Do I need to be legally married to sponsor my partner from Ukraine, or is an unmarried partnership accepted?

03.12.2025 10:19:50 You do not necessarily need to be legally married to sponsor your partner from Ukraine; many countries also accept unmarried partnerships or common-law partnerships for immigration sponsorship. However, you usually must demonstrate that you have a genuine, committed relationship, which often includes evidence of living together for at least 12 months and proof of shared life and finances. The specific requirements can vary depending on the country's immigration laws, so you should check the criteria applied in your jurisdiction.

03.12.2025 10:20:00 From a legal perspective, particularly in the context of U.S. immigration, sponsoring a partner from Ukraine depends on the specific program. For standard family-based immigration visas, such as a spousal visa (CR-1/IR-1), you must be legally married to sponsor your partner. Unmarried partnerships are generally not accepted for these visas; however, a fiancé(e) visa (K-1) allows sponsorship if you intend to marry within 90 days of arrival. For the Uniting for Ukraine program, which provides humanitarian parole, you do not need to be married or in a formal partnership—any U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident can sponsor a Ukrainian national if they agree to provide financial support, regardless of relationship status. Requirements may vary by country if you're not in the U.S., so consult relevant immigration authorities for your specific situation.

04.12.2025 14:52:21 UK immigration rules do not require legal marriage to sponsor a partner. An unmarried partnership is accepted if it meets the criteria of a “genuine and subsisting relationship” and the couple has lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two consecutive years prior to the application. Evidence such as joint tenancy agreements, shared bills, bank statements, or official correspondence to the same address is essential to prove cohabitation and stability. If you are married or in a civil partnership, the two-year cohabitation rule does not apply, but you must still show the relationship is genuine and ongoing. In both scenarios, financial, accommodation, and English-language requirements must be met. Our legal service can assess which route suits your circumstances and guide you in assembling compliant evidence for the Home Office.
