am not sure if this link will answer some of your questions, I had similar query but mine is different because, I am not divorce.

please read section 10 on the eea4 application form, I believe this will answer your questions.

thank you so much. i have checked the link and i guess that answers my question about using a solicitor because all the required documents are self explanatory. but the problem is that i only have some p60's(07-08, 09-10,10-11), p45's and payslips, i also have tenancy agreements and a utility bill. i do not have a bank statement for all 5 years. will this be a problem?

Are you able to demonstrate that at the end of the marriage, your former spouse was a qualified person.

If you are able to demonstrate that, then you will need to provide proof that you have resided in the UK for 5 years, as if you are a person Exercising treaty rights.

if you have p60s or payslips that cover you during these periods then that should be enough evidence. bank statements will only proof the same thing payslips will proof.

I thought the case of Amos has put an end to non eea spouses' struggle to prove their estranged partner was qualified up to the date of decree absolute!

No Amos has not done anything like that.

It simply state that if someone is having difficulty proving that fact, they can seek help from Secretary of State, but she is not oblidge to do any enquiries to establish such facts.

@ does this imply that i can send my 5 p60's and my ex payslips for the last 4 months as well as utility bills and tenancy agreement for a pr application?

Does "she" here refer to Secretary of State or the OP? the meaning will be completely different though!

@ Apricool, in theory I think what you have should suffice. However, if you can prove that your ex was qualified throughout the whole marriage till the date of decree absolute plus usual things (bills and your own payslips), your retention is a piece of cake

The She refers to the SOS Home Department.

thank u so much.i will keep u posted as things go on.

So if any applicant for retention is having difficulty proving the status of estranged spouse and puts a formal request to SOS to make enquiries regarding that, does it mean it is a matter of time to confirm the status of the estranged EEA spouse or there might be ifs and buts?
