Switching from Student to Spousal

Post by angie4489 » Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:29 am

Hiya

We are getting married this Friday (27th, Nov). I am still on my Student Visa expiring 31/10/10. My fiance has Refugee Status. My question to you is do we have to apply now for a Spousal Visa or should we wait till towards the end of my student visa? Your help is appreciated.

Ange :)

You don't need to wait for your student visa to run out to apply. You should switch sometime before it expires to avoid overstaying.
