An Unmarried Partner can also make a FLR M application

An unmarried partner includes anyone who can evidence they have been living in a relationship akin to a marriage or civil partnership for at least two years prior to the date of application for an extension of leave.

You can also apply using the FLR M form to extend your stay as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner in circumstances where you came to the UK with the intention of entering into a marriage or civil partnership but have yet to do so.

Note that this form should not be used to apply to settle in the UK. This is a  common mistake that many couple make when trying to apply for indefinite leave to remain.
