Divorce and ILR advice please

Post by bknoetze » Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:00 pm

Hi thanks for helping

My wife and I have been separated for some time. Have been married for 9 years all of which has been in the UK.

Wife has been on a number of visa's legally and has recently received IRL on a 10 year application.

My application for 10 year IRL is currently with the home office (7 weeks).

The question:
When would we be able to divorce?
What are the implications restrictions etc?

thanks

Is your ILR application in any way based on the fact that you are married?

Being married might have been one of the factors, but i am not sure.

Wife has been on my visa (holiday, Student, Workers etc)

and I was on her visa (working) for a short period

10 Year ILR was submitted separately

Hope this helps

Hi Good people

I know some us us are struggling with finances and some can't even get a job until they get a decision with their passports from the HO. Therefore, it is EXPENSIVE calling those 0870/0845xxxxxxxxx numbers that the Home office generally provides.
Don't give up, now you can call Home Office for free, just check out www.saynoto0870.com and you will be provided with a local 0208/0151/0161xxxxxx number where you can contact HO for FREE! The actual number is 01516725626. (But log on to www.saynoto0870.com and confirm for yourself)
Especially if you have a pay monthly home or mobile telephone contract. You can still call from a pay as you go mobile but the charge rate will be like you are calling your neighbour next door on any 0208xxxxxxxx number.
Good luck Razz (Please share with others if it works for you!)
