❗Pre-Settled -- Settled URGENTLY NEED ADVICE PLEASE⛺❗

[Tee888]

Hi everyone, please I will be due for Settled Status (Paper Application) in October 2024.

I am Non-EU, partner is British and we have two British children, first child was born in Ireland so she's Irish & British.

Partner exercised treaty rights in Ireland before we relocate to the UK.

We augrment and due to religious purposes I do not want a divorce. (I know this is not a law) It's a personal preference.

Now, partner (British citizen is no longer in the UK left about 2 years ago).

I have been a staying home mum, looking after the kids so I have not been working since arriving in 2019, but I do have an NI.

I can prove my 5 years in the UK, with Bank statements, water bill, other letters, letter addressed to my kids.

If I am to prove or asked to send, that partner resides in the UK, the council tax is in his name but in debt and he has mortgage statements, other letters and his own bank statements.

Since we both lived in the same address before he left and besides I and the kids are still in the address.

My question is, come October can I still Apply for my settled status, without him, will I be eligible?

Please advise, and if I am not eligible can I switch to depend on my children and would I have to start counting 5 years again?

OR would I be able to apply for settled status based on:

A durable partner, someone who is (or for the relevant period was) in a durable relationship with the sponsoring person, with the couple having lived together in a relationship akin to a marriage or civil partnership for 2 years or more, unless there is other significant evidence of the durable relationship.

I thank you all in advance, your comments and time is appreciated.

Hi, how long have you been married to your spouse? If it's been at least 3 years before your separation then you can apply to retain your rights or come October, just apply stating retained rights of residence since spouse had moved from the UK but you also should let the home office know that your situation has changed
