Where a relationship has broken down, the UK sponsor of the relationship can report this to the Home Office on GOV.UK at the following address:

Visas when you separate or divorce: Tell the Home Office - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Each referral to the Home Office will be considered on an individual basis and a decision will be taken as to whether it is appropriate to cancel the former partner’s permission to stay in the UK.

Where a migrant has no remaining leave or if the sponsor wishes to report that they believe they have been a victim of a sham or fraudulent marriage, a report can be made at the following address:

Report an immigration or border crime - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
