🔍 Understanding the Domestic Violence Concession
The Domestic Violence Concession is a UK immigration provision that may help if you're in the UK on a partner visa and have experienced domestic violence. This concession can allow you to apply for indefinite leave to remain without your partner's support.
Our volunteers can share their experiences and help you understand if this might apply to your situation, while connecting you with qualified legal professionals for formal advice.
Important: WENUK is not a legal advisory service. We provide peer support, shared experiences, and connections to trusted professional services.
