Thanks TODMATT for the guidance.

As for the line that states ‘ The applicant’s first grant of limited leave under this Appendix must have been as a partner’,
Does that mean that someone initially admitted to the U.K. as a parent under appendix fm then switched to the 10 year partner route cannot rely on Ilr set dv?
I’m asking for your opinion on this please.
It’s quite unclear as the first grant of leave under appendix fm in this case would’ve been as a parent followed by partner visa.
