Unmarried partner as dependent under tier 2 visa

[Paulynnjian]

My boyfriend will be going to the UK to work under the Tier 2 (general) visa and I intend to move there to be with him during his stint in the UK.
My main concern is if I will be eligible to apply as his dependent under unmarried partner category for his Tier 2 (general) visa. We have been staying together for more than two years and we have documents to prove our relationship.

We have:
- 1.5 years rental agreement
After 1.5 years we moved to his parents home for about 10 months (I have letters from my work place addressed to that address for 6 months)
- Joint bank account for more than two years

Please advise if above documents are strong enough to prove our relationship. If not what else do I need.

In the event that my application for unmarried partner is rejected will I be barred for a period of time from applying another type of visa?

thank you!

I don't know the answer specifically but unmarrieds are always scrutinised deeply so you definitely need 100% concrete evidence, duly notarised.

hi there,

just wondering if you could please share an update on how you went with your application? Was it successful? and if so what exactly did you provide?

any tips for a similar situation would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
