One does not qualify for PR, one acquired PR automatically, by force of law.

So, if you believe that you have the documentary proof of having acquired PR, apply for a PR card straightaway.

As I understand it, Vinny's advice can be summed up as "You may have PR, but may not qualify for RoR". Please correct my summary if incorrect, Vinny.

In order to acquire PR, it is not sufficient to just be resident in the UK, but to exercise specified treaty rights for five continuous years. Which treaty rights was your ex-partner exercising for five years?
Was she
a) Working
b) Seeking work
c) Student (requires either a non-UK EHIC card or private health insurance for both of you to qualify)
d) Self-sufficient (requires private health insurance for both of you to qualify)

And has your ex-partner got a PR card? If she has, you can use the same proof for your PR card.

In order to get a PR card, you will need evidence from your ex-partner. For your sake and for the sake of the child, I would strongly suggest remaining on friendly terms with her, even if you break up.

I think where there is infedelity there can be no turning back.

I think Vinny is correct . You cannot retain a right of residence if you have right of Permanent Residence under Regulation 15 (1)(b)

But wouldnt it be a problem if they find out that he doesnt live anymore with his ex-partner in case he applied for PR ?

Thanks for the replys guys...

Yes I would like to be friends with her for the sake of my child if I have to be and it's good for our daughter but she is blackmailing me if i don't patch up and accept her apology she would not allow me to see the child. And everything else I mentioned in previous posts this is something if I allow now It will be something I would need to deal with in the future...

More importantly I think she did what she did thinking I will stick around anyway because of the child and papers I don't know what was going on in her head I sacrificed a lot in my life for us as a family and I'm hurt and broken in two...
one thing is for sure I'm not going to ask for her help what I have on me hope and pray to god that will gets me the pr! So please tell me what documents do I need ??

I have 5 years p60 of her
Copy of her pr
5 years tenenecy agreement
5 years of my proof of address and her
What else would I need and how what do I apply ??

All responses are appreciated guys.

Apparently there is no requirement for cohabitation in such cases.

EEA case law and appeals wrote:Diatta (C-267/83)
In the case of Diatta, the ECJ stated that a direct family member who does not live in the same household as the EEA national, is still considered to be a family member as defined in regulation 7 of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 (the Regulations).
This applies for as long as:
 they stay related to the EEA national
 the EEA national continues to exercise treaty rights in the same member state
For example, if an EEA national is working in the UK and separates from their spouse but does not get a divorce, the spouse will continue to be treated as a family member for as long as:
 they remain married
 the EEA national continues to exercise treaty rights in the UK or resides in the UK with a right of permanent residence
If they later get a divorce the spouse will only have a right to live in the UK if they satisfy the conditions of regulation 10 of the regulations relating to retained rights.

For guidance on assessing applications from direct family members, see related link.

Thanks for the reply vinny

Does this means I have a case that can be successful or is it a discretion of UKBA on individual cases!

If I have a case what form should I be filling and what documents should I have to support my application.

If you are on better terms with your wife, then can you get these documents?

Else, hopefully, they will have records of your wife's confirmation of PR. You may confirm that she hasn't been absent from the UK for over two years since then. You should also confirm that you haven't been absent from the UK for over six months during your five years as an EEA family member, etc.

They should also note Barnett and others (EEA Regulations: rights and documentation) Jamaica [2012] UKUT 142 (IAC) (14 May 2012) in relation to her passport or ID.

Yes I can get this documents. Problem is she is thinking I will accept her behaviour because I have a child with her and I need to apply for my papers! And I want to prove her wrong that I'm here for my child and I don't need her for my papers! And that I loved my family her me and our girl!

She said to a mutual friend that she is sorry and regrets and if I don't come back she will not allow me to see the child and not help me with papers! I fell humiliated when she said this.

Yes they have her pr record as it's been over 10 months she had it so she has not been outside the uk for that I don't think i need to prove anything... And in my 5 years residence I haven't been outside for more then 6 months. I have letters from gp tenenecy agreement and p60 so that's enough I guess ? Also is it 6 months in 5 years or 6 months in a year? Is it different for Non- EEA ?

The HO has procedures in place for when applicants are unable to submit all documentary evidence (for example due to estrangemnt or divorce).

For example, see https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... s_v2_0.pdf
= page 31+

See also:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... nts_v1.pdf
Sponsor's status at relevant date
Note
If you find it difficult to provide all of the relevant evidence because your sponsor has died or left the UK, or you’re no longer able to contact them, please provide as much information about them and evidence as you can
