Hi,

Did you prove that you have where to live and your partner has enough funds to support you in the UK?

Is he a British citizen?

I am facing the same problem soon.

Hi everybody, I have a question if anyone knows, if that could work out. I just divorced my official EU husband (I hold 5 year residence card) but infact I lived together with another person for 2 years, my ex was in the UK all this time. (officially we were married for over 3 years) I want to avoid...

Thank you very much for your advice, but I spoke to HO and they said that I will be rejected CoA, if I don't apply for retention of rights and submit all necessary documents. As they said, in the eyes of HO I am still married to my EU husband, hence can't stay legally here, hence apply for CoA. So t...

Thanks a lot for your advice. Tell me if you applied for this CoA yourself and how it was. My fear is that if I apply for CoA they might come back to me with the fact that I didn't inform HO that I got divorced when divorce took place. I didn't inform them yet, don't know if I should. Don't want to ...

thank you for your reply, I just think they wouldn't give me this certificate of approval, coz I need to proove my new relationship, and they might suspect it's a marriage of convenience, as I recently divorced. I don't know. I think ho will need to see my divorce certificate and proove of our marri...

Hi everybody!! Does anyone know if I divorce my spouse (EEA) and qualify for retention of rights according to all these rules that we all talk about, if I want to get married with my partner who is a British national, if I would be able to do it in the UK and then apply for 2 years spouse visa while...

Hi!! Did your ex apply for registration certificate when you applied for your 5 year card, I mean using this EEA1 form? from this forum and other people experiences I know that they don't ask for passport of ex, if they applied for registration certificate (so they kind of know that they are EU nati...

Thanks a lot, guys, for your advise and information. It's good that it seems possible to travel. I actually am going to apply for schengen visa at the French Embassy soon. They sent me an e-mail that all I need to do is submit a Dectree Absolute with usual accompanying documents. I think I will appl...

I can't believe that!!!! It's the same thing as what happened to Morpheo. Is it to much to ask just a letter reflecting the retention of rights. Anyway, thank you very much for keeping us all updated. Somehow I suspected that outcome, still you can apply for any visa without your spouse's passport. ...

Hi everybody, Today I received a letter from HO in Croydon replying to my query regarding if I should apply for a new residence card in my own name or apply for pr after my current one expires in 2012. (I sent a letter 2 months ago by the way, which is ok according to ho standards) Not surprisingly ...

Hi everybody!! I am an non EEA national and my husband is a EEA national. Like many of you I know that I qualify for retention of rights after divorce if it's been more than 3 years and I am in employment and he was excercising his Rights in the UK. I just want to know if anybody got this RETENTION ...

It depends on the country you are going to visit. I think you should contact the Embassy. In some countries if you travel with you spouse you don't need a visa if they accompany you.

Hi guys!! It's cool that you share your problems with HO on this site!! It makes us understand them better and what to expect from them. My situation is very similar to those already posted here - retention of rights following divorce my EEA husband. I am a non EU member. We have been together for t...
