Well if the marriage is over at the end of your spouse visa you will have to leave the UK. If you travel abroad and return while the visa is still valid you risk refusal of entry due to changed circumstances.

And I don't think you can get her to pay your living costs....as you are no longer here on the terms of your visa not sure what your status would be, when did you arrive in the UK?

OP if you want to stay in the UK, you seriously have to work on reconciling things with your wife. Have you got any child or children by the way, in whose life/lives you are playing a substantial/active part?

She sponsored your visa, but she is not legally obliged to pay you a penny for maintenance. Your best bet is to try and get a job, and be flexible on the offers available.

If you go out, you will be alright to return, provided she has not already reported you to the Home Office.

If the separation is amicable and not bitter (example) infidelity on your part or domestic violence involved, i am sure she will be prepared to assist you.

Remember, the HO has the power to start curtailing your rights as things stand or even ask you to leave the UK before you probationary period terminates or expires. You can only hope and pray that your wife hasn't taken things further than just asking you to leave.

No the seperation wasn't from my side at all, she just once everything was fine and she texted saying see u at home soon (was nice text) but when she came back she asked me to leave the house we didn't even had any problems at all since i came here.at 1st i said no but never in anyway violence at all. i even asked her to let me stay till i find a job and she agreed but the next day she said i must go so i left. and since then she refused to make me contact her at all she changed her number and she threaten me by calling the police if igo near her.

Thanks for the reply.

That is awful. It is a terrible thing to do to someone you claim you love, in a foreign country, when they have done nothing wrong to you.

Have you any friends or relatives in the UK.

Have you any qualifications or degree, or any ambitions or plans to study in the UK?

Remember, even if she reports you to This Department, it won't be the end of the world, as stated on the website itself.

You have to seriously think about doing something pretty quickly.

[MO1EL]

My problem isn't money, i loved that person.
yes i have a degree and been searching for jobs for 2 months now but it's very hard at the moment economyisn't doing well. what can i do quickly? i cannot think of anything i tried contacting her she refuses to contact me not even through mutual friend. emailed her she never reply , i think her lawyer told her not to contact me at all.

[Obie]

If you don't want to languish in British jail or a police cell overnight, i will advise you to cease/desist from contacting this woman, to prevent a bad situation getting worse, until at least she finally realises the errors of her ways and decide to reconcile.

Your right to switch to other immigration category is available, should you wish to use that avenue.

[Wanderer]

Let's not forget there are three sides to every story in these cases, the man's, the woman's and the truth so I don't feel it's fair to say the woman must see 'the error of her ways', who knows the OP's motives here, maybe he just wants a UK passport and his wife realised that? We don't know, seems odd to drop someone for no reason doesn't it?

[MO1EL]

wanderer i knew here for over 6 years and i can prove that, she even visited my family home with her mum in egypt in2005 and she visited me 3 times there as well.but i'm not asking for openion if she is bad or not i'm asking for advice what to do thats all.

1- what will happen to my visa after it runs out on 2 years time or if the divorce granted ? wheather she granted divorce or not?

If you are not together, whether divorced or not, you will not be able to apply for ILR based on your marriage

2-we were married in egypt but the home office recoginsed this marriage other wise they'll never give me spouse visa , can she apply for divorce in uk and how long will it take if i don't agree to divorce her?

It is quite possible that she can apply for divorce in the UK. In fact if divorce laws are unfavourable to women in Egypt I would be surprised if she did not file for divorce in the UK.

A divorce would take longer if you did not agree, but if the marriage has broken down and you are not going to get back together, what would be the reason to refuse. If you refused to cooperate it would not help you get ILR.

3- can i travel out of uk and come back during this 2 years without having and problems?

If she has informed UKBA that the marriage has broken down and you are no longer living together, you may not be allowed back in to the UK.

4- she is my sponsor and she signed this form i'm not entitle to any public fund and currently not working but looking for work , is she the one suppose to pay for my living costs and how can i get her to pay that?

I doubt that she has to pay for your upkeep considering you have only been married a short time.

You need family law advice about retrieving any property she may have of yours, money issues, divorce and so on.

If you also have no children in the UK then you cannot use the "access to a child" route.

Citizens Advice website about divorce

There is no obligation for a woman in the UK to stay with a man if she does not want to. A woman cannot be forced to "see the error of her ways". She also cannot lie on an application for your ILR without quite probably commiting a criminal offence.

I agree with Obie that if she has gone as far as changing her number, that you should not contact her. If you do want to contact her get advice from a solicitor first.

MO1EL, if you want to stay or eventually settle in the UK I think you need to see what other options are possible if you do not get back together with your wife.

The main thing is that you probably need to see a solicitor who specialises in family law as soon as possible.

I hope you are not seeking to take my comment out of context. I never suggested, he forces the woman to "See the Error of her Ways", neither did i suggest he compel or pressurises her to make false statement on his behalf.

I am sure me and the OP are fully aware that in the UK, a woman cannot be forced to be with a man. I am sure the same rule applies in Egypt and in other Jurisdictions.

All i was saying is, if the OP's version of event is correct, he should wait for the woman to decide on what she wants to do, rather than contacting her.

I am just sympathetic with the OP's plight, as i know someone who was a victim of the same circumstance.

Thank you all very much.

I'm not intending to do anything bad to her at all, infact i'm more than willing to do whatever she wants,no matter what even if the outcome will effect me. I love her and she is a great person i just never wanted to end this way thats all.

i appreciate your help and quick response.
