RETAINING RESIDENCE CARD ADVICE

Post by austin100 » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:04 pm

Hello Everyone,
The forum is very informative.

I have a few question which I will like to ask.

I have been living legally in this country since May 2004 . on the 14th july 2007, I got Married to my Wife who is an EEA ( Swedish national) .
I was Issued with a Residence card in July 2009 which will expire in July 2014. I got the decree Absolute on the 13th of March 2012 that the marriage has been dissolved.

1 How do I go about retaining my residence card

2 My wife has been in and out of work for that period of our marriage has i could bearley provide all this period. And We lived mostly for two years of the marriage. Has i could provide bills ,tenancy agreement for 1 year period which I believe that is what is needed for the proof
out of the 3 years of the marriage.

3. I have been working since I have been in the country and i have all the proof.

4Should I wait till the RC expires before I apply for anything i.e or I
appply for PR based on a 10years lawfully residing in country in may 2014. Under the Immigration law

5. I am still in good communition with my ex-wife at the moment

6 Do my Ex-wife is considered in this matter before I can retain my residence card. As I assume that , if the marriage lasted for 3 years and one year was spent in uk showing the period is all that is needed. Even though I can not provide all her working for the years. What if I can provide for within one year before tha divorce
I will like to have your Opinion or Idea regarding this case . Thanks[/b]
