There is an attachment tab at the bottom when you post a reply but it doesn't always work. You would need to black out all personal details.
The fee is correct for fiance or unmarried partner. Do you know if your solicitor also paid £600 IHS??
No I couldn’t find that we payed.
There are fees for solicitor, application fee and priority service
on December 11th 2017 you made an application for entry clearance to the UK and appendix FM to be immigration rules on the basis of your family life with your partner.
your application has been considered under those rules, and with reference to Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
this decision takes into account as a primary consideration the best interest of any relevant child in line with sections 55 of the borders citizenship and Immigration Act 2009.
we have considered your application under the paragraph EC- P1.1. of appendix FM. however you did not qualify to entry clearance under the 5-year partner route for the following reasons:
Suitability:
Your application does not fall for refusal on grounds of suitability under Section E-ECP of appendix FM.
Eligibility:
You meet the eligibility requirements of section E-ECP of appendix FM.
Eligibility relationship requirement:
You do not meet the eligibility relationship requirement of paragraph E-ECP 2.1 to 2.10 because the requirements for the entry clearance as a partner are set out in section EC-P of appendix FM to the immigration rules. However, for the purposes of that section as a partner is defined in paragraph GEN 1.2. of appendix FM as the applicant’s spouse, civil partner, fiancée or proposed civil partner, or a person who has been living together in a relationship akin to a marriage or civil partnership for at least 2 years prior to the date of application.
From the information provided it appears that whilst I acknowledge that you have been in relationships since 18 March 2017, you state you have lived together since June 2017 therefore you have not been living together for at least 2 years. Therefore, you didn’t fulfill the definition of a partner and cannot meet the requirements of section EC-P. Your application is therefore reduced under paragraph ECP 1.2. (D) of the immigration rules.
Eligibility financial requirement
You meet the eligibility financial requirement of paragraph E-ECP 3.1-3.4
Eligibility English language requirements
You meet the eligibility English language requirements of paragraph E-ECP 4.1-4.2
Exceptional circumstances
We have considered under paragraphs GEN 3.1 and GEN 3.2 of appendix FM as applicable, whether there are exceptional circumstances in your case which would or could render refusal a breach of article 8 of the ECHR becoase it could or would result in unjustifiably harsh consequences for you and your family. In so doing we have taken into account, under paragraph GEN 3.3. of appendix FM , the best interest of any relevant child as a primary consideration.
However, based upon the information and / evidence you have provided we are satisfied that the minimum income requirement is not met , and we have decided that you do not meet the financial requirement under paragraph E-ECP 3.1 to E-ECP 3.4 of appendix FM.
We have also considered your application under paragraph GEN 3.2. of appendix FM. We have concluded there are no exceptional circumstances in your case which would render refusal a breach of article 8 of the ECHR because it would result in unjustifiably harsh consequences for you, your partner, a relevant child or another family member.
You have provided no information or evidence to establish that there are any exceptional circumstances in your case.
Refusal under the partner rules
In light of the above, your application is refused under paragraph D-EVP 1.3 of appendix FM with reference to paragraph EC-P 1.1 (a), (b) and (d) and you do not qualify for entry clearance on the 5-year partner route, or on the 10-year partner route on the babsis of exceptional circumstances under appendix FM.
Compassionate factors
You do not fall for a grant of entry clearance outside the immigration rules on the basis of compassionate factors.
We have decided that, based on the information you have provided there are no compassionate factors in your case that warrant a grant of entry clearance outside the immigration rules.
