Can you kindly clarify this for my benefit and that of the OP, if i may ask.koded wrote:Does it really matter where both of you got married. If you divorce now. that marriage may be term as "sham marriage". And Of course, UKBA, may cancel your visa/residence card and ask you to go back to Africa. So if that is ok, then you can go for divorce.
Err, because the OP met and married an EEA citizen in one month and divorced in exactly the same timelines so as to retain residency...Obie wrote:Can you kindly clarify this for my benefit and that of the OP, if i may ask.koded wrote:Does it really matter where both of you got married.

Such sweeping conclusions and statements, don't seem to find any basis in law or reality.
If you read my statement very well you should note that I used the word "May". which shouldn't be used as conclusion.Obie wrote:Can you kindly clarify this for my benefit and that of the OP, if i may ask.koded wrote:Does it really matter where both of you got married.

koded just because there is a wave of sham marriages taking place does not make mine a marriage of convienence.before i was issued RC i went for interview at liverpool with hubby and we were questioned for 4 hours by our case worker. i am only seeking divorce becuz my marriage is not working out. i am only asking for advice on how to go about it. if att d end of the the HO ask me to go back to my country, then i will go rather than staying in a marriage that is not workingkoded wrote:If you read my statement very well you should note that I used the word "May". which shouldn't be used as conclusion.Obie wrote:Can you kindly clarify this for my benefit and that of the OP, if i may ask.koded wrote:Does it really matter where both of you got married.

Having say that, it is in the eu Directive 2004/38 that marriages suspected to be that of marriage of convenience is not covered in the regulation and therefore residence card may be cancelled on proof of that.
So I am saying in their situation, it has been long time since they married and the Op didnt mention if they have a child together. And with this I think UK immigration may consider the marriage as that of convenience.
Also, because the OP mention that their marriage was performed in Africa and I said that will not be an excuse.
To arque further, the OP came to Uk based on the fact that she was married to EU national and after a short time the marriage crash. Dont you think that immigration official may want her to leave the country if the case is brought before them?
so my point is clear here.
