What's the difference between the 5-year Partner Route and the 10-year Partner Route?

If migrants arrive in the UK via one of the partner channels and stay for five years or more, they can apply for ILR UK if they meet all of the eligibility requirements. As a partner, Appendix FM provides two paths to settlement. The 5-year and 10-year Partner Routes are the two options. If civil partners or unmarried spouses came in the UK and then married or went into a civil partnership, they can apply for ILR UK as spouses or civil partners. Your time spent on the 10-year partner route will not be carried forward if you convert to a 5-year partner route. If your conditions are effectively addressed in appendix FM, the partners can convert to a 5-year partner route if you are now on a 10-year partner. You can apply even if your existing visa is not about to expire. Regardless of whether spouses stay in the UK for five or ten years, the minimum term of leave is 2.5 years.

BAME communities continue to bear the brunt of hostile Tory policies.

A recent UN study reveals in graphic detail how the UK government has targeted black and minority ethnic communities. A Special Rapporteur for the United Nations Human Rights Council reported on the situation of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and other kinds of racial and religious intolerance in the United Kingdom at the end of May. The report's conclusions are alarming, or to use the report's own words, "analogously gloomy." A combination of hostile immigration policies – relics of the hostile environment era – and austerity measures has resulted in an increase in racially and religiously motivated hate crime, racial profiling, and socio-economic inequalities in BAME (black, Asian, and other minority ethnic) communities across the board. Cuts to public-sector financing have been disastrous, as readers are well aware. Over the last decade, vital services have been reduced by up to 40%. As per the Special Rapporteur, these actions have disproportionately i...

Domestic violence: BAME women and migrants in the United Kingdom fall between the cracks

Image
Domestic violence victims' cries have been drowned out by England's World Cup triumph thus far. However, if they lose, local officials have issued warnings about an increase in domestic violence incidents. Lancaster University discovered that when England lost a match in the 2014 World Cup, incidents increased 38%, and this is typical of World Cup tournaments: the 64 reports of domestic violence in 2002 increased to 99 in 2010, prompting several forces to support the campaign ‘Give Domestic Abuse the Red Card' this year. More than 90% of domestic abuse victims are female, while only 5% to 10% are male. According to the national charity Safe Lives, 15% of black, Asian, or ethnic minority (BAME) victims – and migrants on a Spouse Visa UK - bore the weight of violence in silence 1.5 times longer than White, British, or Irish women. And, as we all know, silence is lethal. Suffering in Isolation The founder of the Migrant Women Association, Mirela Sula, stated in the Guardian t...

When Your Foreign Spouse or Partner Wants To Live With You

Image
Perhaps you married abroad, or perhaps you didn't marry domestically and your foreign spouse returned home for a variety of reasons. They may not have become a resident, or you may not have applied for them in the proper manner. It doesn't matter any longer; that part of the equation is no longer relevant. So, what are we going to do about it? So your foreign spouse wants to move in with you, but you're not sure where to start. We're here to assist you if you require assistance in this attempt. Do they have a disability? If your spouse has a disability, it may be more difficult for them to live in the nation. You must demonstrate a few things to the government. That you can look after your spouse without needing too much help. For the next few years, this is critical. The reason for this is that healthcare tourism is rampant, and governments are increasingly attempting to combat it. You have the financial means to assist your spouse in getting around. In other words, y...
