I had my British citizenship a year ago after i had my ILR two years ago.

I'm now want to file a divorce as my wife has leave me 2 years ago.
I want to apply as - Divorce after 2 years separation is effectively the only no fault ground for a divorce in England and Wales and we can have both consent to the divorce in writing.

My question is - Will the divorce affect my British citizenship as when my wife not love me any more ( we still talk buy not live together anymore ) - as i was just starting my ILR.

Or better wait for an other year for file a Divorce ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Absolutely zero affect on your British citizenship.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I'm just worrying as if i file a divorce with 2 years separation now - which means we were separated when I was on just start my ILR and during my British citizenship.

Will it allow ? As I wonder we might still need to be together when I were on my ILR ? Just don't want to break any rules.


Thank you very much.

There's no requirement to be living together once your ILR is granted.

As far as I know, according to British law, you are married, until you are divorced. Stop worrying too much
