Mr O obtained a Residence Card after his marriage to an EEA national who was living and working in the UK. They lived together happily for a few years, but problems due to differing outlooks on life became significant. The relationship disintegrated completely after Mrs O formed a new relationship with another man, following which the couple got divorced.
After the divorce, Mr O continued residing and working in the UK. Upon completing his 5-year stay in the UK, Mr O applied for a Permanent Residence Card on the basis of the retained right of residence. His application was refused because he failed to provide the required evidence to show that his ex-wife was exercising treaty rights in the UK at the point of divorce and that he had been exercising his treaty rights.
Feeling distraught, and reeling from a bad experience with his previous legal representative, Mr O took a friends’ recommendation to come to us just days before the deadline to exercise his right of appeal. He was scheduled to start a new IT job with a reputable service review company, and he was concerned that the refusal decision would impact not only his life in the UK but also his career. We advised him on the merits of his appeal, the appeal procedure, and his immigration status. Mr O decided to instruct us to handle his appeal. We lodged his appeal before the deadline.
Mr O used our advice and took appropriate steps to address the concerns raised by the UKVI in the refusal letter. Because of this approach, UKVI decided to withdraw their refusal decision while the appeal was still pending.

I know A Y & J Solicitors for many years now and instructed them for various UK immigration matters. But specially I like to talk & thank about my mother’s latest EEA residence permit under ‘Surinder Singh’ route that has been approved in the ‘First instance’. It was a very complex immigration application under EU regulation but with the help of YDVISAS and team, this became a dream come true. I always received a full assurance and a complete hand holding support throughout the application process. I am united with my mother in the UK with the top technical knowledge of EU regulation, relentless efforts and honest – humble approach of A Y & J Solicitors. Saying ‘Thank you’ won’t be enough here, having my mother with me in the UK is a lot more than any words I describe my appreciation with. I highly recommend A Y & J Solicitors to anyone who is looking for professional support in relation to UK immigration including EU regulation / Surinder Singh route.
