I am an Indian citizen, having UK ILR and want to know if ILR will be cancelled if I do not visit UK for 2 years?

Actually I'm getting separated from my husband who is a British national and want to cancel my ILR now which is a precursor to our divorce.

Please advise how will it be revoked?

    Just to be absolutely clear: Do you want to cancel it? Or does he want to and you are asking how you can avoid that?

  • You do not need to cancel your ILR to get a divorce. But you may need to notify the Home Office of the divorce.

The ILR should not be affected in this case by your matrimonial status however it is intended for people settling in the country. In effect the ILR does lapse after 2 years of living abroad however there may be exceptions depending on individual circumstances.

I would advise to contact you citizen advice bureau for free legal advice if your are still in the UK or the nearest British embassy/consulate for clarifications.
