Relationship breakdown whilst on spouse visa

Post by Marra » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:27 pm

Hi everyone
I've been in the uk since October 2012 on a spouse visa - new rules - so I've been here nearly 4 years .. Sadly my relationship with my wife has come to an end last month ... Just been separated but still married..
Please if anyone can help me . I really need some advice as I don't really know what is going to happen next .
Thanks a lot in advance .

Your wife has an obligation to inform HO of the marriage breakdown. This will likely result in your visa being curtailed/cancelled. Unless you can resolve your issues or you qualify for any other visa, you won't be able to continue on the spouse visa.

Thank you all for the quick reply
I'm working as a security officer for a private company ...
Do you know anything about discretionary visas ? Or do I have any chance of getting one ?
Any advices are much appreciated
Thanks

You will either need to repatriate, or qualify for another visa on your own - either a Tier 4 or Tier 2.
