Looking back the process was relatively easy but hugely stressful at the time. After applying you will have full work and health rights but no social security. Also your partner has to not have any DV history. Took me 2 years but I hear times have blown out. After full partner visa is approved you can break up but still stay in the country and start process to citizenship. Only saying because ours was a bumpy ride to get there and your partner can end the process at any time (for non abusive reasons). There are some protections against partners using the visa as amanipulative tool.
