Obie wrote:ILR was not issued in Error. The OP has already explained that he applied under the rules in place before 9th July 2012, as his then partner was settled in the UK. He was therefore entitled to the 2 years leave and settlement after that.

This was perfectly within the rules.

He is not subject to the 1971 act and not under immigration control. There is therefore no need to inform home office of break down.

He was not married but an unmarried partner. Therefore he cannot be required to show that a previous marriage or relationship has ended, for his current marriage to be valid.

I think he should appeal.

The ECO appear to have proceeded that he was previously married and entering a new marriage without proof that the previous marriage has ended.
Obie has already given you advice.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
