Flr fp 10 years partner

[Serg7]

Hello members,
Please accept my apologies if this is the wrong place.
I am looking for your advice.
My friend on flr fp 10 years as a partner. He is on the second 2.5 years at the moment. Unfortunately, they marriage has been ended after 8 years in September 2020. His ex spouse is British citizen. He come to UK in 2004 as a student. His visa was expired. Married to British citizen in 2011 in the UK and after many applications, visa was granted in 2017. In 2022 when he needs to renew it he will have been lived in this country for 18 years. Now he is 36 and came when he was 20
I would like to know if HO will revoke his visa when he informs them as I believe he has to do it.
Will he be able to apply on his on in 2022 based on a private life?

Kind regards,

Just by living merely for 10 years doesn't award you anything by default rather there are some inexcusable requirements such as the maintenance of legal residence. In your case he was granted the visa in 2017 after overstaying which means he even won't be qualified in 2022 if by miracle he won't receive any curtailment.

Thanks for getting back to me.
So in this situation he won't be able to apply in 2022 as a long residence. Is there any other chances to continue his legal status?
What will happen to his current status after he inform HO?
Kind regards,

FLR fp private life which will be a new 10 year route to ilr, can be applied for if someone has been in the UK for 20 years

[Serg7]

Thank you for your answer.
So as I can see, he will not be able to do anything else, unless he gets in relationship with someone.

So will he need to contact HO and tell them about his changes? Will he be able to stay legally in UK till he has to renew his visa?

Does he have any children so that he can apply via Parent route?

If the sponsor will report to UKVI about the breakdown of relationship then the existing visa will be curtailed.

Thanks for your reply guys.
I am really appreciate it.
They don't have any children.
I wander if a private life can be reason for applying as 18 years I believe is a lot.
You have mentioned that visa is going to be curtailed if sponsor decides to inform HO. I was under impression that it does not apply for FLR Fp 10 year based on outside rules and sponsor visa is requires after 5 years.

Looking for your advice.
Kind regards

My friend on flr fp 10 years as a partner.

If that is the case then curtailment can be triggered on reporting

[Serg7]

Thanks for getting back to me.
May I ask what shall he do in this case regarding contacting HO? Will he need to get a legal advice, or it will not help?
Kind regards

Other than waiting n seeing as what further happens next, there is nothing much can be done as such for the time being.

As someone who been through marriage breakdown myself, i understand how difficult it must have been for your friend.
As i can see from your post,
He isn't eligible for set lr until 2027 ( if he can continue his legal status).
He isn't eligible for flr fp under 20 years until 2024
Since there isn't any child involved, he can't switch to flr fp parent.
Even if his ex doesn't report it to ukvi about marriage breakdown, he may have to let them know when he applies for whatever category in 2022 anyway. And the date of relationship breakdown could put him on difficult spot.

Its applicant's duty to report the ukvi about relationship breakdown. My take would be to inform ukvi about relationship breakdown as soon as possible. And without waiting for curtailment letter, he should apply for flr fp private life (Application On The Basis Of Very Significant Obstacles To Integration In Country Of Origin.)
In the cover letter he can say he is separated from his British partner and he has informed the home office about it, and can include the copy and receipt of special delivery.
If he can demonstrate enough basis in which the application is based, he may get a grant.
