Switching to 5 year Parent Route

[hatchsead]

I and my wife are currently on the 10 year family rule at the moment, however, we have 2 children who are already British citizens.

I and my wife are still marriage but would like to switch to the 5 year parent route if possible as out first 30 months visa is due for renewal in the next few weeks.

Is it possible for I and my wife to switch to the 5 year parent route despite the fact that we are still in a relationship/ marriage?

I am a bit unsure as one of the conditions stated on the 5 year parent states that one should no longer be in relationship with the other parent of the child and the relationship must be broken.

What are my chances if I choose to apply for this route while married to the other parent?

The reason am asking is to find out if anyone has been successful switching onto this route while they are still in an unbroken relationship with the other partner.

Obviously, it's a shorter route leading to ILR faster when compared to the 10 year route.

Similar short route is also available under partner category which is FLRM if she pass A1 ielts life skills English language test and either of you is earning sufficient income of £18600 per year or have £62500 six months old savings.

The FLR(M) is an application that is based on the marriage of an individual to a person that is already settled in the UK, under the Appendix FM. However, it is not enough to be married to an English citizen to get this permission. In order to do so, you will have to meet all the requirements, including your status in the UK and the Financial Requirement. If the requests are met, then you will get a 2.5-year in the 5-year partner route.

However, I and my wife are both currently on 2.5 years and neither of us have ILR nor citizenships so may not qualify hence trying to see if we can switch to the FLR(FP) 5 years parent route rather than renewing and continuing on the 10 year route for the two of us.

I don’t think that there is a five year route under these circumstances.
