Hello everyone, I'm interested in finding out of my partner would qualify for the unmarried partner visa in the uk. We are not yet married and have been living together for more than 2 years but the documentation in proving this is difficult. We don't have a joint account and my name is not on the tenancy here where we live in Brazil. We have together a Uniao Estavel (Stable union partnership) which we completed in September 2017 in order for us to continue to live together in Brazil after my tourist visa expired (the uniao estavel i similar to a civil partnership in the uk but im not sure if there is equivalence). We dont have a joint account or joint bills. I've payed the gas bill here for the last 12 months and this has our address on. My immigration documents in brazil have our old address on and we have the apostiled living together agreement but im unsure as to whether we'd qualify at this moment in time.
Part of my confusion comes from knowing that i'd need to earn the yearly 18,600 pro rata over 6 months to qualify, i can do this, but it would mean living apart for 6 months of course and then i wonder how this effects the idea we're meant to be living together for 2 years in order to qualify? I have a permanent family visa here in brazil linked to our and my partners name is on the visa registered as my partner.
Of course we have masses of correspondence between us since we met in 2015 and also since we started to live together in May 2016, we have photos etc but im unsure if these would be helpful or not.
Maybe it would just be worth getting married? Neither of us are massively hot on the idea of doing this just to influence a visa process though.
Any thoughts or help you could provide would be really welcome!
