Ok. In case of dramatic accident is happend and I lost all documents would the HM kind enough and give a call to Work Department or something like that to proove that my wife worked or still working in the UK?Obie wrote:Just to add, say you apply for PR in 2011, you will either need to provide evidence that she was exercising treaty rights immediately before your divorce or she was exercising treaty rights and living with you up to the period leading up to your 5 years stay in the UK.
When non-EEA family members enters the UK independently, they are usually asked about their EEA family members and whether they are still exercising treaty rights in the UK. In event of your wife leaving the UK that could be problematic. You might find yourself having to prove to them that you are a non-EEA family member retaining his rights of resident in the UK. Imagine the hindrance you might have to endure, the possible detention you might face for them to establish this.
You have to keep evidence she was exercising treaty right before you separated for another 2 years. What if a tragic event happen over that period and hence you are unable to provide it, this could be a problem too.
For peace of mind , and to ensure that come 2011, you will only be required to furnish evidence about your activity in the UK rather than your EX partner, i will recommend having the retention brought to their knowledge, and living with the peace of mind that you are in the UK in your own rights and the authorities are perfectly aware.
Then again i might be wrong on that. That is my take anyway.
That is what i would do, to prevent myself facing harassment, intimidation or embarrassment from UKBA staff at the airport or in other settings or circumstances.
It is similar to the Resident Card application, you are not oblige to apply for it, however the onus is on you the beneficiary to prove that you benefit from freedom of movements right.
