Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone has been in a similar situation and can share their experience.

My situation:

- I was on a Skilled Worker visa and left my job
- received my curtailment letter today giving me until 3rd August 2026 to leave or make a new application
- We had our notice appointment on 2nd June and my civil partnership ceremony booked for 1st July
- I plan to submit FLR(M) with super priority immediately after the ceremony on 1st July ( as we are travelling for a family holiday on the 4th of July )

My concerns:

1. The 71-day extension risk:
   As a limited visa holder, my notice will be referred to the Home Office who could extend the waiting period from 29 to 71 days. If this happens, my ceremony gets pushed to around 12th August - 9 days AFTER my curtailment deadline of 3rd August. Has anyone been in this situation? What happened? Did the Home Office extend to 71 days, and if so, what did you do?

2. Did anyone write back to the visa office? are other reasons why you should be allowed to stay in the UK, you must tell us now.” Has anyone written back to the Home Office in response to a curtailment letter? Did it help or make things worse? I’m planning to inform them that I have a civil partnership notice appointment booked and a ceremony on 1st July - is this advisable or unnecessary?

Thank you in advance for any information. I also wonder if us giving notice flagged the system and that’s why I received the curtailment just two days after? It had only been about 21 days since my old employer informed the home office.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Hey everyone!

I’m in the process of applying for an FLR(M) visa on the civil partnership route and would love to hear from others who have been through the process.

A bit about our situation:

•	We’ve been together for 2 years  
•	Both living in Westminster  
•	Applying in-country with super priority, I quit my job and I am switching from a skilled worker visa

My main questions are:

1.	What evidence did you include and what do you wish you had included?  
2.	How many photos did you submit and over what time period?  
3.	Did you include a personal statement and how detailed was it?  
4.	Any evidence that you felt really strengthened your application?  
5.	Anything the Home Office questioned or pushed back on?

I’ve read that some people include Uber receipts and Deliveroo orders - is this actually worth doing or is it overkill? I just wonder HOW much evidence one needs to submit for a civil partnership visa.

Any advice from people who’ve been through this recently would be massively appreciated! 🙏

We have our appointment of notice tomorrow, and then the ceremony on July 1st. I am also recently pregnant, would you include this information as part of the evidence?

Also, we are choosing to submit with super priority as we have a family trip booked on the 4th of July that is very special and that we’d hate for me to miss. How easy is it to get biometrics appointments within 24 hours?

Also, since I am collecting all of the evidence, it might seem most of the evidence is from my side, due to my partner having a busy job. I,e - Ubers from my account, deliveroo’s from my account. Screenshots of our chats from my WhatsApp etc. Is this an issue? Or does it need to be equal from both parties.

Really appreciate any advice! Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

My partner and I broke up about a year ago but have been seeing each other since.
There's no official commitment on his end — he's on dating apps — but I've essentially been giving him the full girlfriend experience with nothing in return.
I just found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant.
Completely unplanned. But the moment I found out, I just knew I wanted to keep it.
Before getting pregnant we had a loose agreement that if it happened we'd terminate, because we both have goals and it wasn't the right time. But now that it's real, I can't go through with that. Something shifted the moment I saw those positive tests.

I have been pregnant with my previous partner while living together a few years ago and aborted, and it broke my heart.

When I told him today he was completely clinical about it — "the decision is already made, take the tablets, think rationally." He's not acknowledging that this is MY body, MY choice, and an incredibly difficult and emotional decision. He doesn't seem to understand this isn't straightforward for me.
I'm nearly in my 30s, I'm financially stable, I have a good life. I could do this.

Is it wrong to keep it even if he doesn't want it? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
