**Update** Errr, a little embarrassing... but only a few days after posting that last "end of story" bulletin. I received an email from my estranged wife's employer which I duly forwarded to her. It would appear that she did indeed leave the country but has now returned. I don't know how, ...
Thanks AmazonianX Yes I think the most important thing (especially bearing in mind the audience of IMMIGRATIONboards.com) Is whoever you are. Migrant or resident. Try to consider the effects of cultural and geographical changes. If I could live my life again. I wouldn't have been so hasty to arrange...
Hi THO You have helped me more than I can ever thank you for! Wow what an incredibly painful year this has been! I hope the virus has not affected you personally or your loved ones. Me, I lost an uncle in the first wave and my brother luckily recovered from infection during the summer. In terms of t...
Hi be123+, AmazonianX, seagul, Obie, Casa, CR001, physicskate, secret.simon and as ever THO! Thanks for taking the time to reply to this thread. My apologies for my slow response. I'm still learning how this forum works and if I understand correctly. Viewers can see the entire conversation despite m...
There is no requirement to be divorced first or send evidence of divorce/separation etc to be able to inform HO of the breakdown of the relationship. You simply need to complete the form and send it to HO. Hi CR001 Thanks for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it. For the interest of o...
Hi Immigration Boards My marriage has broken down and I have moved out of our family home. I have read the Curtailment Team Public Statement that says: I, __________, confirm that my relationship with __________ no longer subsists, that I do not live with them and that I do not intend to live with t...
Thank you, I read in this section https://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/breakdown-t293364.html that there isn't a great deal of difference between use of the: "Public statement" if you don’t want the Home Office to tell your ex-partner any details from your lette...
Dear Immigration Boards I write these next paragraphs during the 2020 Corona Virus Pandemic. I wonder how history will look back on these surreal times and judge our actions. Regarding general visa policy. Do you think the pandemic will affect governments attitudes towards migration. I wonder whethe...
Hi THO It's ok. Thanks for the idea nonetheless. I'm happy to post stuff online I'm keeping sensitive data like names and locations secret. So here is a little update on my situation. Things have moved quite fast since Sunday. Following a very effective session with the relationship counselor and a ...
Hi THO Thanks for asking but... I am really sad to report that things have become much worse since we last spoke and probably of no interest to other readers of this post. Approaching Christmas my wife discovered that our 16 year old stepdaughter was taking contraception and she became crazy with an...
Hi Physicskate Yes you hit the nail on the head (multiple times). It is good advice. I absolutely do not want to hold her in a relationship she doesn’t want to be in. Hi THO I am grateful for your honest opinion and clearly experiences of a similar sort. It’s so difficult to see things clearly when ...
Thank you for your quick and decisive response. So, this now leaves me in a quandary... If we continue to live the way we are doing; it will all end in tears very quickly. In fact, I fear that immediately after the 2.5 year mark is reached she will abandon me to start a relationship with one of her ...
Is it possible to request an extension of an extension of the 2.5 year rule? i.e. making the whole process deliberately longer. (7.5 years total) I imagine many are in the same boat as me... Met an exotic foreign wife while working overseas. Honeymoon period lasted throughout courtship. Married in o...
