EEA4

[tontonben]

In 2007, i was issued with an EEA family member Residency Document because i had married an EEA citizen the previous year in 2006.
In 2008, we had a daughter who is now British citizen.
Unfortunaly, my marriage had it ups and down and my wife and I are currently divorcing.
However, in December 2012, i submitted an EEA4 application that was eventually withdrawn because my spouse asked the Home Office for her documentaion back.
The whole situation was a bit too much for me deal with and i was unfornately done for Drink Driving and this brough back my past to the forefront. In fact, a few years ago, i was an illegal immigrant and was convicted of benefit fraud, but on a diffrent name.
I left all of this behind since i got married. I am now in limbo as my employer kept asking for my Right to Work in th UK, which i can't proove since it had expired in december 2012.
In know i meet all the criterias to re-apply under the Retain Residency, but my concern are:
1 - Will I be denied Permanent Residency due to my previous and cuirrent convictions?
2 - What impact this could have an applying for British citizenship?

Any comments/guidances will be welcomed. I would greatly appreciate those from peolpe went through or are currently going throughthe same experience.
