Our UK Unmarried Partner Visa Process

1. Free Consultation and Eligibility Review You'll speak directly with a qualified immigration solicitor — not a paralegal, not a call handler. They'll assess your case, spot any potential issues early, and give you an honest picture of where you stand.

2. Evidence Collection Strategy Forget generic checklists. We build an evidence plan around your specific relationship history, so nothing important gets missed and nothing irrelevant wastes your time.

3. Application Preparation and Review We prepare every document carefully and cross-check everything before it goes anywhere near the Home Office. The details matter, and we treat them that way.

4. Submission and Monitoring Once submitted, we don't disappear. We monitor your application, keep you updated at every stage, and handle any requests from the Home Office directly.

5. Decision Support If your application is granted, we'll advise you on your route to settlement. If it's refused, we'll tell you promptly what your options are and help you decide on the best next step.

How We Strengthen an Unmarried Partner Application

Every application is prepared by a qualified, SRA-regulated immigration solicitor — not a call centre or an unregulated adviser. In practice that means:

  • Building cohabitation and durable-relationship evidence that meets the Appendix FM requirements.
  • Matching your financial evidence to the correct category before you apply.
  • Confirming English-language and accommodation evidence against the current rules.
  • Flagging anything that needs resolving before submission rather than after a refusal.

Call 0203 355 9823 or email info@abrahamssolicitors.co.uk to arrange your free consultation. We will tell you honestly where your evidence needs strengthening.

Common Questions

UK Unmarried Partner Visa FAQ

Plain-English answers to the questions we hear most often about uk unmarried partner visa.

Ask Us Anything

You'll generally need to show that you've been living together in a relationship similar to marriage for the period set out in Appendix FM — usually at least two years immediately before you apply. And it needs to be continuous cohabitation, not just occasional stays. We'll confirm exactly what's required and what evidence you need to provide at your consultation.

Getting a visa for an unmarried partner is a different process to a spouse visa, but both routes are more similar than people often realise. The big difference comes down to proof: if you're married or in a civil partnership, your certificate does the heavy lifting. If you're not, you'll need to show evidence that you've been living together in a genuine, durable relationship — think joint tenancy agreements, shared bank statements, that sort of thing. Here's the thing though — once you get past that distinction, both visa types have to meet exactly the same financial requirement under Appendix FM. The income threshold has changed recently, so don't rely on old figures you might have seen online. Check the current number directly on GOV.UK: gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse.

Depending on the reasons and your decision letter, you may be able to appeal, apply for an administrative review, or make a fresh application. Time limits are short, so contact us quickly. We review the decision and advise on the strongest route. Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome.

We agree fixed fees in writing before any work starts — covering eligibility assessment, document preparation, submission, and progress monitoring. The exact figure depends on your circumstances, and we'll confirm it during your free consultation. Home Office fees are separate; they're set by the Home Office, not us. You can check the current amounts at gov.uk.

Yes. We offer a free initial consultation where you'll speak directly to a qualified immigration solicitor, get an honest assessment of your case, and receive a fixed-fee quote tailored to your circumstances. Call 0203 355 9823 to arrange yours.

Joint bank statements, a shared tenancy agreement, utility bills and council tax documents in both names — these all help build your case. So do shared insurance policies, photos taken together over time, correspondence addressed to you both, and witness statements from people who know you as a couple. We'll help you pull it all together in a way that directly addresses what the Home Office is looking for.
