After you have lived legally in the UK for a certain length of time, you may be able to apply for permission to settle here. This is known as 'indefinite leave to remain' (ILR). This sometimes includes cases in which a foreign-National spouse has been abandoned by his or her British spouse, is a victim of domestic violence or the Foreign-National has left the British Citizen because of divorce and is now facing uncertainty regarding their immigration status.
