Bigamy/Deception UK Spouse Visa
I found out my wife entered into a marriage of covenience with a EEA citizen while still married to me. We still live together as husband and wife. They've submitted an application for a spouse visa. She's done the biometrics
Will she be subject to a 10 year ban? Will the Home Office follow up on my information?
Can I apply for a visitor's visa to see a friend or will I be impacted by her pending application? My friend sent an invitation letter for her and I. Should I have her just send letter for me? I have no intention to settle there. I am a employed here in Canada and i'm very connected to my community. We're both citizens of Barbados and permanent residents in Canada.
Thanks in advance.

Everyone in theory is approved or denied on their own merits. Even if a person is affected by a related persons crime, in your case chances of an adverse effect are remote considering you’re the one who reported the crime.

That of course would be preferable. Extricating yourself from an association with such a blatant law breaker would be viewed positively by all parties including UK immigration.
Will he be subject to a 10 year ban? Will the Home Office follow up on my information?
He will if it’s investigated and conclusive evidence is established. Under the current immigration climate, that is very likely.Tolerance for illegal immigration is at perhaps an all time low.
