he is providing me accommodation here and financial support as well, I'm not claiming anything from home office
I claimed asylum in 2016 Feb here in UK on base of that I'm gay,

No one can give you a guarantee on either question.

1. We haven't seen all the evidence you submitted, apart from the fact that you are gay and are from Iraq

2. It's impossible to say how long it will take for a decision, as each case is different.

We can't give a "percentage chance". We don't work for HO or know what their inner department processes are.

As a matter of interest, why didn't you apply for an Unmarried Partner visa from Iraq instead of submitting an asylum claim? Or have you not lived together for the required 2 years for a UPV?

Ah! Best continue there then, with far more background. And in the original thread I see the OP & Partner had actually lived together for 2 years in Iraq...in this one it appears not. :|
