Hello everyone,
I am in a bit of a dilemma here. Me and my wife have been married since June 2014 and I got my EEA Residence card in December 2014. I found out last week my misses has cheated on me and I have partially decided to divorce her on the grounds of adultery.
My question is, how would this affect me in the long haul as my visa has only been issued a year ago and my marriage was of only just over a year. I do know, from what I have read in the forum and elsewhere that you can still apply for a permanent residency after my RC ends in 5 years if you have been married for 3 years or more. However I am going to apply for divorce on the grounds of adultery, would it be a different case for me ?
And also I would like if anyone could explain what Retained rights of residence is all about, as I can seem to grasp what it says on GOV.UK website.
Please do keep in mind, due to previous blunders, I have been considered as a overstayer.
I would really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this.
With regards and a happy new Year
