Hello,

I am currently on ILR. My wife and I lived together for about 6 yrs after our marriage in 2006. She was on my dependent visa on Tier 2 General. However I got my ILR on 10yr long stay visa. She then applied as my dependent on ILR status and now she is on that 2 yr condition visa.

Unfortunately she broke up with me soon after she got her 2 yr probationary visa based on my ILR. Since April 2012 we have been separated and I do not know where she is living. All I know is her work place in Coventry.

She has now instructed her solicitor to apply for Divorce and the process has now started. However I have never informed Home Office about our separation as I still have softcorner at her.

My dilemma:

a) Do I have to inform Home Office about my marriage breakdown?
b) Is it possible to re-marry and get her to UK?

I am in a big dillemma whether to apply for citizenship or not?

I have been granted ILR on 26th Jan 2012. However I applied for ILR based on 10yr long stay in November 2011. There are some blogs and also HO guidance that we can apply for Citizenship if we think there was some delay in application processing.

Based on this I am hoping to apply for Citizenship through NCS on 7th Jan 2013.

I am undergoing considerable stress due to all these issues. Hence I am approaching Immigration Boards for advice, information and support.

I have gone through your profile and I strongly believe that you will be able to support me in this difficult times.

Many thanks for your time and consideration.

Look forward to hearing from you.

If your ILR was granted and is dated as 26th January 2012, you can apply for naturalisation exactly 12 months after this on 26 January 2013, there is no option of applying 'within 28 days' for naturalisation applications.

On your wife, you might want to let her know that if she proceeds with divorce, her visa will become invalid if she is on a spouse visa.
