I dont know of any good immigration solicitors locally (Manchester are), and the ones i have spoken to know very little or almost nothing about EEA laws....

Do you have any recommendation?

She resided in the UK during the marriage and exercised her treaty rights... she would only visit Sweden for a week or as far as I know, according to the law she is permitted to do so. She started job in 2008, worked for three months. She started divorce proceedings when she left me for a 'holiday' ...

I have evidence that she was working with P60 and wage slips and letters from employers. These were all under her NI number so she was paying her taxes. Obviously there was a gap in her employment history when she would return to Sweden for her education purposes... Most of the pictures i had i have...

it was NOT only defined reasons from UKBA. they also objected, Also they said that my ex wife was not exercising her treaty rights at the date of the divorce.... which I cant understand, LAW is require couple to live at least one year out of three in UK and non-EU spouse is pursing economic activiti...

The UKBA said 'You have provided a photocopy of the original Swedish document. This cannot be relied upon as evidence that you are divorced as claimed' I sent them the original PLUS an english translation and it was an official translation which was sent with the original documents. It is obvious it...

Do they say why the application was rejected? UKBA wrote me that, my Certificate of divorce was not original- They thought I sent them only photocopies- Its not True I actually send them original Certificate of Divorce with english translation because it was in swedish. Also they said that my ex wi...

We would need to know if the divorce was done under UK law or not.

sorry I forget to reply that my wife initiated divorce OUTSIDE uk and it took a while before court grant her divorce in her domicile country but they sent me a copy of “Certificate of divorceâ€

Hi Mcovet. Very interesting answers. I have few things to mention here 1) as you wrote that, UKBA will try to refuse applications where the disgruntled EEA national just leaves the UK and the couple have not completed the 3 years of marriage (including 1 in the UK) required. Our marriage lost over t...

Unfortunately your solicitor is correct. To retain rights of residence the Marriage should have lasted for > 3years, 1 year in the UK, The EEA spouse should be exercising treaty rigths in the UK throughout the period especially from divorce initiation until grant of decree absolute. If during this ...

Hi guys, I'm a eu spouse, I got married with an eu resident in the uk, 2005. I lived and worked in uk through out. after three years of our marrage, my ex wife left uk and she initiated divorce from other eu country. Now my solicitor told me that since your wife initiated divorce from OUTSIDE uk AND...

You can read that EU treaty rules are very clear Article 13.2(a) of the EU Directive that came into force on 30.04.06 reads :- prior to initiation of the divorce or annulment proceedings or termination of the registered partnership referred to in point 2(b) of Article 2, the marriage or registered p...

Yes EU treaty give you right to remain and work in UK but you have to wait to get PR resident before you get marry with non-eu spouse anywhere in the world

My marriage last over three years, I worked throughout, my wife worked for few months, then she turned to a housewife/self sufficient person and kept visiting other EU country for studies purpose. Both of us were actively engaged with relationship but it is really hard to get documentary proof which...

As long as your marriage last over three years and your stayed in UK over the prerod of one year, you qualify for PR in uk. But you need to find right solicitor who has right information about EU treaty and can fight your case with HO.

I wish you best wishes

Afterward she stayed as a housewife in UK but kept visiting uni in Sweden. 2) I kept working throughout and both of us never applied any state benefit 3) we dont h...

She initiated divorce after three years of our marriage registration date. UKBA never ask for Medical Insurance at 2005 and why would they require me to provide my wife's Medical Insurance after divorce? She was a housewife, She worked only for few months in 2005 (I got her wage slips) then she did ...

Question is what is definition of EU Treaty Rights? We were both together here in UK in September but in October she went back to Sweden and sent divorce papers to me. As an EU national she had right to move, study and travel anywhere in EU.

If your wife is saying she never lived with you in the UK or was exercising treaty in the period leading up to the initiation of the divorce, that could be a bit tricky. I think my divorce is already done. Just few days ago I received few papers in Swedish language but I am not sure what they are a...

I got a problem here. My wife went back to Sweden and sent me divorce, but I was not willing to give her divorce. Our marriage last over three years and I’m non EU spouse. She used to study in Sweden even after our marriage. Now she used her university documents in Swedish court saying that she ne...
