Divorce after naturalisation

Post by Modest » Mon Sep 30, 2013 6:04 pm

Dear members,

Please help me with my query.

I came to UK on a spouse visa four years ago (married for seven years in total) and now I am waiting for my GB passport to be delivered after one year of my ILR.

However our married life has taken a worse possible turn and things are not going well. We might end up having a divorce (though I am still doing my best to resolve the differences).

My question is will that affect my immigration status ? I have read on Internet that the ILR/nationality cannot be revoked unless false information was provided to gain it. Is this rule that simple or are there any ifs and buts involved ?

Please guide.

Thanks.

Divorce after ILR

Modest,

Once you are free of immigration restrictions marriage breakdown and divorce will not affect your immigration status unless the whole thing could be proved to be a sham from the beginning or it is a case of deliberate attempt to commit an immigration crime (arranging fictitious marriages etc).

Relax.
