International divorce to EU wife from Pakistan married in UK

Post by Twistedlife » Mon Mar 14, 2022 10:57 pm

Hi all
First of all sorry if my post is in irrelevant category.
I married Hungarian national in UK according to English law in Dec 2014. I am from Pakistan I came to Pakistan in April 2017 due to family emergency and didn’t go back to uk because my family permit was refused while I was in UK. Since then I am not in contact with EU spouse and don’t know her whereabouts. I wanted a divorce and a lawyer in Pakistan told me that divorce is possible here in Pakistan as I am a Pakistani national. Lawyer said he will get me a divorce. I have to remarry a uk national a Muslim girl but waiting to get divorce certificate first to avoid any issues with home office because I will have to apply for spouse visa again and in the record of UK home office I am still married to EU national.
My question is: as my divorce certificate is going to be from Pakistan. How do I inform home office that I am divorced once a divorce document is ready.
Will the home office accept my Pakistani divorce document when I submit it with spouse visa application after the second marriage? Or do I have to attest it from UK embassy before second marriage or any other step shall I take before applying for spouse visa? So that UK would accept my Pakistani divorce document without any objection.
In brief I want my divorce certificate to be accepted by UK visa authorities here in Pakistan when I apply for spouse visa after second marriage.
Any advice in this case would be appreciated

International divorce and impact of overstay in uk on spouse visa application

Hi
No one replied to my previous query so I will request again. I am divorcing my EU wife (hungarian) from Pakistan which I married in UK according to English law. Will I have to attest divorce certificate from UK embassy here in Pakistan? Because I have to apply for spouse visa on the basis of marriage to a British national?
Secondly I overstayed in uk but came back to Pakistan voluntarily on my own expense after my EU spouse application was refused and first appeal lost. Will my overstay in uk 5 years ago effect new spouse visa application.
