I think you should be fine, check the Directive 2004/38, Article 13(2). Which nationality are you? In theory it should not matter, but the home office is more paranoid with some nationalities than others. And how long have you been living together in the UK?

Hinestly, now that you are seperated after having been married for more than 3 years, strictly speaking from an immigration point of view, it is more beneficial to be divorced than to be seperated.

Once divorced you retain your right of residence in the UK under the EU laws.

Your wife's country is spelled 'Ukraine' and yes she is entitled to reside and continue working over here.

Actually Doc, cos I'm in a contradictory mood, cos England beat Tonga ;0

Ukraine is, in Ukrainian Україна, and in Russian, which is the lingua franca, Украина...

So u should say 'Ookraeena' - phonetically for English speakers.

My gf is, at this moment, interpreting for a bunch of Ukrainian Lesbians in Berlin, you couldn't make it up....

Wonder what 'carpet-muncher' is in Ukrainian....?

[Docterror]

Phonetically, 'phonetically' should be spelled 'fonetikalee'. As long as we are basing our discussions in English, is it not a good idea to spell the countries in their widely accepted norms of that language?

Yeap Docterror , most laws in uk now is getting out of hand expecially immigration laywers over here , most of them give u fake idea alot's . From ur point of view here what happen if the EEA has not been woking /studying but making money another way and the Non EEA has been working and have the decree of nisi ? Will the HO still ask for the EEA document as well or just the Non EEA due to more than 3 yrs and prove of divorce , decree of nisi.
Also , i thought once the Non EEA is working that could be fine as long the are not into public funds.
