Think also about what oral evidence you might be able to provide if you know that your ex is actually working. Credible witness evidence from you may also persuade a Judge that your ex was exercising treaty rights. Some people argue that oral evidence doesn't count as there is no base for UKBA to i...

I am going through this cycle very soon and waiting for an answer as well. the only difference in my case is that my ex is a pr holder. some people argue that you can apply, get rejected, appeal, get rejected, go to the court and ask the judge to summon your ex for a witness statement; or ask the ju...

yes, I recently retained my right of residence (ROR) by the help of my ex wife,so when time come for apply for Citizenship,i won't need my ex documents again who knows if she going to help me that time,the other side in case may the law change 2-3 months before 1year after the PR sticker date, so I...

you have to inform the HO and you don't qualify for retention. if you want to apply on a 10 year basis you have to legalise your next two years by studying or work permit

First, congratulations!!!!
Second, did you receive your PR now?

very good news to start a new year

everything under EEA regulations is automatic, you don't have any obligation to apply and you are legal regardless of having a residence card, PR, ROR or whatever.
so, you can apply straight for pr without the need for ror

Well, I went to Amsterdam with " my wife at that time" and we used easy jet and there was no problem. Only my passport, UK residence card and marriage certificate and nobody either easy jet, UKBA or Dutch immigration authorities asked for more.

I have the feeling that she only wants to give me tough time, maybe that's why she is talking about money ( at the moment I lost my job) as well as immigration ( as we are divorcing). she is planning to raise the financial issues to the court and I don't know how it works. what is a financial disclo...

just an update to my case, wife filed for divorce last week and we were in a bit of good terms. now, we are in bad terms and she said she will do everything possible to ruin my life ( she mentioned too many things like if i have a gun, i will kill you). she said she will write to home office and tel...

@Azhar:
How long did it take to issue the coa?

Thanks Obie. I am a bit unsecure nowadays as I have lost my full time job just today and I have to temp till I get a permanent job.
everything is happening at the same time in a negative way!

Give them a call to check the progress of your application

3. I don't understand the last question, which court will ask for Permanent residence, or working? if it is the district court you are referring to, then you don't need to worry a lot. No need to start panicking. In the end, you will find it is not worth the worry. I mean if my application is rejec...

an update, I met with wife and we downloaded the form D8 for divorce. we will send it to Edmonton court, North London. regarding retention, she is not going to provide any documents at all and she will change address during or after divorce as it is getting expensive for her to stay in the same flat...

You can apply for retention of rights and I believe you will get as long as you have the documents you mentioned and your ex is cooperative

yes

it depends o lots of factors. i.e: are you working, was your ex working, is she going to cooperate,.....etc
please provide more info so we can help

It will definitely affect your permanent residence unless you were out of the country more than six months for solid reason

Obie wrote:It looks good, but i believe it is premature to talk about retained rights without the divorce. Get the divorce first and then proceed with that

this is what I was thinking about as well

my friends, please don't scare Azhaar.
if you were issued with a residence card before, 100% you don't need his passport. if not, then you need either the original passport or a certified copy.
best of luck

This is important to OP's situation, and it is important that it is not ignored. Yes the OP qualifies for Retention, but he has a spouse who is not prepared to provide support, in order to enable him to meet the extra demand from the UKBA. In light of Amos, the UKBA will not be oblige to help him, ...

@ obie: thanks for reassuring me @ mcovet: does it mean that I will be rejected first and then I have to appeal and take ukba to court to get my retention? is there any possibility to apply and get it straight without court? @ eusimleweallsmile: i started to get to know lots of things through FRIEND...

The problem is that I can't submit her pr card, I only have photocopy and the ORIGINAL LETTER accompanying the pr. She is not going to help at all and really and truely We want to divorce as there will be no settlement on such issues. If i'm refused retention and take ukba to court, do I stand any c...

Obie, i'm worried to death!
Please explain why I don't qualify.
Shall I try work permit and quit eea route then?

[quote="Obie" I believe from reading the directive alone, your advice which i questioned earlier, seems right, however it is not correct when it come to the procedural and administrative steps required to obtain a confirmation of retained right of residence, as simply showing that the EEA ...
