Hi,

Just wondering what visa are you on currently ??
Are you from EU or non-EU country ??

This might already help you in your case.

Also, if you had your name in bank acc etc, I am sure if you request the bank about your older statements when you were part of that account, they should be able to give you the statements, and this would go for most documents I believe.

But a few more details from you would help to understand bit more about the situation.

hi there, thanks so much for taking your time and reply me yes iam from Africa which is outside EU, i came on a spouse visa then later i was given the 5yr visa wchich is family memmber of an eea national but it expired in november last year.

another thing, we never had anythning in both of our names to be quite honest i never felt it was necessary because i thought the marriage will last forver so i never thought about such things. hes a germany national and for now i dnt knw which visa im on since its the home office with my passport but the family member of an eea national visa expired last yr november. thanks and im looking forward to your responce

I hope you've gone through the links below:
I think 2nd link has the answer pertaining to your case.

Let us know if you need more information.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... ly-permit/

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... ts-family/#

This is one of the answers in the 2nd link above. Because you were married to the EEA national and now, though the relationship has ended and you've have lived in UK for 5 years, I am sure you have some grounds of positive outcome, but we don't know exact case.

Hope you understand.

But go through UKBA website, they have most of the information for most varied cases.

Regards


If you are a non-EEA national who has been living in the UK on the basis of your relationship with an EEA national, can you stay in the UK if the relationship ends? Close
If you were related to an EEA national by marriage or civil partnership but the relationship has ended through death, divorce, dissolution or the EEA national's departure from the UK, it is possible that you will retain a right of residence in the UK under European law. For more information, phone our European enquiries contact centre and speak to one of our advisers.

If you were the unmarried partner of an EEA national and the relationship has ended, you no longer have the right to live in the UK under European law.

thanks so much for your response, iv checked out the link on ukba and i might stand a chance fingers crossed i just dont understand why they never even bothered to send me the COA its now 6months. hopefully its gonna be positive outcome.

eve00, do you know whether your ex was actually exercising treaty rights during a 5-year period while you have been here? For example, do you know whether he was working and if so where?

Is your daughter automatically a German national (albeit one whose father won't assist in getting a passport), or does she have to register or take some other step to confirm her naitonality?

Have you tqaken any steps to locate your ex?

i contacted the germany embassy but they wanted the dad,s signature and his passport copy so i gave up cos he made it clear that he will never do anythng like that. i know that hes working but i don,t know where i tried to trace him but i couldnt coz even all his friends since they know whats happening between us two they are not willing to give any information to be quite honest i know nothing about his wherabouts.

i know he was working and hes still working but where i dont know iv benn tryng to find out about his job for the last 12months but i failed.

How does he supports his daughter? If at all he does.

Have you considered getting help from child support agency?

Perhaps that could at least bring about finding him.
