Hello everyone,
I am American and have spent nearly 9 years in the UK on various visas. Most recently I've spent 2.5 years on an unmarried partner visa, then switched to a spousal visa after getting married. I'm about to finish 2.5 years on the spousal partner visa (in September). I applied and was granted both visas with the same partner (now my husband) and both are on the same form FLR(M).
This totals 5 years, but I'm not sure if the two combined qualify me for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Does anyone know if they count as the same immigration category or do I need to apply for a further 2.5 years on the married partner visa first? Please provide links to relevant information, if possible.
I would appreciate any insight! Thanks in advance!!
