How long have you been resident in the UK and what is your immigration history?

You are only divorced once the decree absolute is issued.

What did you reply to Q1.15 on marital status?

Anyway, no impact if you applied for privilege of citizenship in your own right.

Family/divorce matters are not taken into consideration even in context of the 'good character' line of questioning for citizenship.

You will remain married to your spouse until the Decree Absolute is issued.

The issuing of a divorce petition does not in itself change your status.

Legally you are still married & an ongoing divorce case is a personal matter, not for Home Office to get involved with.

Should be all good on that score.

Good luck.
