How do I find out my wife's current immigration status?

Post by Wiseman » Sat Jun 02, 2012 6:32 am

My wife and I got married in Pakistan in 2007. She came to the uk in 2008 march time. Right from the outset her patents and her relatives in the uk kept asking me when will I be giving her ILR.
2 years later I wasn't happy with her families constant need for ILR so decided that I will not give her this. When she got wind of this, she ran away from home to her uncles address. She did this so we do not send her back to Pakistan.

I have written to the home office and border agency when she left that I do not want he'd to remain in the country and she is currently overstaying and therefore illegal but I never heard anythingnever granted her ILR however she is spreading rumours that she has permanent residency (there is no proof however).

I would like to know how I can obtain her current immigration status?
Also what other types of leave could she obtain instead if ILR?

Please help.

With all due respect, her immigration stats is now a matter between her and the HO.

You have no entitlement to know what your wife's current immigration status and ukba will not give you any information about her status as your relationship has broken down. As long as you have informed them that you are no longer together you have no further role to play.

She may well have made an application to remain here but it not really your business now and neither does She have to provide proof of her status as to you.

It is not for you to 'send' your wife back to Pakistan as she is an adult able to act on her own free will.

I would appreciate a response from someone educated in immigration please. No offence. She is still married to me and therefore still my dependent. If I have provided for her whilst she was here then I am entitled to finding out.

Two of them have already responded. This response, however, is from the uneducated.

You think you are, but the fact is you are not.

You have done your bit, having informed UKBA of the breakup in relationship and that you no longer wish to be her sponsor. Without sponsorship she can not expect to extend her stay in the UK as your spouse, but whether her current leave should be cancelled or not is completely UKBA's prerogative. If she makes an application for extension if she qualifies under another immigration category, that is between her and UKBA - as has already been mentioned - and nothing to do with you.
You may still be her spouse, but not a sponsor any more - and therefore her immigration status is not relevant to you any longer.

It is understandable that you are bitter and hurt because of what has happened, but, with all due respect, it is time to move on.

Greenie responded to you in her 5,070th post on the forum. You won't get more 'educated' advise than this. I would listen to it.
By the way, it isn't you who has the right to 'give your wife ILR' It's the Home Office. :wink:

As sushdmehta has said...it's time to move on.
