Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is well and safe!
I have a question... I have been with my partner for the last 3 years and now we are thinking of getting married since we love each other and getting my IRL would be much easier this way. However before we do so, I would like to understand whether this is really the case.
I'm a Turkish citizen and came to the UK on 11.09.2015 with a student visa to study for my Master's degree. Once my Master's was over in 2017, I got a Turkish Businessperson visa. I kept it for 1 year, but later on, I changed it to now called Global Talent visa and my visa expires around late 2024 now.
I and my partner have been discussing whether we should get married since we have been in a happy relationship for the last 3 years. What I am trying to understand is:
How long would it take me to get the IRL? Once I get the IRL, how long would it take me to become a citizen?
I know that there are certain restrictions when it comes to absences. Due to my work, I have to travel quite a lot - I probably have been out of the country for more than 450 days in the last 5 years. I'm not sure how this will affect my visa process. I couldn't find step by step guidance anywhere as well. If anyone has experience with this or know a good resource I can take a look at, that would be much appreciated!
Thank you!!!!!!!
