Can my ex husband keep his spouse visa??

[clairelouise26]

Hi i need some advice, i seperated from my husband who is egyptian last july he left me a week after he got his spouse visa and i wad 3 months pregnant instead of going back to his home country he went to live in italy and worked although i informed the UKBA we had seperated and they said it was up to them to revoke his visa, during our marriage he was violent and i applied for divorce as soon as we had been married a year he refused to give me his address and didnt contact me until i had my baby, then he sent txts threatening to take my baby from me and being a boy and my ex husband is muslim it was really scary to cut a long story short, he came to uk a few weeks ago using his spouse visa i had no idea he was coming and was worried that he would hurt me or my baby, he is with immigration in the detention centre and they are trying to revoke his visa he is refusing to go back to egypt and wants to appeal against this, i have phoned immigration where he is but they said that they cannot tell me anything due to data protection act i assume this is because we are seperated. I dont know what he is capable of and if he had a right to stay in uk.

The baby i have he hasnt seen he hasnt supported him or bought anything for him when i asked him to buy a cot he refused saying he couldnt afford to but then messaged me demanding to visit my son even though through choice he hasnt been to visit him and he is 3 months old now, i told him to go through lawyers as he cant be trusted on his own if he can hit me when i was pregnant he can hit my child i believe and saying he bought himself a new camera to take pictures,i gave upaskign him for anything and have looked after my son myself i just wanted some advice on whether he would be allowed to stay in uk? if so what grounds could he appeal against hes already tried lying to immigration that we are still together i havent seen him since last july and have no intention on getting back together with him.

i would apreciate any advice
many thanks

if you have informed UKBA that you are no longer together then no he will not be able to remain here on his spouse visa but he may qualify for leave under another category or for example may be granted leave so that he can obtain contact with his son. If he does obtain contact then he may be granted further leave on these grounds and then eventually indefinite leave.

Now that you have informed UKBA your relationship is over there is nothing further you can do in terms of his immigration status, this is an issue between him and the UKBA.

do look at the link by greenie and I would suggest you seek legal help if you feel you may be at risk of any kind of violence or child abduction.
Do this asap if you feel at risk . Put you and your child's safety first do not agree to any contact if you feel worried at all

Thank you for your advice, I have contacted the police about the violence
he used on me and the threats of snatching my son but they interviewed
him and in the end they took his word over mine and the case was closed.
I have had calls from his friends saying that he is laughing now as he has
a Anchor baby, charming !!!

Don't give up do seek other advice.
Contact women's aid as suggested above and have the support of other women and legal advice.
If the court do not grant him access he will not have his anchor and his little boat will be sunk!!!!
