No matter what, but you cannot stay without your partner. Even though you have come to UK for either professional reasons or other reasons, but you can bring your partner too with the UK Partner Visa. For getting the partner visa, it is obvious that you and your partner must have been together for at least two years. The best thing about the partner visa is that, the person that gets a partner visa can work in UK in the near future too. The point is that, you need to fulfill the requirements for getting the partner visa. You and your partner have to prove that you both have sufficient funds to support yourself all through the period you are in UK.
You need to apply this partner visa to your partner alone. Partner means that, your husband or wife or civil partner or any other partner that you have lived with at least for 2 years.
A partner or fiancée, who joins you in the UK based on your right to stay in the UK is called a ‘dependent’, and you are known as the ‘sponsor’. Any partner can apply from outside the UK. They can apply from inside the UK as long as they,
• Are not in the UK on the visit visa
• Were given leave to remain in the UK for more than 6 months
• Are not applying as a fiancée
If the partner visa application has been rejected, then appealing will take at least 6 to 9 months.
