Switch from Graduate Visa to Unmarried Partner Route – Financial Requirement Strategically Met
08.07.2025
Background
We assisted a client in successfully switching from a Graduate visa to the Unmarried Partner route. The case presented complex financial circumstances, as one partner had been employed for less than six months, while the other had a basic salary below the required £29,000 threshold for the Unmarried Partner visa.
Challenge
The primary challenge was to meet the financial requirement for the Unmarried Partner route despite the partners’ circumstances. One partner’s relatively short period of employment and the other partner’s salary being below the necessary threshold posed difficulties in meeting the standard financial criteria.
Our Approach
Ms. Alexandra Mokrova expertly handled the case, performing a thorough analysis of the couple’s financial situation. She strategically used combined income sources, including bonuses, to meet the financial requirement. By carefully documenting and presenting the evidence, Ms. Mokrova ensured that all aspects of the financial eligibility were covered.
Outcome
The application was approved smoothly, allowing the couple to remain together in the UK and continue building their life here. This successful outcome demonstrates how a well-prepared, strategic approach can overcome complex challenges in the visa application process.
Conclusion
This case highlights the value of professional legal assistance in navigating the intricacies of immigration law. Thanks to Ms. Alexandra Mokrova’s expert work and the Sterling Law team, the couple was able to secure the visa and continue their journey together in the UK.
