hello, i need to apply for UK visa, i am married, separated from my wife since last 1 year, but since it is not a legal separation, I do not have any documents related to our separation. I have our marriage certificate. In the visa form, there is an option to mention marital status as separated. My questions are: 1. Do I need to provide any documents when I claim to be separated? I do not have any. 2. Will i need to give any declaration to this effect? If yes, what sort of? My wife will not help me and will not sign or provide any documents. 3. Or shall I mark myself as married, avoiding showing separated! 4. Will my marital status have any effect on my granting of visa? I shall be applying for Business and subsequently Tier-2 Visa. Thanks and regards SD
