Your query is not entirely clear. Are you applying from Pakistan? What is it you are concerned about - the fact that you previously had a visa as the dependent of a man from whom you are now divorced?

What do you mean your divorce certificate was signed in London, but was registered in Karachi.Were you both not present in the same country (Pakistan) when the divorce took place.

If not then there is a possibility that for Immigration purposes they (the ECO) will not accept the divorce, if one of you was in UK whilst the other was in Pakistan

Is your divorce through uk courts or pakistani courts?

If pakistani then ukba will recognise the divorce as long as it was done according to pakistan law and was all done officially.

For uk divorce you dont both need to be resident in the same country, aslong as one of you has been resident here for 12 months. I obtained a uk divorce even though my ex wife has never been here. The court just sent the petition to her in pakistan.
