Hi everyone Finally after 3 months and 2 weeks I have received the CoA and now I'm planning for the wedding. It was such a relief and now I have more positive things to look forward to. After we get married I'll apply for a residency card. All the best to those who are applying or about to apply for...
Hi Directive/2004/38/EC first thought that came to my mind before I decide to apply for CoA is try to apply for retention right of residence, at that time I'm already in a relationship with my fiance and he wants to marry me as soon as the divorce finalized, now Directive/2004/38/EC I don't apply fo...

Juv, Certificate of Approval has no link at all with your ex, but it has link with your present partner. So HO wouldn't ask for ex's details when you apply for COA. Hi Interesting, I am in almost the same situation as Juv... But HO has asked me for some information (employment at initiation of divo...
Hi isceon! Thanks again for your reply, I think that's a problem cause since we separated in may 2006 he left the country in november same year, so before we divorced he 's actually not in the country at all only comes back from time to time to visit his family or works during the summer. In this ca...
