PR Refused and first tribunal unsuccessfull

[helix1]

Hi all,

my pr application refused cos of my partner's 17 month absence in uk, we married more than 5 years, then applied for first tribunal but again unsuccessfull, me and my partner still working and living in uk,, what should i do?

No wonder that you lost, I'm afraid appealing was futile. You simply cannot get PR with a 17 month absence. The most that can be allowed is a single 12 month absence in only exceptional circumstances but normally neither you nor your partner can be absent for more than 6 months per year. There is nothing you can do except apply again 5 years from the date that your partner arrived back in the UK.

As the previous poster had said, it is unlikely that you would have qualified, what was the reason for your wife's absence?

Can I apply for another 5 years on my own independently?

No you can not. You are a family member of an EU national still

She left to country for family issues, if I get divorce can't I apply for my own?

[dalebutt]

You would not qualify in any event if you were to divorce. You need to start counting from when she started exercising treaty rights again till when another 5 years has been completed. The tribunal decision appears correct.
