Hello
I have a residence card for 5 years still available until to 2022. It is a family member type but I will divorce this month and the ex saying she will cancel that residence card and I will be forced to leave the country. I have all my things here. I don't have where to go. Please help me with the right answer to knowing what can happen after I divorce with my visa. Thank in advance.

How long have you been married and how long have you been resident in the UK?

I think that you can apply for settled/ presettled status and explain in a covering letter your situation. As far as I understand you do not have divorse paper as yet?

Also I am sure that your wife is not in a power of cancelling your residence card.

Or the best option for you is to apply for divorse officially:

Once you get your final divorse paper, you will have to apply for settled/ presetteled status under category of retained rights (apply online)/
