with Iain's post. Speaking for myself, I know very little about divorce proceedings ... particulary those applicable to other countries. However, I believe that, in the light of the time these things seem to take to finalise, and ... as Iain points out ... the cost of UK Settlement Visas, it would be sensible to defer any application until a more definite outcome is reached.
