We married 3yr 6months ago and lived together more than 4yrs. My question is, As she recently received her british passport, any beneficial for me.

Can i apply british passport quicker?

Or what happen if our relation collapse?

We are in that situation, can be breakup anytime. What if she refuse to provide me her paper work?


Please help.. Looking forward to hear from you all...

Are you breaking up?

Acquiring British Citizenship can be problematic, although I believe the transitional provision may apply such that you will continue to be treated under EU law.

Many thanks for your reply. We are still together but we always argue a lot for such a small reason. We are planning to move so anytime we can be separated.

What if she refuse to provide her documents ?

Well you can seek divorce and try and retain your own right if your relationship has ended.

But if she's refused to provide her documents or any supportive documents, so what makes difference, as she got EEA PR(EEA 3) and british passport. Do I need to show her treaty rights?

It may well be the case that she qualified for PR over 2 years before you are due for PR , and therefore what you proposed is not likely to work.

We both want divorce

Then you may proceed if the marriage has irretrievably broken down and you may be able to retain your right of residence.
