Hi, thanks for your reply... I have search the forums extensively, but I can't find anything which matches my question... Most of them talk about Husband / Wife visas and even those don't really say what happens on the day.blessed78 wrote:have you searched? Try PEO Croydon maybe. There are loads of stories.
Tahnyuh, We are planning to apply at the end of October. What about you - When you do plan to apply?tahnyuh wrote:I'm looking to apply for this as well. Very interested in what others have to say!
Paul - when do you plan on applying?
Cassa, thanks for your reply.Casa wrote:You say you're applying for an Unmarried Partner Visa. What is your current situation? i.e visa status? Do you have documented proof that you have been living together in 'a relationship akin to marriage' for a minimum of 24 months. i.e joint financial reponsibilities, tenancy or mortage? You actually need a minimum of 6 different pieces of evidence (not 3) spread as evenly as possible over the full 2 years from 3 different categories.For example, council tax, official letters, utility bills. UPV's tend to come under even stricter scrutiny than married (spouse) applications.
If you're not 100% sure that you have a strong application then it would be better to apply by post rather than in person at a PEO. Checking officers at PEO's are not able to make a decision on the day for anything in the application that requires further investigation.
All that the eco would want to see are bills addressed to you both at the same address (for the living together requirement). I'm assuming all of his mail was still coming to your house? If so, then no need to worry.shashika wrote:Hello,
Thank you for the discussion it has been very helpful!
I also have a question. I am also thinking of applying under this visa, I have been living with my partner for about 4 years now. But my parents came to visit recently and stayed for three months during this time my partner moved in with his family because they just cannot get along. We were still together and there are text messages and phone records that can show that can evidence this. Will this affect my application. I want to apply in person, even if they tell me that they need to consider my application but am not sure if this is wise.
Sorry but this visa is harder to get in comparison to the other partner based visas. So it's very important that you have bills in both your names.verityrose wrote:Hi,
I've been reading this post and I'm actually going to go ahead with this together with my boyfriend right now.
I have a question. We currently don't rent, and the flat we live in is bought by his father. My bf has been living here for 15 years, we have been together for 4 years, and living together for 3. Before I moved in with him he has been paying all his house bills jointly with his father, and subsequently I moved in the arrangements remained the same, i.e I did not pay for any costs as it is paid by him and his father. Is this detrimental to my application and how else can I prove that we are in a serious parthership? (even though we don't share bills?)
Also how quick is it to see someone to get this sorted at the UKBA Public Offices, its already Tuesday would I be likely to see them by this friday? (is there a long queue?)
Thanks hope you have some advise soon really appreciate it!
