When in 2010 did you get married?

What has your wife been doing in the UK?

The process is pretty long, it involves divorcing first.

is it good idea to travel foreign countries in this case what do u suggest i m bit stuck.

ANd applying ROR i think it is bit of risky i don't know why because not a single person in this forum accepts that they applied Ror and got it ....

Thanks for ur time Obie

Could you please help me. I'm a bit confused.

Do I need to provide bills, bank statements for 3 years and proof of self-employment for 1 year? Or bills and bank statements also only for 1 last year?
We've been married since 2008.

Many thanks.

It's up to you.but requirement is one year bills or bank statements and treaty rights of a EEA national during this period,most importantly treaty rights during the divorce proceedings.

Given the fact that you have been married since 2008, and provided you have been living in the UK for that whole period, then you should be looking into Permanent Residence, and not Retention of Residence.

In those circumstances, you may well need to show you have both been living in the UK, and that she has been exercising treaty rights during this period.

Unfortunately we don't have insurance to cover period when she had been studying. There was EHIC card issued in her country but we didn't keep it. So not sure if I can prove it somehow.
Many thanks.

hi Ravii And Obie :few questions please

you have got the ror which your visa isn't it ??
after getting ROR do u need the eea family's any papers later?
And is it issued for another 5 yrs from date you applied ror or the remaining visa u got as residence permit will be issued??

And do u think travelling is good idea at the moment?? i have got RC till 2016 we haven't divorced yet. ?? but have got separate life ..please suggest..

After ror no need for EEA nationals paper work but you need her paper work till divorce.once applied ror you will get new RC for five years.if your EEA national is a qualified person in the uk then you can travel.

I dont quite agree with that statement.

On the basis of Regulation 15(1f) and the judgement in Amos, you will need evidence of your wife treaty rights through out yor marriage, and after your marriage, evidence of your activity to secure permanent Residence.
This is clearly emphasised in Amos.

If I can get NEW ROR for 5 years from the date i apply i might qualify for the ILR from long stay(10 yrs legal stay).
But before that i need to go back home..
i have heard they question a lot for RC holders when coming back to uk is that true? has anybody got this problem..
I am still married but not together so bit confused about it ...and i must go back home for at least a week to short out some paper works there as well ...
Well she must be working i m sure is this very important if i travel??

As long as your wife is in uk and a qualified person you have no problem to travel aboard and then come back in the uk.thats all.

Hi guys,
I am non-eea family member of French spouse. we married in 2011. We have been living in UK since that time and my spouse is exercising right of treaty in UK. I have RC. But my wife wants to continue her studies in France. Therefore she wants to go back there for next couple of years. I cant go with her because I have my studies on here. Please someone can tell me that do I have to apply for the right of retention ? keeping in mind that my wife will visit me once or twice in 6 months times depends on how much time she would have on semester break. She is working as a self employed in UK.
your replies would be highly appreciated.

thanks

Thread is locked but the advice has not changed. Basically, if your wife leaves the UK for a long period, you lose your right to live in the UK.

You can't retain your rights unless you are divorced, the EEA national dies or there is a child involved.
