"Apply on the basis of your private life"

[cent2016]

Hi,
Could someone kindly point me to any specific postings relating to the UK immigration visa category: Apply on the basis of your private life on this forum.

Admin/Moderators, is there a way that one could 'search' for a specific topic of interest on this platform, for ease of access and to avoid repeat posting?

Hello,
If there is no existing discussion on this topic, could someone kindly give me an information about the requirements for this route of application for a single person who meets the criteria, and possible rate of success.

Hi,
My situation is:
Been living in the UK continuously for 21years-from 1998.
Had entered the UK on tourist visa, changed to student visa, married an EEA citizen who stopped working and was claiming benefits, hence could not extend. Later convinced her to start work again, did that long enough to allow me to apply again and was granted another 5years, before she went back on benefits.
Divorced the EEA national and got married to a UK citizen, was granted 2.5years, lived together, but marriage has broken down. My renewal is due but she has refused to support me. She is now applying for a divorce in order to prevent my extension.

Can I quickly add that between 2006 -2009, I went through appeal and tribunal processes which failed.
Between 2009-2011, I lived in the UK illegally, before I was granted another 5 years in 2011 as a dependent of the same EU citizen.
