Determining Statelessness
In the United Kingdom, the rules on statelessness are set out in the British Nationality Act 1981 and the Immigration Rules. According to these rules, a person is considered stateless if they are not recognized as a national by any country.
If a person is found to be stateless in the UK, they may be eligible to apply for stateless leave to remain. This is a type of immigration status that allows the person to remain in the UK temporarily, usually for up to 30 months, while they try to obtain nationality in another country.
To be eligible for stateless leave to remain, the person must meet certain criteria, including:
• They must be stateless and not hold any other nationality or citizenship.
• They must have made reasonable efforts to obtain a nationality or citizenship from another country.
• They must be able to demonstrate that they are unable to leave the UK or return to their country of origin due to a lack of documentation or other compelling reasons.
If a person is granted stateless leave to remain, they will be entitled to work and study in the UK during the period of their leave. They may also be able to access certain public services, such as healthcare and housing.
Todays question was about domestic violence to partners of skilled workers. Sorry to say the Domestic Violence rule does not cover skilled workers. The rational probably is that the skilled work visa is a temporary visa allowing residence in exchange for work. The partner of permanent residents route is much different there is permanence in the equations and this allows for relief in situations where there is domestic abuse. My answer is regrettably, if you leave your marriage as a skilled worker for a domestic abuse reason, then unless you have an alternative reason to apply to remain in the UK - you should consider leaving to resume your life in the last country you lived in or otherwise your country of origin.
This is not as tricky as it sounds, what you need know first of all is whether you meet the financial requirement with demonstrable earning of £29.000 in the year of the application. Therefore if you have had more than one job, it can be the cumulative amount that count towards the relevant figure. The UKVI require evidence of the work you are undertaking such as contracts, pay remits, bank statements and other documents that show you are in genuine employment. It is open to them to make checks to verify information you choose to submit.
