I am the one earning on a graduate visa - partner is a UK citizen - can I apply for a partner visa

[sunnyg1997]

I have currently been in the UK since September 2016 bar an 8 - 9 month gap where I was back home in singapore due to covid. I am currently in a 4 year relationship and on a graduate visa since graduating in 2024 July. I was looking to apply for a partner visa howver my partner does not currently have an income. I make 50k a year and was wondering if I am still able to apply for a partner visa

I am hoping that after my partner visa I qualify for ILR - 10 years on any visa

income from salaried or non-salaried employment of the partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work) - this is referred to as Category A or Category B, depending on the employment history...
