Hi All, I have a question regarding the EEA4 application for PR and was wondering if you could please advice me on what to do.

I am a divorcee, me and my ex spouse divorced after 4 years of marriage. I have confirmation of retaining my rights after the divorce with my spouse and it is now time for me to apply for PR. I have a few questions regarding this:
1. Section 3 of the form asks for details of my ex spouse. I know some information but dont know the address of if they work at the same place. Do i leave this section blank or just enter the information I know. I was thinking of attaching a covering letter saying I hvae already retained my rights and have a new sticker on my passport to confirm this.
2. Also my spouse has been working since 2003 in the UK and I have a letter from their employer confirming this. the letter is dated december 2009 and it says that they were working there since 2003. I also have some pay slips that cover the period of the divorce. Would this be sufficient to prove that they were exercising treaty rights in the UK. it already covers > 5years employment.
3. Also I am not sure if they still work there so what should i do in section 4 do i put an end date or just leave the end date blank.

I have loads of documents that prove we were living togethor for more that 3 years. i will send this information to them as well.

Please let me know what your thoughts are.
thanks for everyones help in advance.

Hi All, sorry to pest you, but can the gurus please help me out. I need to fill out the form and send the application out asap.

thanks for your advice and help. I am aware that people are not always around to answer questions and that this is not their main priority. I apologise for being pushy.

I am due to apply for PR in July, after retaining my rights following divorce, my plan is:

1. I will write covering letter explaining the situation, clearly stating the dates of marriage, divorce, and exercising treaty rights by my ex + letter from HO confirming that I’ve retained my rights with a new 5 year permit in my ppt. In section where it asks for my ex employment information I will provide details of her employers for the time we’ve been married.
2. Letters from my ex employers will be provided with an application form. They shouldn’t ask them at all as I think they’ve checked that when I applied to confirm my residency after divorce (it says on the letter from them that I am no longer dependant on my ex)
3. I would put start date of employment – and leave the end date blank.
4. You do not have to provide the documents proving your cohabitation as they’ve checked this when you applied for your confirmation of retention of residency rights. But to be on a safe side you can send them with your application. I’m not sure whether I will provide this or not with my application.

Hi Sleeper can you please keep us posted on what happens with your application and what docs you end up sending please

Hi

the poster of this thread below had their PR rejected and is going to appeal, but they do not seem to know about retained rights after divorce.

As youse are in a similar situation, perhaps you can read the posts and give confirmation about retained rights and give each other support?

Thanks for this. But my case is different, I have a letter from employer stating that my ex spouse was working there for >5 years. I also have payslips 1 month before initiation of the divorce up until 1 month after the decree aboslute so i am covered there

This case law is initally about residence card revocation, but the bottom half discusses retention of rights and the evidence required to prove permanent residence has been acquired.

Maybe it will be of interest to you?
