I think you should provide as many documents as you can, just send them anything you can get your hands on. The more the better. If your ex was a students they can ask for a private medical insurance like in the case below, as apparantly if you are self-sufficient you can't use NHS service. That is ...

I don't know if they will reply or not, and if you call HO you don't know where your call is redirected, could be India. You dial either general enquiry line, or the line for European enquiries. In both centers they told me the same. Maybe they have changed the law by now. Anyway, if they write to m...

Update regarding retention of rights after divorce with EEA spouse: Just spoke to home office call center, told them I divorced, informed HO of my divorce 5 months ago, still no reply, I was going to send all my documents to prove that marriage lasted for over 3 years, I am in employment and ex was ...

Did they ask you to provide documents of your ex excercising treaty rights?

Jude,

Could you tell us more about your situation? Gid you get certificate of aproval yet? Are you getting married in the UK? Did they ask you to prove that you ex was in the uk excerising treaty rights?

Hi everybody, Actually I am still waiting for HO reply. It's been 3 months since I informed them of my divorce by a normal letter sent to their address in Liverpool, as I was told by HO customer service advisor on the phone. The thing is I maybe they will ignore my letter and I am waiting in vain???...

Hi,

I think in your situation if there is a date on that letter, which, I think should be there, it's fine, it means that your ex was employed there since May up to the date of that letter, but if I were you, I would ask your ex for payslips as well to be on the safe side.

Good luck!!!

Hi Morpheo, Thanks for keeping us updated. I think they don't need documents about your ex. They already asked for that when you applied for retention of rights. So they gave you this response, I believe, as if you didn't apply for retention. If they issued you with this 5 year new visa, then you ca...

Hi everybody. last update. As I said, I sent a letter informing HO of my divorce. One month later they sent a Certificate of Application, a standard one, like they sent to me when I applied for RC on EEA2 form. In that CoA they ask not to make any travel plans until my passport is returned...I actul...

Hi all, I informed HO, 2 weeks ago, now wait for their reply. Obviously, they will ask for routine documents from me, as they did with other mombers of these forum. My fear is they might go back to me in 7 months or more, like in case with Morpheo. There is nothing I can do about it. What annoys me ...

Hi,

It's been more than 3 years and 2 of those in the uk. I have some proof of him excercising treaty rights, but not sure it would be enough.

We have been married for over three years and 2 of those in the uk. I just divorced.

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if I should inform HO about my divorce with EEA husband or I should wait till my current RC expires? (decree absolute has been issued in fabruary)

Thank you

Thank you very much for your advice.
I will think about something.

Hi!!! We contacted HO, and they said I could apply on the grounds of 2 years cohabitation with my British boyfriend. We satisfy all criteria of finance and accomodation. As well we have proof of living together.BUT!! They said it's totally discretion of a senior caseworker as I violated EU law by li...

Hi,

Did you prove that you have where to live and your partner has enough funds to support you in the UK?

Is he a British citizen?

I am facing the same problem soon.

Hi everybody, I have a question if anyone knows, if that could work out. I just divorced my official EU husband (I hold 5 year residence card) but infact I lived together with another person for 2 years, my ex was in the UK all this time. (officially we were married for over 3 years) I want to avoid...

Thank you very much for your advice, but I spoke to HO and they said that I will be rejected CoA, if I don't apply for retention of rights and submit all necessary documents. As they said, in the eyes of HO I am still married to my EU husband, hence can't stay legally here, hence apply for CoA. So t...

Thanks a lot for your advice. Tell me if you applied for this CoA yourself and how it was. My fear is that if I apply for CoA they might come back to me with the fact that I didn't inform HO that I got divorced when divorce took place. I didn't inform them yet, don't know if I should. Don't want to ...

thank you for your reply, I just think they wouldn't give me this certificate of approval, coz I need to proove my new relationship, and they might suspect it's a marriage of convenience, as I recently divorced. I don't know. I think ho will need to see my divorce certificate and proove of our marri...

Hi everybody!! Does anyone know if I divorce my spouse (EEA) and qualify for retention of rights according to all these rules that we all talk about, if I want to get married with my partner who is a British national, if I would be able to do it in the UK and then apply for 2 years spouse visa while...

Hi!! Did your ex apply for registration certificate when you applied for your 5 year card, I mean using this EEA1 form? from this forum and other people experiences I know that they don't ask for passport of ex, if they applied for registration certificate (so they kind of know that they are EU nati...

Thanks a lot, guys, for your advise and information. It's good that it seems possible to travel. I actually am going to apply for schengen visa at the French Embassy soon. They sent me an e-mail that all I need to do is submit a Dectree Absolute with usual accompanying documents. I think I will appl...

I can't believe that!!!! It's the same thing as what happened to Morpheo. Is it to much to ask just a letter reflecting the retention of rights. Anyway, thank you very much for keeping us all updated. Somehow I suspected that outcome, still you can apply for any visa without your spouse's passport. ...

Hi everybody, Today I received a letter from HO in Croydon replying to my query regarding if I should apply for a new residence card in my own name or apply for pr after my current one expires in 2012. (I sent a letter 2 months ago by the way, which is ok according to ho standards) Not surprisingly ...
