ILR under T2 PBS Dep

[UKRio]

Hi Gurus,

On behalf of a friend:

I'm on T2 PBS Dep Visa, lived in the UK for just over 6yrs now. Married but recently we are not on good terms it's been now a year and a half. My partner has settled 2 yrs ago and is now a British citizen since last year.

We both still live together with our child 3yrs old British citizen (after my partner settled) but everyone to his own life...

I'm planning on applying for the ILR without informing him (as we don't speak with each other, and I have a feeling the relationship may end with a divorce soon..).

There was a small case a year or so with the police, as I reported him for domestic violence, but was released the next day with no evidence, and I retracted the claim...

1- Do I still need him for my application as T2 PBS for ILR?
2- What route is best for me to get ILR?
3- I don't pay bills, council tax, or rent, although I'm a joint tenant and I'm working full time, with a decent salary. Will this be a problem for evidence.
4- Is there a chance my visa can be curtailed if my partner informs the HO? and how long it can take to become so.
5- I only have 6mths to sort out my situation, is there enough time?

Awaiting your replies...

Thank you all in advance.

Yes.

Thank you guys for getting back to me.

@Casa I had a look at the link, and I believe this is for when the situation of someone is clear (Separation/Divorce finalized)... but in my situation, the relationship is definitely broken-down but no paper to prove it, that's I'm still confused...

Could you or someone else help answer my questions numbered?

@vinny thanks for the important link. But I'm still a bit confused about what will I need from him: do I need his consent, his passport...etc? can you or someone else please clarify this point fro me.

Many thanks

@vinny thanks for the important link. But I'm still a bit confused about what will I need from him: do I need his consent, his passport...etc? can you or someone else please clarify this point fro me.

Yes. Probably all of the above.

Also:

SW 39.3.

If applying as a partner, the applicant and the person (P) in SW 39.1. must meet

APP SW23.

the relationship requirement in SW 29.2 to SW 29.4.

and must have met them throughout the 5 years ending on the date of application.
