Unmarried partner Visa - Is it a "Settlement" visa type?

Had you two been living together for at least two years before 2021? Or entered into a PACS / registered partnership / civil partnership before then?

If so, are you aware of the possibility for an EUSS "Surinder Singh" / "family member of a qualified British citizen" option, instead of a family visa?

 

Alternately, were you physically present in the UK, whether to visit your partner's family or for any other reason, at any point between roughly September 2019 (or potentially even March 2019) and December 2020? If so, have you considered a personal EUSS application not based on family?

 

Those options can be free (and can lead to a refund of your partner visa application fees), if you want.
