing documents they presumably work from).

Based on the non-scientific sample represented by this forum, HO should have plenty of accumulated experience of 3 & 4years of marriage RoR cases by now.

The poster asked a question.
The poster did not nothing to assist members by posting any referential source to support his/her rhetorical question.

I responded with 3 examples of available sources.
Noone else has actually assisted the OP by posting the relevant source of law.

The point is becoming increasingly moot as OP states he has clocked up 2.5 years of married life as a couple.

Hopefully, for sake of OP's continued presence in UK, HO will not deny his status (whatever it may be) without due cause.
