Hi, im a British citizen and my partner is Nigerian who has been an overstayer since 2015. We moved in together January 2017. January 2019 is going to be the 2 year of which we could then put in our application for cohabitation. I had a job of which I was able to prove I was earning 18600 per annum. 30 Nov 2018 (Friday Gone) I was made redundant from work

Now this means I have been out of employment for a few days and I am worried of how long it may take me to find another job. The problem is I have almost a year wageslips to prove 18600 earning however, since November has now been my last pay I am worried of what I can do. When I submit an application would I have to wait another 6 months to have the required income or would I be able to submit application based on the payslips I have up until November and prove I am working if I am to get a new job soon. I am really worried and don't know who to ask.
