Hello everyone,

Just wondering if there is now a chance that the home office will change my 5 year route to 10 years on the Spouse Visa?
Thank you.

I saw an outline on a government website (https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...ngs/cbp-10267/) of the changes proposed and saw this....

Which visa categories will be affected by the longer qualifying period?There are explicit exemptions for partners of British citizens, who will continue to qualify for settlement after five years, and for victims of domestic abuse (see paragraph 265). In addition, people with post-Brexit residence rights under the EU Settlement Scheme have the right to permanent residence after five years under Article 15 of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement.

Hello ShelleyR75.

Thank you for your reply. This is reassuring as a lot of people I talked to seems to think even spouse visa will have to do the 10 year route instead of 5.

Regards,
