Hi all,
I would appreciate your help with this question.
I was granted 10 years partner visa in 2016 then I switch to 5 years in 2018. I current 2.5 years on the 5 years partner route is due to end in January 2021. Can I apply for SET (M) by combining the visas. My partner is a British Citizen.
On the gov website the eligibility criteria did not specify whether the 5 years has to be on the same visa as seen below.
"If you’ve got a family visa as a partner or spouse on the 5-year route, you must have been living in the UK for 5 years.
If you’re on the 2-year route, you must have been living in the UK on that visa for 2 years.
If you’re on the 10-year route, you must have been living in the UK on that visa for 10 years.
If you’re not sure which route you’re on, check the letter you got from the Home Office when your ‘leave to remain’ was last approved".
I would appreciate your quick response. Thank you
