Victim of Domestic violence

If you have been a victim of domestic violence or abuse, you may be entitled to apply for indefinite leave to remain. You must have been in a relationship with someone who is a British Citizen or holds settled status in the UK. You will be required to show that your relationship has broken down as a result of domestic violence. Domestic violence has a broad definition; it can be classified as an incident(s) of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse. The abuse can take many forms, such as sexual, mental, physical, financial or psychological. You may also be able to apply for a fee waiver if you are considered to be destitute by the Home Office. You will need to provide evidence of this to the Home Office.
