Hello,

I am wondering whether or not my ILR will be revoked after me getting divorced.I am in a deep stress and confusion where to seek help from,
things seem not to go in the right direction anymore as it used to be in the past.
I would immensely appreciate if someone could reply to my question.
Thank you very much

On what basis did you get your ILR? Is your (ex-)spouse a British Citizen or otherwise settled in the UK?

Also, how long between you applying for your ILR, and the two of you separating?

I got married to a British citizen so I got my ILR. We have been and still living together even after I got my ILR. Whats being hapening now is that she keeps from time to time mentioning we might divorce if I wont manage to find a stable kind of work.yet im doing all my best so that i can get a job,I ve been through various interviews but luck didnt smile to me.just one thing sure is that she showed me she could end our marriage if thats necassary to save her away from the recession thats hitting hard these days.there is a lot to be said but just dont know where to start.Before we got married like back 4years we promised each other not to stop and talk about anything that may arise in our path,communication can solve a lot of problems,but although im doing so and try concince her sometimes but it seems there is only me who is sticking to that rule ( communication ).I am so concerned of what might be my sort if she does really go for divorce since she is partly encouraged by her mother who is underestimating.
when we knew each other back to 2008, I was then secondary school teacher with a full permanent position with a very good and high salary in my country,
we have talked about me sacrifying my career to come and join her to live in the UK.by the way I have made a couple of visits during my school breaks just to see how its like,and then after a long thinking about it will be me leaving my job oversees,so I got my marriage visa then ILR.to cut it short ,Im very much concerned as I did not for a moment my wife would let me down if things will not get the way she wants.

I am very much worried to sacrify a ten year teaching career and come over to settle down in the Uk to wake up to this harsh reality that I am enduring evryday.my heart beats so fast at moments.

thank you very much for your time and reply

Your ilr won't be revoked purely because you get divorced. It sounds like you need a marriage counsellor rather than immigration advice.

Thank you very much indeed for your reply and I will look what I can do to solve the situation if my wife will be still sticking to our union.hope so.
Thanks again and I will follow your advice to look for a marriage councillor

Bobjimmy, I totally agree with Greenie, there was clearly no deception involved when you got your ILR, and accordingly absolutely no danger of the ILR being revoked.

So on that point you can totally relax. As regards the state of your marriage, I also agree with Greenie that a marriage counsellor is the sort of person you need to visit.

So you were a secondary school teacher in your country of origin. Can I ask, where was that? Are you able to use your skills in the UK? What specialist subject did you teach?

Hello again
sorry been away busy doing sth.
well Im a University qualified teacher,Im a teacher of English/French as a second language aqcuisition,ie; teaching English for non speaking English pupils.My wife when she was over for a visit to see my family,I made her visit the school and she quiet liked it and made her meet with some of my pupils at the time,that was in 2008, they did really enjoying talking English to a native speaker, it was a very experience,well,I have brought with me all the relative qualifications including all my work certificates and full history since I ever started in 2000,I have submitted a qualification for consideration within the GTCS and they have come back to me with a reply that yet my qualifications were genuine along with my teaching experience ( since they have said that they have confirmed my The Ministry of Education in my home country) BUT the only problem is that my qualification is not yet a the required level as set out by the Education insitution,in other words,I have to start from scratch,
in the meanwhile I have been doing teaching auxiliary and classroom assistant to support pupils learnings in primary schools but that is only for a limited number of hours sometimes not more than 15/18 hours a week.
So im trying to get a job here and there while waiting to get the opportunity to enrol and start a course in one the instituions that do so.

In the beginning I didnt want tell anybody about how the situation and my wife's attitude quicked off as I was always keeping talking with her about the fact that things take longer and longer sometimes to get sorted out . But as sometimes when she starts talking in that way with a tone I do really start to get worried that she is very able to kick me out . So I came into here and you are guys are the 1st ones to tell to seek guidance and advice.

thank you very much once again

Relationship do go through ups and down, and i agree with the other contributor that you will be fine in regards to the ILR. I know it must be frustrated,but surely your wife should see you are doing your utmost best to get something.

Having said so,others might say doing your utmost dont pay the bills.

What country issued those qualifications?

Also, have you considered adult education? For example getting a CELTA qualification? With your background I suspect that you can gain that qualification with ease.

Also private tuition? There is nothing to stop you giving private lessons to children, helping newly-arrived French-speaking children get up to speed with English, or indeed teaching French to other children. But getting a CRB check done would be a good idea.
