I am posting on behalf of a friend of mine, who is a non-EU citizen. She has been married since December 2005.
Her husband, also non-EU, has a work permit which he got from his job as a social worker. She joined him in the UK in January 2007 and obtained a dependent visa - her passport states her visa type as "VISA STUDENT DEPENDANT" and at the bottom of the visa is handwritten "to join: (husband's name)".
The husband recently renewed the visa and she has a Residence Permit valid from February 2008 until Feb 2013. However, the husband has become abusive and eventually threw her out of his house. She managed to find somewhere else to live with friends, however he has been stalking her and has once forced his way into her house, refusing to leave until police arrived. He has also been sending threatening text messages about suicide, etc. which have also been reported to the police.
She now has two separate incident numbers for this behaviour and the police have offered to visit him and request he keeps his distance, however he is now threatening to ring the Home Office and tell them they are separated, saying that if he does so she will be deported.
Can anyone advise if this man is telling the truth, and if so does his behaviour (i.e. he threw her out of his house) change the circumstances of the separation at all?
Please help, she is desperate and very stressed out by this!
