Wow, hard work modelling that!  :urock:

awesome! THANK YOU cumeaternc! :cheesy2:

Thanks for the speedy post raphjd! 

Both my partner and I are not residents of the UK but my partner is an EU citizen. According to the websites, it is possible if one partner is an EU citizen. We intend to settle in England.

Also, could you elaborate 'pack rat'? Does that mean something like a group of us from the same country that wish to obtain a visa to CU and settle in the UK? I am a national of a country where same-sex relations are not legally recognized and homosexual sex is a minor criminal offense.

Secondly, how do I go about proving our relationship? Would it be totally impossible if we do not have any joint finances/ownerships? Is there a minimum length of a relationship as a requirement e.g. 1-2 years?

I have visited the government and visa websites.

So here is a brief outline of what I know:

1. Visa has to be obtained by the non-EU citizen to enter and settle in the UK as a civil partner.
2. 7 day notification on intention to register to which a public notice will be put up in case of any objection to the union.
3. After this, the partnership may be carried out in the next 15 days.
4. Non-EU partner will be given a 2 year visa to live and work in the UK and permanent residency may be obtained after 2 years if the couple is still together.

If anyone of you has registered such a partnership, perhaps you could share your experience?

Cheers

Greetings rainbow folk!

I am not an EU citizen but would like to know of anything you can share regarding CP/unions with one partner from the outside of the EU/UK.

Thanks!
