Hi. I am an Indian citizen and would like to join my unmarried partner in the UK, who is a British citizen. I am employed in India and have a bachelor's degree but do not qualify for HSMP Tier 1 visa. We were together for 3 months before he returned to the UK. Is there any way I can qualify for an unmarried/de facto visa so that I can live with him in the UK? Please help.

To be eligible to apply for an unmarried/de facto visa, you must be able to provide a lot of concrete evidence that you have been together as husband and wife for a certain period, not 3 months. With a large number of visa applications to UK, US, Canada and Australia, I would suggest you get married first, then apply as a spouse. Good luck.
