Switching from Skilled Worker Visa to Unmarried Partner Visa – Am I Eligible?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa. My boyfriend is a British citizen, and we’ve been together for nearly 7 years. We haven’t officially lived together in the same city due to work commitments, but few years ago we’ve done a lot of sleepovers during uni (same uni), and before starting my current job, I lived with him and his parents for a while.

We plan to get married in a few years. I’m wondering: is this enough to apply for an unmarried partner visa, and what are the chances of it being approved?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
