yup, i got mine approved, i am not proud of it but if i can surely you can.

i am just in the middle of my kids' application to come and join me in the uk, i'd be more than willing to help but i am flying out on tuesday to be with my two little angels whom half of their lives i haven't seen.

with regards to your situation if you have decided to stay and seek for your permanent residency, i suggest you collect all the documents that would prove that you have been a victim of domestic violence. i know it's not a nice thing but at the moment that is your best way to stay and live in the uk.

when i was assaulted by my husband, friends we're around and i was able to pick up the pieces and start again. it's not a nice thing to go through i have been thru it and i believe that no man or woman should experience it.

have you reported this? when it happened to me my friends pushed me to report it, had it reported to my gp and to police as well and that made my application really successful. i would suggest that you seek help and advice to cab, law societies as well and if you can prove it (i'm not saying you are not) but home office would definitely need the following:

1. medical report
2. police report (if there is)
3. your statement regarding the domestic violence

plus all your pertinent documents relating to your application. you have to include in your statement the reason why you wanted to apply to remain here after your marriage break up, you have to convince them that living in the uk is your best option.

i hope i was able to enlighten you and if you need anything else, please feel free to message me.

good luck and chin up.
