You can apply for a proposed civil partner visa as a proposed civil partner of a British Citizen or settled person to register your civil partnership in the UK.
Once you are in the UK on a proposed civil partner visa, you can then switch to a civil partner visa as soon as you register your civil partnership.
The Civil Partner visa application will be considered under Appendix FM of the immigration rules. If you meet all the requirements under Appendix FM of the immigration rules, you will be granted 2.5 years leave to remain under 5 years route to settlement and then after 5 years, you will be eligible to apply for ILR.
You must meet all the following requirements under Appendix FM to apply proposed civil partner visa to enter in the UK:
To demonstrate that you can be adequately maintained in the UK without recourse to public funds, you must satisfy the financial requirement as required under Appendix FM.
The financial requirement for a proposed civil partner visa is that you will need to demonstrate that your partner (or both of you jointly if you are in the UK with valid leave to remain) has a gross annual income of at least:
You may be able to seek exemption from the financial requirements under special circumstances. Get in touch with our leading immigration lawyers to find out if you need to meet the financial requirement.
Once you register your civil partnership in the UK, you can switch to a civil partner visa under 5 years route to settlement. After spending 5 years under the civil partner visa route, you will be eligible to apply for ILR. This visa is also known as switching from proposed civil partner to spouse visa. You will submit the application using an online application form of FLR(M).
There are many reasons why a proposed civil partner visa application may be refused or rejected. To curtail fraudulent ‘sham’ relationships,’ the Home Office, UKVI closely scrutinises proposed civil partner visa applicants.
Even though you won’t receive a refund for your refused application, you may still be able to appeal the Home Office’s decision and overturn the original application. It doesn’t matter if you began your application alone or with a third-party immigration consultant. We are here to assist you when you submit your appeal.
