Re: Retaining right of residence after a divorce with an EEA

As long as you have documentation for yourself and your ex showing the SAME ADDRESS you shouild be fine. Also make sure you have proof of her working from initiation of divorce until Decree Absolute, if this is not there then you are in for trouble. Show as much paperwork as you can to ease things. ...

I get the feeling you are confusing Retaining Rights and PR. Note the following: For retaining your rights you need to prove: your eea family member was exercising rights for 3 years+ specially from divorce initiation to Decree Absolute, you were living together at least 1 yr in UK. you were working...

Re: GOT MY COA

The HO does not send a letter out when the case is assigned to a caseworker. They only send the outcome of the application. Whilst your application is in the queue the HO does initial checks on the application to see if all the docs seem to be there, this check is not a complete check. Once the file...

your PR countdown starts after the day you got married, so every day after your marriage counts towards PR (5 yrs) even if you get divorced the calculation would start from when you got married. The common mis conception is the time starts after you got your RC issued, which is NOT the case. Also pl...

The Caseworker instructions state that you would need to provide proof of eea family memeber xercising treaty rights throughout the period, if divorced then this should cover the periods from when the divorce was initiated until the decree absolute was granted. After you retain your rights of reside...

I am afraid not atleast not if you want to apply for PR following the EEA route, as you will need to prove that your sponsor was in the UK and was exercising their treaty rights. The HO would need to see proof of this. If your sponsor is not exercising their rights here then you dont have any right ...

gusola, when you apply for PR on EEA 4, you would need to prove that your ex was exercising her rights in UK, specially from the time the divorce was initiated until the decree absolute was granted. Unless you can prove this you are in for a tough time. The HO have the backing of AIT as well, whee i...

Re: IS RETENTION OF RIGHTS THE SAME AS PR or ILR

No retention of rights is your way of staying in an EU country independently i.e. you are not dependent on the EU spouse any more. You still have to apply for PR after exercising rights in the UK for 5 years. The Ret Rights helps to prove that you are independent fromn your EU spouse and when you ap...

Re: How long the ukba takes to dispatch documents?

Hey Hunpak - I think you will be fine, generally the HO ask for documents and if you fail to supply them your case is rejected, otherwise you will get the permit. I applied back in 2007 and it took the HO exactly 11 months to issue me with an RC. Mine was a similar case, they just asked me to provid...
