Hello any advice, ps help

We provide advice for free. We also do work and have families.

When someone is available online who can answer your question, since your 1st post 30 minutes ago, I am sure you will get a response.

If you need an immediate answer, there are many OISC advisors who can help you at a fee.

ROR can only be applied once the divorce is finalized along with the treaty rights evidences of EU national partner. Since the treaty rights cannot be exercised from abroad while the divorce can proceed even either of partner is not in UK. Therefore, as you your EU national partner is returning in August, so better to wait until he comes back. Until he returns back your right of residence won't be affected because his absence is within the limit of 6 months.

Thank you for your replay, but what if he doesnt comeback on aug. 30, but we still contact each other can I still apply for divorce even he is out of the country...thank you for your reply

Ok, so that means my only chance is to pray and wwait for him to come back in uk on aug. 30, even I file a divorce, as he is abroad no exercising treaty rights it would still be impossible to get ror...,

Thank you for your reply,

Please bear in mind that when he returns, he would need to be exercising treaty rights from beginning of divorce procedure till decree absolute for you to securd ROR.

Yes thank you very much. May God be with me!
