Anyone here on a Unmarried Partner Visa?

You normally have to have been living with your partner for 2 years. If you are not living together or haven't been living together very long, there are other options. Are you planning on getting married, because he could always get a Fiance Visa and then you have to marry within 6 months. That's what I did, because although I had been with my partner for over a couple of years, we had only been living together for 6 months. Good luck : )

I married my husband (now ex) in Jan 98.  He was just visiting the US when we got married and so we had to go through all the immigration stuff to have him stay here.  Did you go to the interview alone?  If you missed the interview as well, the Immigration service will consider that an abandonment of your application.  If your application is no longer in process then your visa status may have expired - you may now be in the country illegally.  I would call an immigration attorney ASAP.

You can marry anyone you like, anytime you like.\nGetting a permanent residence visa has nothing to do with that.

It depends on what you want to do in UK.  You can try work permit or HSMP, but those are so difficult to get.  You need a job offer that requires at least Degree/NVQ level 2/ 3 years worth of work experience to qualify for work permit.  And your income has to be in the top 10% of the country where you have been working for the last 12 months, and need have at least a degree, and your partner has a degree or/and working in the field that requires a degree for HSMP.  \nMaybe you can try to apply for unmarried partnership visa with the UK person, if you guys have been living together for at least 2 years and can prove that by letters for both of you sent to the same address.  It will give you 2 years residency, and within this 2 years, you'll be able to work full time.  After that, if you are still together, you'll be able to apply for Leave to Remain Indefinite.  \nIf you are still in America now and thinking of coming to UK, and have not lived together for long enough, then the easiest thing you can do is to be a student and come here.  Just find a school with a full time course you want to do, and enrol into it, then pay the tuition.  Get them to write a visa letter to confirm your position in the course, and go to British Embassy with the application form and other requirements, such as your sufficient bank statement to apply for the visa.  With student visa, you'll be only able to work part time (under 20 hours per week) during term time and full time during holidays.  But if you guys start living together as soon as you come to UK, after 2 years you'll be qualified for unmarried visa.\nOr, if you have a grand parent or a parent born in UK, then you should be able to get UK ancestry visa.  Just check Home Office and UK Visa's website.  Also, don't forget to contack British Embassy in America, if you are there now.\nI hope those information I gave you is helpful.   Good luck.

He has to give you all support papers and proof of your relationship - letters, emails, etc..  You may be approved for a visit/tourist visa but not for immigration because you are not legally married yet.

I am, my husband is a foreigner. His family raised eyebrows at first but they were able to learn to accept it later. A lot of adjustments needed to fit in the society but it is all worth it becasue I have a wonderful partner, lover, husband and best friend at the same time for the rest of my life.

If the two of you have not met in person, you would be wise to visit each others countries first and get to know each other in person before making plans for marriage.  Hopefully it will work out for you, but you cannot know until you have spent time together in person, and really gotten to know each other.\n\nI agree, get a tourist visa first.  Seems you are putting the cart before the horse here.  Then, when the time comes to apply for immigration status, you will have everything covered and be ready to go.\n\nGood luck!

I have a fiancee' in another country, and can relate to what you and your boyfriend are going through. \n\nIt is extremely difficult to maintain a relationship at such a long distance. My fiancee' and I have dedicated our hearts and our lives to each other. We both are doing everything we can to bring each other physically back together again.  It has required incredible commitment from both of us to go through all that we have so far.\n\nYour relationship, unfortunately, has doubt and commitment issues fro what you have described. Such issues are tough enough to deal with when you are face-to-face let alone being thousands of miles apart. Assuming that one of you lives in America, dealing with the immigration and visa issues is going to be a task and huge commitment in itself. ANY doubt of commitment is going to show through when you two deal with these issues.\n\nIn my opinion, you need to bluntly find out if your boyfriend is actually willing to commit his life to you, and a good test is for him to work on getting a fiancee' visa for you to visit him or vice versa. If he is serious about getting married, then he will need to do this sooner or later. If he is not willing to commit at least to that, then there is no need to continue the relationship. \n\nGood luck to you!

it is a very very slim one...but if you are willing and ready for the adjustment in your whole life, take a chance but you better be well prepared for that. \n\nit will take a very long period to deal with, i know it from the heart cause i've been there. think of the consequence of the future (children i may say-illness or complications), consideration of each others culture, not only you and your partner but include the closest family as well. the food, the tradition, the language, religion, beliefs, i know there are lots of barriers that needs ironing out. just naming the fews....\n\nit's a great challenge for everyone and if i can move back time, i highly doubt it that i will go for it...

That visa is null and void. You need to re-apply not as a K1(engaged to a US Citizen), but as a K3(Married to a USC).
