When is the private and family life partner route used?

Where you cannot meet all of the usual partner requirements, it may still be possible to apply on the basis of family life, for example if there would be insurmountable obstacles to continuing your relationship outside the UK. These cases need careful evidence.

Risks & important considerations

Not an automatic exception

A genuine relationship or difficulty meeting the ordinary partner rules does not automatically establish a human-rights claim.

Individual family impact

Explain the effect of a decision on the couple and any children, with reliable evidence rather than broad statements.

Immigration history

Previous applications, gaps in permission and conduct can influence the assessment. Full disclosure helps the legal strategy address them.
