retain of my status

[monark33]

Hello everyone,
I am seeking for advice regarding retaining my status. I am NON EU person married to an EU person for more than 4 years. I have been given EEA-Family member status by UKBA and it’s due to expire next year. Unfortunately me and my wife decided to move on with their life in different direction, she wants to move back to her country which is not possible for me as I have mortgage and other difficulties. After lots of argument we came to a decision to get divorce. By the time I got my family member status she has been working full time but last three she started going to university full time and start doing part time job. In my misery my wife is not willing to help me at all under any circumstances. How can I retain my status? Can you guys please show me a way! I am really looking forward for your reply.
Thank you

How long have you been in the UK for?

Have you got evidence of her current activities?

Do you intend on proceeding with divorce?

When exactly did you and your wife got married and started living together as man and wife in the UK.

Do you have evidence covering all this period?

Divorce is quite a massive step, but if you believe the marriage has broken down irretriveably, then you can proceed with it.

Would you wife be prepared to support an application for PR come this Summer?

Would she be able to supply you with evidence of her activities since 2006/7? For example P60. For the period you claim she was self sufficient, do you have a comprehensive sickness insurance?

dear Obie,

she is not willing to help me in any way. i can only request for her part time job payslips and the period of time she was in university and she dont have any sickness insurance. she is the person who is initiative about divorcing me.
can u please tell me what should i do in this position?
also is it possible for me to travel europe without her,, as my best mate getting married next month in spain, i am so confused i don't know how to approach to my recent situation..
please help

You can travel to Spain for the wedding and return back to the UK, as you are still married and she is exercising treaty rights.

Make sure you obtain a visa if you are a visa national.

Occassionally, they may need to call her to confirm she is exercising treaty rights.

You can also hold evidence of her course and employment with you.

I think in you current situation, initiating a divorce may be the next step.

You may be able to retain your residency status and apply for PR after divorce.
