The Civil Partner visa application will be considered under Appendix FM of the immigration rules. If you meet all the requirements under Appendix FM of the immigration rules, you will be granted 2.5 years leave to remain under 5 years route to settlement and then after 5 years, you will be eligible to apply for ILR.

Requirements For Civil Partner Visa

You must meet all the following requirements under Appendix FM to apply proposed civil partner visa to enter in the UK:

  1. You must have met each other;
  2. You must be in the UK with valid leave to remain;
  3. You must have the intention to live together in the UK;
  4. Evidence of civil partnership;
  5. You must meet financial requirements under Appendix FM;
  6. You must meet the English language requirement; and
  7. You must have adequate accommodation to live with your UK spouse without recourse to public funds.

Financial requirement for Civil Partner Visa

To demonstrate that you can be adequately maintained in the UK without recourse to public funds, you must satisfy the financial requirement as required under Appendix FM.

The financial requirement for the civil partner visa is that you will need to demonstrate that your partner (or both of you jointly if you are in the UK with valid leave to remain) has a gross annual income of at least:

  • £18,600; plus
  • £3,800 for a first child (who is not British, settled or an EEA national); plus
  • £2,400 for each additional child (who is not British, settled or an EEA national).

You may be able to seek exemption from the financial requirements under special circumstances.

Adequate Accommodation for Civil Partner Visa

Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules say the applicant must provide evidence:

  • To show they can maintain and accommodate themselves and any dependants in the UK without recourse to the public funds. And
  • There will be adequate accommodation in the UK, for themselves and/or family, without recourse to public funds. This includes any family members not included in the application, but who live in the same household.

Accommodation will not be adequate if:

  • it is overcrowded
  • it contravenes public health regulations.

Challenge Civil Partner Visa Refusal

There are many reasons why a civil partner visa application may be refused or rejected. To curtail fraudulent ‘sham’ relationships,’ the Home Office, UKVI closely scrutinises civil partner visa applicants. Even though you won’t receive a refund for your refused application, you may still be able to appeal the Home Office’s decision and overturn the original application. It doesn’t matter if you began your application alone or with a third-party immigration consultant. We are here to assist you when you submit your appeal.
