If he is switching for the first time, he would need A1 but many people do higher test if they competent enough to do B1 which they use for future applications. There's no priority options at the moment for family visas applications within UK and he can apply anytime before his leave is due to expire. There's no financial requirement but adequate maintenance must be met.

parent of a British person(me).

Financial requirements

E-LTRPT.4.1. The applicant must provide evidence that they will be able to adequately maintain and accommodate themselves and any dependants in the UK without recourse to public funds, unless paragraph EX.1. applies.

E-LTRPT.4.2. The applicant must provide evidence that there will be adequate accommodation in the UK, without recourse to public funds, for the family, including other family members who are not included in the application but who live in the same household, which the family own or occupy exclusively, unless paragraph EX.1. applies: accommodation will not be regarded as adequate if-

• (a) it is, or will be, overcrowded; or
• (b) it contravenes public health regulations.

However, there are complications, if there’s a partner or two parents.

My question was about the Immigration status of the other unmarried partner.

[NG1983]

[vinny]

Cannot apply as a parent, if there’s an eligible partner.

You are correct. There is also a financial requirement for unmarried partners under the 5 year route.
