Hello, my name is***** hope you are well today. I am a qualified Solicitor, and I will be able to help you by providing you with an answer to your question today. I specialise in UK and Irish Law. I am not always online but rest assured if I do not respond immediately I will respond when I return.

Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your question or anything else you would like to add before we continue?

Your partner can apply for a family visa to come and live with you if they’re either:

• your husband proposed civil partner or fiancé

• your partner who you’ve lived with for at least 2 years

Your partner can only apply for a family visa if he has one of the following:

• British citizenship

• Irish citizenship - you must be living or have lived in the UK

• indefinite leave to remain or right of abode

• refugee status or humanitarian protection

• settled status from the EU Settlement Scheme

Furthermore, if you're applying for him, their visa will last for 6 months - they must marry you or become your civil partner before this ends if they want to stay in the UK.

They can then apply as your partner for leave to remain for 2 years and 6 months. At the end of this, they can extend it again for the same length of time.

If they meet the requirements of these visas, they can apply to settle in the UK after a total of 5 years.

Is there anything else I can help with today?
