I am planning to apply for ILR (long Residence) in Apr as my 10 years lawful residence will be completed by then.
5 Years as Student
2 Years on PSW
Almost 3 Years and 6 Month as Unmarried Partner of EU Citizen granted Resident Permit on basis of relationship.
I am employed for and have descent Salary.
As far as I understand I do need to prove that my EU partner exercising treaty rights.
She had WRC back in 2010 , She was partially self employed and and currently part time employed since Dec 2013 and was house wife as we have three years old child since we are together.
We do live together and I am main supporting person in terms of expenses.
I have all my passports during 10 years , Mater degree taught in English , P60's and Payslips through out.
Would last three Bank Statements and Payslips and possibly one P60 from her employ would be sufficient to prove that she is exercising treaty rights or Do I to provide a covering letter about her Self Employment and period she wasnt working with the reason.
I would appreciate any help on this case.
If you are applying via the Set (LR) you will only need the following :
Passport with all your visas
2 x photographs
Application form
biometric card
Life in the UK test certificate
English Language competence or Degree Certifacate
£1,093 Application fee
No income statements required
U can incorporate a cover letter with your application quoting the letters of law, however, the application form is adequate on its own
Alternative option is that since u have been an Unmarried partner visa FLR (M) u could extend it to Set(M) However, the HO appears at times to require to see a Marriage certificate as the Unmarried status was assumed to lead to Marriage ultimately. For better clarity suggest also posting your question on the Set (M) forum so u can get some pointers from experts
For me the 10 year Route is a more straight forward option for you
