REASONS FOR REFUSAL:
"Your application has been considered under regulation 21 (5) of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 16.
You have provided evidence that your sponsor was exercising treaty rights as a worker from 1st January 2008 to 7th August 2017 in the form of an employer letter and a P6O. Therefore, this department is satisfied with the evidence you have provided for your sponsor exercising treaty rights.
You have not provided adequate evidence to show that you are the former direct family member of an EEA national exercising Treaty Rights in the UK.
In support of your application you have provided a photocopy of your EEA national sponsors expired French Italian passport. In some circumstances the Secretary of State can accept alternative evidence of identity and nationality if the applicant cannot get or produce the required document due to circumstances beyond their control. However this department does not consider you to have a valid reason as to why you cannot obtain your sponsor's passport/ identity card.
As you state you are aware of where your sponsor is residing and have provided a P60 from April 2016 to 2016 and an employer letter. Therefore it is not unreasonable for this department to expect you to obtain a valid form of identity from your sponsor.
As you have failed to provide a valid identity card or passport for your EEA sponsor, the Home Office is unable to determine their identity, your application has therefore been refused.
As you have not provided evidence confirming your sponsors nationality you have not proved that you are entitled to rely on the provisions of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2016."
Please points to note:
My ex wife is not an Italian, I never submitted any Italian passport, talking less of Expired Italian passport.
I never stated any where I know where my ex resides.
I got my EEA spousal visa through successful tribunal ruling 2 years after my application i.e. 2015.
My dilemma:
Is this deliberate attempt to frustrate a genuine tax payer?
Is this an issue of mistaken identity, taking another's application as mine?
Expectations from board members:
Kindly share your experience and advice on what steps to take to remedy such refusal shall be much appreciated.
Thanks.
