Hello everyone!
Been lurking around this forum for a while now, you guys are doing an amazing job in supporting this community. I have a quick question myself that I hope somebody might be able to help with.
I am a British Citizen living in Israel, and my partner and I submitted a Unmarried Partner Settlement Visa earlier in July. Paid priority too but that doesn't seem to mean much these days and we are still waiting for any updates from UKVI
Anyway, as far as we can tell we meet all the required financial criteria. As the sponsor I earn more than the required amount and do have a job offer in the UK, dated for next November. Naturally, we've submitted the required paperwork to prove this.
I believe tricky part in our application is the cohabitation for at least 2 years part. We have been living together for over 2.5 years, however the apartment we've been living in is owned by my partner, therefore we did not sign a lease contract when I moved in, however we did sign a Memorandum of Understanding which we have also submitted as part of our application. We've also submitted multiple documentation that prove that I have been living in this address for the last 2+ years.
Our main concern right now is the fact that in our rush to submit the application we've completely forgot to add any evidence that my partner actually lives in this residence too. We did provide UKVI with an official document from the local land registry office stating that the land is owned by my partner, however we've just recently noticed that nowhere does it state the actual address, rather just the plot numbers and such.
With that being said, we are getting quite worried that an ECO handling our application would refuse our application on the grounds that we did not provide sufficient cohabitation evidence
Are our worries justified? If so, do you think we would be required to provide additional documentation or would we be outright refused?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
