Hi Vegata - I did indeed send just a covering letter, along with 2 pics of me and my ex and a whole heap of documents to the HO. I expect the HO will not ask me to furnish my ex's passport. I have a valid resident stamp on my passport anyways. My application was returned once beforer as I didnt send...

Sorry Wanderer the last line should have been: "Am I Correct in this assumption" My apologies for the adamant tone. Hi Wanderer - I wanted to cross check this with you, my understanding is that if you are divorced from an EU spouse and if YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED AN EEA FP before, you might not need yo...

Hi Wanderer - I wanted to cross check this with you, my understanding is that if you are divorced from an EU spouse and if YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED AN EEA FP before, you might not need your ex's passport. However one would need to satisfy the HO in terms of the EEA spouse exercising rights from the ini...

I am sorry to hear that Daisy81, I think you should just send all the documents that you have with you and then send in the police reports where you have filed for harresment, that way the HO should understand that it will be difficult for you to provide any furhter documents, also if possible provi...

Hi Daisy81 - Thanks for your answer, that does sound a little relaxing, I was hoping that they dont ask me for that, I did send the HO all the docs required. Because my ex was working at the same place for the last 6 years, I just sent a letter from the employed clarifying this as I didnt have any p...

Hi I just wanted to confirm that since many people have applied for retention of rights after divorce, has the HO asked any one for the ex spouses passport even if they had provided this earlier whilst applying for the 5 year RC. Would be grateful if someone can share their experience with me. Thanks

Hi Maganzo - I have a quick question for you, can you please tell me what documents you sent to the HO to retain your rights or PR. Also did the HO ask you to furnish your EEA spouse's passport or travel document (EU ID Card). when you applied to retain you rights after divorce. Thanks for your help...

Hi Inwarsaw - No need to apologise mate, things go wrong in life...you need to be a soldier though :) Everybody on this forum try to help in their own little way...not everyone is an expert but still I feel one can learn a lot from other people's experiences. We are all here to see how we can help e...

I have been going through all the posts by inwarsaw and I would just politely want to request him not to be too vocal about his thoughts. I understand the whole democratic concept of freedom of speech but you cant just start offending people. The way inwarsaw does. I am sorry to say but just because...

Thanks Nanaaddo80 for your advice, all the best with your application

Leave the copies out and send originals of what is required.Read the case work instructions chapter 5 and you will be fine.
Thanks

Hi nanaaddo80, Sorry for the confusion, but these are all photocopies and not original RC. since my ex is from the A8 countries I thought it was important for this card to be sent (As WRC kicks in). Also do you think I should NOT send any photocopies of my ex's passport or RC. Thanks Hi bobobo, I se...

Hi, I have one more query in regard to the submission of docs to HO for retaining rights of residence. I have a copy of my ex's Passport and RC (blue card) both attested by the police. Would it make sense to send this along with the application. The downside I see is that the HO might presume that i...

Hi nanaaddo, Thanks for all the vital information. I will keep you updated on the progress of my application and would be grateful if you can keep us updated as well. Since this is still a very grey area. Thanks Hi bobobo, I submitted the ff: 1.decree absolute 2.my passport and 2 pictures 3.council ...

Hi nanaaddo80, What documents did you submit, just to give me an idea of the docs that are required.
Thanks

It will be better to resubmit your application and send them all of the documents you,ve listed that you have.If you do that, it will give you a sound and clear case.

Divoce was initiated in September 09. Hi nanaaddo80, Thanks for the information. I have my ex's letter of employment as he has been working in the same place for the last 6 years and the letter says that. I also have tenancy agreements, bank statements for both me and my ex, joint insurance document...

got married aug 06, divorced dec 09. I did not use any form just sent a covering letter along with photocopies of passports + original letters from employers for me and my ex. In the letter they just asked to me send the passport or valid ID. I am not sure if they wanted only mine or my ex's passpor...

Thanks John for the answer.

Hi, Married for 3.5 years, Divorced now, Lived in UK all this time and both of us worked for all this time in the UK. I had applied for retaining my rights after divorce with an EEA National. I informed the HO about this by sending a copy of my and my ex spouse's passport (Couldnt send original as I...

Hi, I was just wondering if the Earned Citizenship procerdure will impact the Family Members of EEA nationals wjho have retained the rights of residence. I would have completed my 5 years on an RC in December 2011. Would this mean that I will not be granted PR using the current procedure in place as...

Hi Datuchi/Jude - I saw a post from 4Real: The good thing is that the letter sent by the HO below doesnt ask for the EEA nationals Passport or ID card in case of a divorce. Datuchi was correct as they have asked for proof of co-habitation. Finally something positive.... Hi everybody, We (me & mum) h...

Hi 4Real, I just wanted to ask you when did you send the docs to the HO.You said they sent you a letter on the 30th of nov. How long did they take to respond. I am in a similar situation like you.... Thanks Hi everybody, We (me & mum) have submit all the document requested by the HO except the decre...

Hi Jude and Datuchi - Thanks for your input on the situation, to be honest I would agree with Jude, In my case I provided the HO with the EEA Nationals Passport and WRS when I applied for an RC couple of years back. In all honesty showing proof of co-habitation, EEA national working whilst the Divor...
