Strongly suggest you wait till you have ILR before making in decisions you might regret.

As the saying goes : "Act in haste, repent at leisure."

Your spouse is required to inform HO that your relationship has broken down on the prescribed form. This can be before a divorce is initiated or complete. Note a divorce in the UK can take up to 6 months, depending on assets/children etc. If your spouse informs HO, your visa will be curtailed to expire in 60 days from date of curtailment letter.

What other visas would you qualify for??

I know it's not a great situation to be in.

You said you will complete 10 years in June 2019. I am not sure but if they still provide one day premium ILR service for 10 years route, if not then you have to do postal which can take six months also.

2019 june. You can apply 28 days before your 10 years route. Wait until then - take time off but don't act in haste. They don't ask for much documentation on 10 years route only legal proof that you are in this country for 10 years - no details of dependent.

i would wait if i could but situation got worse. if my husband inform HO my visa will be curtailed. is it gonna make me over stayer? if my visa curtailed what options do i have? can i apply FLO to kill 5 months? if my visa curtailed or void can i apply for ILR in 10 years route? please i appreciate your honest advice. thanks.
