This allows you to remain in the UK independently of your sponsor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2>Who Is This Route For?<\/h2>\r\n    <p>This route is specifically for people who came to the UK as a partner or spouse of a British citizen or person settled in the UK, and whose relationship has ended due to domestic abuse.
