10.5 years in UK with 2 years on EEA but separated from wife

[saurabhupare]

Hi all

Need some advice and help
I have been in UK for 10.5 years (Since March 2006)
6 years as student
2 years on PSW
2.5 years with EU (Portugese) partner
We have only separated this month and not yet applied for a Divorce but in a minimal touch
I have only received my EEA this month a day after she left the house (they have only recently checked all our documents and returned it on 10th Nov 2016)

I have read the discretion rule for ILR but only have her salary sleeps until April 2015 and few copies of her work Rota, not sure if she will help me with her payslips as I returned them to her and had to.

I also prefer to do it on own if there is a way without her help.

Any advice, which way I can extend my stay here?

Any help will be welcomed, being very stressed with this.

Thank you in advance

Are you married?

This looks like a complex matter.

You have her payslip until April 2015, but you were only issued a Residence card? what document did you use to apply, as surely Home Office will not 19 months to issue you with residency.

Thank you for your response.

Yes we are still married on paper ( since 21st Oct 2014). My initial application returned in June but without passport, we had to go through several complaint procedures, Ombudsman and local MP enquiries & Citizens advice Immigration advisors to find out I had to get a new Passport and then again make another EEA application (as they do not transfer EEA permits) which I did this year in May 2016 and received a response this month.

This has created immense stress for both us and on our relationship.

If she cease from exercising treaty right, I hope you are aware that this may result in a break in your continuity of residence.
