Spouse visa and divorce - complicated case and desperately needs help

Post by justkidding » Sun Aug 21, 2022 3:18 pm

Hi,

I came to the UK in 2013 to do my PhD, then left the country maybe a year or so before coming back here for my wife's PhD. The issue is, now we're getting a divorce, and I'm dependent on her visa. I have a job (work for a University), but it's a non-sponsor role. My ex-wife and I had 2 kids, one 7 and one 4 years old. The older one was born here in the UK but left when she was one and came back here again when she was two for her mother's PhD, so she has stayed in the UK for 6 years so far. The ex-wife wants to separate me from my daughters, so she has been doing everything to make me leave the country so I won't be able to see my daughters again.

In many years living in the UK, I have been a sound citizen, always got a decent job and never used public funds nor caused any trouble, but now I'm at risk of being kicked out of the country and won't ever see my daughters again. I'm so emotional right now and do not know what to do. I have already contacted the University where I worked and see what they could do, but it's implausible that anything positive could be from them. Hence, I'm wondering if anyone here could give me some advice or introduce me a solicitor who specialises in cases. Anywhere in the UK is fine, as I really need help. Thank you

And in January this year, you posted about applying for naturalisation.

Hi CR001,

This account was originally from my friend, who is now a British passport holder. I had told them about my situation on the other day, then he referred me to this forum and let me use his account. Therefore the history posts are a bit confusing to readers.

My wife (ex-wife actually)'s current status is Tier 4, but she is applying for Graduation Visa. Mine is a dependent visa, which is tied to her Tier 4 visa.

I hope it is clearer now. Thank you.

About the name of details of solicitors, I completely understand the rule. May I ask if there is anywhere or any platform where we can find details and feedback from solicitors? Google reviews seem to be too easy to do fake positive reviews and not entirely reliable. I have not worked with any solicitor for all the years living in the UK, so I am really inexperienced about it. I hope you can help. Thank you.
