I have a friend who was given EEA family member resident permit 5 years in 2010 based on cohabiting with his Lithuania girlfriend back then but they are not together anymore since 2011 and the girl is in USA now. My friend travelled to his home country in Africa this year as he was coming back to the UK he was stopped and asked about his partner and he told them she just travelled to USA not wanting to go into the details of splitting up so as to not open different avenues for them to be questioning and they called the girl in USA who advised them at they are still together and that they have lived together for over 3 years but Home office did not believe her and they said they want to revoke the permit, they have since detained him for 4 months and during which he has gone for 2 appeals on the basis of the EEA relationship which he lost cos they said the EEA citizen is not here in the UK so he shouldn't be also but his lawyer advise on JR but they were forced to come clean that he was not with the EEA citizen anymore that he has a new girlfriend now who is willing to even marry him while in detention, the new girl was introduced in the JR which was refused and they lost it but now HO asked him to go voluntarily or he will be forced and he is given ultimatum till tomorrow and am expecting his lawyer to be able to appeal the deportation on the grounds of a new partner but the lawyer advised him to put in Flr (o) he has given the lawyer money for the application but he has no time what can you guys advised him to do, It is very urgent he is my good friend and we used to live together with his partner back then so i know it is genuine
If you are liable to detention and deportation - you must
If someone you know is facing imminent deportation, go straight to: 'Last resort - pass the removal date'
If you are liable to detention and deportation - you must at all times carry the following information on your person
Full name
Date of birth - (copy of birth certificate, if you can)
Home Office Reference number
Home Office Port Reference number
Same details for any family members
Phone number of your:
Solicitor including their emergency number
Your MP including their emergency number
Your doctor (if there are any persistent medical problems with any member of your family or yourself)
Numbers of any friends/support group/campaign group
A mobile phone that doesn't take photos or give access to the internet, as phones that take photos or give access to the internet will be confiscated if you are detained
You Must have a file containing all your *legal documents and left next to your front door if in stable accommodation. (If a 'snatch squad' invades your home you will be able to insist that they let you take the file.)
A copy of this file should be left with some one who is not liable to detention and is easy to contact. If detained you can phone this person and ask them to make copies and post them to yourself and others.
If homeless you must carry this file at all times.
*Documents issued by the Home Office regarding your case are your property and you are entitled to have them. If the Home Office send documents to your solicitor they are still your property; insist that the solicitor gives you copies of all correspondence from the Home Office, do not take no for an answer.
If you are reporting 'You must' inform someone you are going to sign and give them a deadline for a return call saying you have not been detained. (Best practice: someone should accompany you.)
This person should have all your details and if doesn't hear from you they should contact reporting centre/police station to find out if you have been detained.
If detained at the first opportunity ring your solicitor if you have one, your friend/supporters.
Supporters of persons liable to detention/deportation
If someone you are supporting is detained either at a reporting centre or police station, it is unlikely that you will be able to speak to him or her.
However those detained at reporting centres or police stations are usually transferred to detention centres before removal and you can ring them there.
Addresses for Immigration Removal Centres go here . . . .
Last resort - pass the removal date
If someone you know is being put on a plane today/tomorrow, Freemovement' might be able to provide practical advice as to what can be done to buy some time. We will need the following information on the family/individual:
You will have to email the details to 'No-Deportations'
so if you want to Email replace + with @
no-deportations+no-deportations.org.uk
Have removal directions been set, if yes,

Very Important: If the asylum claim has been refused, 'Freemovement' need to see:
1) ICD.2599 Immigration Factual Summary
2) a copy of the Home Office 'Letter of Refusal' also called the 'determination', this is the document refusing asylum.
We must insist that the Home Office letter of refusal is sent to 'Freemomvement' in PDF format. All modern computers have the facility to scan in documents and convert them into PDF's, we will no longer accept multiple Jpegs/tiffs of documents.
(Freempvement will not be able to offer 'Signposting' until we have sight of both these documents.) Please take note the document will be 'securely destroyed' after three weeks, so make sure that you only send a copy.
Important, do not send any other documents than those requested, if you do send other documents they will be securely destroyed unread.
