ILR as a Bereaved Partner
About ILR as a Bereaved Partner
If your British or settled spouse or partner has passed away while you were on the partner route, you may be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain as a bereaved partner. This route recognises that your life was built in the UK and that you should not lose your status because of bereavement. The application requires evidence of the relationship, of your partner's death and of your continued connection to the UK. RakLAW Solicitors handle these applications with sensitivity and prepare the legal and factual case carefully.

- Those needing settlement after a recent loss
