Details of my marriage in my previous skilled worker visa for my citizenship application
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2025 1:22 pm
Hi
I am an Indian citizen.
I came to the UK on 7th Feb 2019 on General Tier 2 visa for two years
My wife never came to the UK.
I got divorce in Nov 2020. It is during COVID times. So I had to request for a skype call for divorce hearing. My wife at that time was a habitual Indian resident (Indian national). I was on skilled worker visa in the UK at the time of hearing.
Because I could not get the divorce decree document in the UK, i could not remove my ex-wife name from my Indian passport at that time.
Later between 2021 and 2023 ( I got global talent visa in 2023), I have applied for two visa extensions and I HAD TO MENTION THAT I AM MARRIED. This is because I did not have the divorce decree So my Ex-wife name still existed in my Indian passport at that time. There was no way to prove that I was divorced. So I had to do that for the visa application.
Towards the end of 2023, I got the divorce decree and I then removed my ex-wife name from my Indian passport.
I have applied for ILR in 2024 mentioning that I am divorced. Hence all the records were set right for my ILR application. I got the ILR in Feb 2024.
I recently married in India. I got my wife's name in my Indian passport now.
I am eligible for naturalization in Feb 2025 hence I am going to apply for the same in Feb 2025. In the naturalization application, I will mention that I was divorced in 2020 and give the details of my Ex-wife. I will also give the details of my current marital status.
MY DOUBT IS
Should I write a letter and enclose it along with my naturalisation application that I had to mention that I was married even though was got divorced for two skilled worker visa applications? I did not mention it intentionally and my marriage was not the basis on which I got the skilled worker, global talent visa.
Does my case result in rejection of my citizenship application?
Please advice...........
thanks in advance
