Correct there is every likelyhood she will be able to stay. I would add though that the immigration rule dealing with domestic violence is very liberally interpreted. Get the ball rolling now. Get her to a GP now. Introduce her to the local womens domestic violence organization. Get a good ( legal Aid ) Immigration solicitor or go to the Immigration Advisory Service. Its helpful if there is a police report but it is not essential. Anyone who has seen the injuries can be a witness in any application to the Home Office. Good luck Richard

Finally a lucid reply.

But unless you actually witnessed the injuries being inflicted by the husband the fact is the statement will have little or no evidential value to the proceedings and is unlikely to be worth the paper its written on.

You hit her?

Should you be commenting on this thread (or, indeed, this forum?).

I assume you would 'do the right thing' and let her beat the sh!t out of you ?
