What is the Spouse & Partner LTR Route?
The Leave to Remain spouse and partner pathway allows eligible applicants already living in the UK to continue their lawful residence with their British or settled partner.
The Spouse and Partner Leave to Remain route is designed for individuals who currently hold valid partner-based immigration permission in the United Kingdom and wish to extend their stay. Applicants must continue satisfying the relationship, financial, accommodation and suitability requirements under the Immigration Rules.
Successful applications often form part of the five-year route toward Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and eventually British citizenship. Maintaining lawful status and submitting a fully compliant application before visa expiry is essential.
Legate Hub provides comprehensive immigration support including evidence preparation, financial assessment, application submission and Home Office correspondence management.
