The requirements of a Spouse visa/Unmarried Partner/Civil Partner visa!

THE 5 YEAR PERIOD – Initial Visa for 30 months

After a 5-year period, you can apply for settlement (ILR) in the UK. In order to be successful in the shorter 5 year period, you will need to satisfy all the requirements. These would include;

Suitability
Relationship
Immigration Status
Financial Situation
English Language

In the circumstances where the above requirements are met and you are placed on the 5-year route to settlement, then you should be given an initial visa for a period of 30 months.

However, should you not meet all of the requirements but meet the suitability requirement and if you fall into one of the categories in the exceptions, then you may be granted a visa as part of the 10-year route to settlement.
