Unmarried Partners
EEA Unmarried Partners
As experienced immigration solicitors and lawyers are aware, the UK allows for extended family members of EEA nationals to remain in the UK, even if they are foreign nationals. This can include unmarried partners, so long as they couple are in a durable relationship.
What are the requirements that these Durable Partners need to show?
The following requirements are normally assessed by the UKBA.
1. One unmarried partner must be an EEA national exercising treaty rights ( ie working or one of the other categories.)
2. The unmarried couple must have the intention to permanently live as a couple together.
3. The unmarried couple must have been residing together in a relationship similar to that enjoyed by a married couple, and that relationship should have existed for in excess of two years.
4. The unmarried partners must not be related by blood. Essentially, there is no blood relationship.
5. Any previous marriage or long term unmarried partnership or similar relationship by the EEA party or the third party national has now permanently broken down.
There are other minor requirements which our leading London based immigration lawyers can advise upon.
