If she leaves the UK without a divorce, then you cannot stay, unless you have attained PR prior to her departure or you have a child together who is in a UK school, etc.

Well said Vinny and thanks for your initial help.

That's one of the moment I have been waiting for but still not sure if you've gotten the message at all. Dream on!

There was this saying. If a man want to catch a Monkey all you need to do is to behave like one. In relation to where your storyline started from.

Another food for thought.
It is really good to help and everyone deserve to be respected in life. Good luck.

Agreed. At the very least, proceedings should be initiated before she leaves inorder for the question of retention of residence to be engaged.

I may be wrong but from your membership flag I can assume that you are from Morocco. Home office is not a place you can just walk into and start to explain things and for your own benefit never try to deal with HO from a difficult angle.

As Obei has advised, if she leaves without you completing the divorce you will be stuck for at least two years if for any reason she refuses to sign/acknowledge the two letters regarding the petition that will be send to her. Unless you paid the local authority to hand deliver the letters and besides can you afford to pay UK council for the service outside UK?

I have being through divorce and i strongly believed these arguments will educate some members in the platform.
