Hello all,

I'm a non-EEA national who has EEA family member residence card.
The situation is that my wife has left the UK and I want to retain my rights.....we are married for 7 years by now, we are still in relationship, but for life difficulties she has decided to move back home few weeks ago. She has been in employment in the UK since 2012 till 2014 then was on maternity cover, then stayed at home mom with child tax and child benefit. We have lived together in the UK for more than 3 years together, and I'm employed as well.

My questions are:

-What application form do I need to submit?
-I have submitted all paperwork to home office, Do I have to submit all originals again?
-what is the timeline for the application?
-What do I need to submit as a proof that she has left the UK?


Many thanks in advance for your help

You are likely to be refused.

You cannot retain a right of residence as you are still married. Your wife has left the UK and she has not worked in the UK for 5 years. Therefore applying is not a good idea.

Hello all,

I would like to ask you, please to tell me
What application form is needed to retain right of residence ?
Is it EE2 or EEA3 or any other ?



Many thanks

Did you read Obie's advice given on 29th January?

If your spouse has left the UK and you are still married you cannot retain rights of residence.
