ok...update ....he came on a visiting visa got married didnt renew his visa when it ran out

im in wales at the mo hes at home in kent :/

i dont know what sort of visa he has he was married for 5 years then divorced around christmas 08 and then we got married may 09, i know he doesnt have a valid visa now i think he entered uk with a work or study visa probably study visa thats all i know hes applying for ILR now the temporary version...

does the fact that he was married for 5 years not matter??? when you say that the benefit should be in both names does that mean i should or shouldnt apply???

his visa has expired he doesnt have any visa at the mo he hasnt reapplied

someone said he had to apply for temporary leave to remain wich lasts for 2 years before applying for permanant leave to remain...his imigration status is fine because hes been here for 7 years first five which he was married to his first wife then we got married this may after his divorce...thanks ...

ive read all posts and still a little confused and unsure please can some one give me honest and accurate answers to my q's thankyou... i am a british citizen and recently married my husband wich is a nigerian we have 2 children together and he has been living in uk for 7 years was previously marrie...
