ILR After Domestic Abuse
About ILR After Domestic Abuse
If your relationship with a British citizen or settled partner has broken down because of domestic abuse, you may be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in your own right. This route is designed to protect survivors from being forced to choose between their immigration status and their safety. The Home Office expects evidence of the abuse and of the relationship breakdown. RakLAW Solicitors deal with these applications with care, confidentiality and clarity, helping you assemble the right evidence and put the strongest possible case forward.
