Did they give you a right of appeal?

Are you sure you submitted document which show that you ex was exercising treaty rights at time of divorce?

If you did, did you take copies of these documents?

if you can answer in the affirmative to the above question, then you have a good chance of succeeding on appeal or reconsideration.

Hi thanks for your reply.
yes they gave me right to appeal.

Yes i did submit lots of documents weighing more than 1.2kg to the home office.
no i didn't take copies,my mistake.
i only have the special delivery receipt with me..
from the refusal letter ,this is what i think happen.
when i submited my application,few monthss latter i requested few of my documents back and then returned them after use.
i called home office after six months of application and told them i was going to make a complain for delays.
few days later i got the refusal.
they only spoke or talked about the documents i returned,its like they decided my case on the few documents i sent back to them and not the entire documents.

my ex is not helping,how do i get to get confirmation from her employer? or get all those documents back.
yhanks alot.sorry for the long post.

Before going down the appeal route, I would write back to the HO addressing the letter to the case worker who signed the refusal letter and ask for reconsideration of your application.

You should draw their attention to the fact that evidence alleged not to have been provided in support of the application was actually with them.

Might save you time (and money).

Well, did you supply evidence confirming that at time the decree absolute was passed, your ex was working. Such confirmation now will not suffice. You will need to establish that shortly before the divorce, when you cease from being a family member, that she was exercising treaty right.

No need to ask for reconsideration if you cant prove that or has evidence that you did sent it to HO.

you best bet is to proceed with appeal, which i believe will give you more legal certainty. You can at the tribunal ask the judge to request the HO to check your ex employment status. You may even succeed in getting a summon for her to come to the tribunal and confirm her status in the UK

I am very sorry to hear that, I do hope you appeal successful. It doesn't sound they have been reasonable.

Good luck with thing. I am sorry I have no any idea. Myself in the process of divorce after 10 years of marriage, and as we moved to other countries, I didn't accumulated enough year to apply EEA4. Just 6 months to go to be 5 years in UK, now I need to apply Retention of the right to stay soon. I couldn't find the application form on the website! :(

Please keep us posted!

I dont think so, because that is a minor offence.

drink driving, driving while uninsured ,dishonesty (for example theft)
violence or sexual offences are major and not minor offences.
but speeding is a minor offence . driving withou insurance is very very serious and major.
i am not trying to scare you but that is the truth. go to this link.

Agreed. Emmyemmy you're definitely right. When did you commit the offence? If it's less than five years, then I will advise you to wait till the offence becomes spent.
