I came here from Africa in 2oo1 as a dependant on a wife's visa.The wife is a workpermit holder and our children joined us in 2003 and are also dependants on her visa.My wife renewed our visas twice since we came here and before she sent the passports for renewal on the third time , we were having marital problems.On the third time she indicated to me , that she was not going to do it for me despite the fact that we were and are still legally married though at that time we were living separately because of work locations.I then made an application on my own behalf explaining that our marriage is still existing and we have two kids , but living separately.Home office refused saying I did not include my kids' birth certificates.After this accassion , my wife then decided to extend my LTR as her depenadant(which has always been the case).We did this through a solicitor . and when the home office were about to issue me with the extension, she wrote a letter barring them from issuing me with the extension sighting the reasons that, she suspected I was having an affair.I then approached the IAS who did another application to home office explaining the abuse I was getting from my wife and also enclosing the evidence of police and hospital reports on assaults.This application is still with the H/O since May last year.We are now back together and living in the same house and she hasn't applied for her indefinite leave to remain yet.Is there any need for me to inform the home office about our coming back together.The other thing is IAS said if they were to write to H/O they need a letter from my wife confirming that we are now living in the same house and knowing my wife as i do , she will be reluctant to do it.Should i wait for the H/O to reply or inform them as well about the change of circumstances.Please help.
