Hello,
I came to UK in 2007 on student visa. I've renewed the student visa and never worked beyond allocated hours and always paid tax and NI.
I started a relationship with a British woman older than my age in 2009.
We have been together in a relationship all this time since then.
I've become a part of her family with her parents and kids accepting me.
She earns beyond the min req for visa application.
She unfortunately has been awaiting divorce from an non-cooperating husband all these years. He has started to drip feed the necessary papers, but is very slow. so i believe the divorce should be through sooner than later.
My current visa runs out in the coming months.
Is there a way that i can legally stay with my girlfriend while awaiting the divorce?
Few months back, immigration officers had come to check on me at my work, and they left once they were handed my visa and contract copy. But My company decided not to employ me so my girlfriend has been supporting me financially.
Any advice would be really appreciated. I'd like to stay within the law. As i've always strived to do all these many years.
It is just a situation that is so entwined in regulations that it seems impossible feat to just live out a life with someone you love so much.
