Help for ROR in a complicated application

Post by ROR » Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:34 am

I am seeking help on the behalf of my friend who is non eu national applying for ROR on the basis of her marriage termination where marriage has lasted more than 3 years and they lived together in uk for nearly 2 years and 3 months.
Now the twist, during her 3 years marriage, they were separated for nearly 1 year and were not living together but reunited again after 1 year. And her eu husband exercised his treaty rights since their marriage date til divorce finalised. And during their 1 year separation, her husband told the hmrc office about their separation when he was filling form for Working tax credit but later on informed as well upon their reunion.
Now my question is:
Can my friend count that 1year separation towards 3years marriage??
please all moderators reply my friend query coz she is very worried abt it.

Thanks.

will this put any adverse affect on my friend application???
If HO confirms with HMRC and they tell HO about this separation, will HO take it in any other adverse way???

IF obie moderator is here,,,, Could you please refer any immigration tribunal case in my friend situation like as you refer cases before???
Thanks.
If you search this forum then you will find lots of same stories.

This is a straight forward case. According to the law in this country, it is only divorce that terminate marriage. The one year seperation will still count towatds the three of marriage.Therefore, what matters is whether your friend ex was exercising treaty right for at a year before the divorce proceedings started.

His wife did all of those above things, she cheated my friend now she z with new man, her behaviour is not good towards my friend and they are married for nearly 3 years and 1 months by now but with 1year separation which started from last year (3rd year of marriage).
Now my question are:
Which reason should he use where he could get divorce easily???
And on divorce certificate does it states the reason why this divorce happened?? Anyone with ROR please give your suggestions??

i would say right until decree absolute. it's doesn't have to be one year. 3-4 months enough but good if you show whole one year until your divorce date

1 yr UK

3 yrs marriage

Exercising treaty right during divorce

one month before divorce proceeding -- decree absolute date ( that's the crucial moment )

Ricardo you recently received new EEA2. I think your case was straightforward because you and your wife both doing the same eBay business, used same back account and used one eBay account

a lady in this forum got her application rejected because her husband got fired from the job only 2 days before decree absolute

1- should put the right reason/s for divorce. what slows down a divorce if one party contests it; and not what you write or states.

2- and no. Decree absolute does not state reason/s for divorce.

Hi askmeplz82

I was dying to get a clear answer but nobody was able to answer that include a solicitor. When a ROR is to be submitted the requirement are 3 years marriage, and one year living together in UK, and crucial part at the time of divorce Eu national must be exercising treaty rights; having said that:
Can you please explain as plain as possible the time or period needed to be proved that EU partner was exercising the treaty rights. Just documents of exercising the treaty rights from the initiating of divorce up until the absolute OR 1 year back from absolute date And please reference your claims if you can

if it is just from initiating date to absolute date then why do they ask for one year living in UK

For ROR,
If you proof that the EEA national is a qualified person within the one month before the decree absolute then it's minimum enough for another RC.

Problem is this you are asking any reference??

If you search this forum back to last 10 months then I believe you will get the reference..

You will also get the court references as well about my words which I wrote for you.

If she is not working ask her to register for Job seeker allowance or start working.

if you read this forum you will find many cases where EEA national worked 4 yrs 5 months but didn't work during divorce period and Application for ROR or EEA4 rejected.

Just imagine you are applying for new EEA2.

for example : if decree absolute date was Aug 20, 2013. EEA national should be exercising treaty right that time.

I get this that at time of divorce (I assume time between divorce initiating and absolute) Non EU has to show treaty rights of EU national. But some other forum claims that you need to show ONE year (as it says in the regulation One year residence together with qualified Eu national)

One year residence in the UK ( never mentioned together but it's good or else Home office may think it was marriage of convenience. I mean it's normal for any couple to live together after marriage

- 1 year residence in the UK ( many submit proof after marriage )

- 3 years marriage

- Evidence that EEA national was exercising treaty right during divorce proceeding ( until decree absolute )

so, basically there many cases where couple separated and living in different address 5/6 months after marriage ... people get their application refused not because they are not living under same roof but because EEA not exercising treaty right on the right time

@XABI, you don't need moderators or guru for this. Like other members has said, your EEA spouse needs to be exercising treaty right at the initiation of divorce through to the decree absolute. What the HO are interested in is documents proving the treaty right not if it was 5 months to initiation.

Hi guys
I called ukba today and asked about ror application as we discussed that eu national exercising treaty right during divorce from initiating to absolute.

I was shockingly told by ukba adviser that it should be one year evidence of treaties up until absolute and when I asked that it doesn't say anywhere that it should be one year and officer replied as;
it is logical, one year living together in uk with qualified EU partner so the word QUALIFIED means person should be exercising treaties one year means the time should be covered.
