EU Settlement Scheme Unmarried Partner
Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2024 10:31 am
I'm currently applying for ILR under the EU settlement scheme as an unmarried partner.
My EU partner and I moved to UK back in 2016. I was granted a 5-year resident permit then. After Brexit, we both applied for Settlement status, as we thought we were entitled to (in 2021). However, we were granted Pre-settlement status for another 5 years (until 2026).
We now believe I can apply for Settlement, which I just did and they are asking for evidence of my residence and proof of relationship.
We never married so we don't have a marriage certificate.
He is no longer a UK taxpayer as he got a job in USA and needs to be registered there.
We don't have joint bank accounts.
Legally speaking it looks like he doesn't live in this country and the only docs I have to prove we are still together are his UK bank account statements linked to my home address.
When I went to submit my evidence, my current application was no longer on the HO website and I could only submit it under the application I did back in Dec 2020?
Is this an error? I submitted it anyway, but I'm very confused and worried that will not go through.
Any advice and reassurance would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
