Hi ,all
Its been nearly three(3) weeks since i notified the ukba of my divorce.I have checked and been confirmed by an electronic prove of delivery as i mailed using special delivery..............Why can't they bother to send atleast an acknowledgement(COA) immediately they receive important documents from the public.The whole system needs overhauling.

UPDATE........
I have today recived from the UKBA a CERTIFICATE OF APPLICATION dated 26/01/2010.This means that it took them three(3) weeks to reply to me notifying them of my Divorce.
Now, the COA Reads..

Hi Plum70,
Thanks for the clarification.I was abit worried though.

I received exactly the same letter from them, and that was it. They never got back to me. I infomed them of my divorce by a letter, so I presume, they want me to apply when my RC expires, maybe in you case they will do the same.

Just wanted to share my experience.

Hi Irakra,
I sent more than just a letter to them........Rather all relevant documents laid therein in the directive.Anyway, when is your RC expiring?. I wonder why my home office reference number has /2 now.Any ideas as to what it means.
Thanks

It expires in 2012. But I don't want to wait for another 2 and a half years in limbo. You might go mental if you live all this time constantly thinking if you will stay or go home. So I want to get married to my british partner apply for COA. and then a spousal visa. Thats my plan, just want to get it over with. We go to croydon in two weeks and gonna talk to those "advisors" at the customer service. I'll let you know that they gonna tell me, anyway my suspition is they dont know, as always.

Hi,
I have a quick question. Does any one know the HO office will accept divorce papers signed by ex as prove of treaty rights during divorce proceedings? Because it also shows the address of residence by ex during that time.
I have a letter from the courts and a copy of the petition my ex signed from the court. All my documents are intact except prove of treaty rights by ex during divorce proceedings as he is not willing to cooperate and I have explained to the HO there is no cooperation from ex.
Thanks

Hi Maamiejoe,
Probably it will be better if you could start by telling us when you got married,when you initiated divorce,when you got decree absolute and if your ex has worked throughout your marriage before divorce.I am sure once you do this you will get good advice by couple of gurus on the forum
Thanks

maamiejoe · Post by **maamiejoe** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:20 pm

Well, I got married in january 2004.
Recieved RC March 2004
Divorce started august 2008
Absolute recieved in January 2009
Applied for PR March 2009 (with divorce certificate, proves of cohabitation for 3 years, proves of ex treaty right to june 08, evidence of mine till date
December January 2010 HO request for documents showing ex exercising treaty during divorce proceedings.
I have submitted court letters signed by ex to show he was in the uk since there is no cooperation from him.
Will these be accepted by HO as prove of treaty rights during divorce?

nanaaddo80 · Post by **nanaaddo80** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:33 pm

Hi Maamiejoe,
The whole esscence of the HO is to establish excersing of treaty rights by your ex during divorce.The regulations says prior to initiation of divorce which means you should be able to atleast give evidence until decree nisi was pronounced.I have sent you a private message, check it
Thanks

maamiejoe · Post by **maamiejoe** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:38 pm

Thanks I will check.

Just because EU national was present in the UK doesn't mean s/he exersiced Treaty Rights.

irakra, have you received a reply?

i am going to send them a letter with the copy of the documents i need asking them how to proceed, will not send my passport and i won't fill out the application just yet. My visa expires in 2012 like yourself and i'd really like to sort this out as soon as possible, but i will be travelling a few times this year, so i don't want to send my passport until it's really needed.

irakra · Post by **irakra** » Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:25 pm

Hi,
I have never heard from HO! So if you need to travel do that first, then inform them. Still there is a chance of them asking you to send them all the originals. They told me on the phone to wait till my visa expires. That's all I know. But I understand you. Travel is pretty unpleasant coz at the airport they can ask you about your ex. Or even ask for his phone to call him. Anyway good luck with your retention of rights.

regards

Is this thread the one for those non-EEA guys who married EEA wives and after 4-5 years, are now in the process of divorcing ?

inwarsaw what problem have you got with people that divorce their spouse not every marriage lasts forever and stop jugding people ok.
If you have got no advice to give just say nothing rather than judging people.
