Visa Transition - Tier 1 Post-Study Work to Indefinite Leave
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:41 am
Hi
My wife is an American citizen (I am a British citizen) who came to the UK 3 years ago (we had met prior to this) and lived with me whilst she completed as Master's Degree.
Upon completing her degree, she got a 2 year Tier 1 Post Study Work Visa which expires this November. We actually got married last year and she has now lived in the UK for over 3 years. We are now looking at her application for ILR and the advice on the UKBA website seems unclear as it seems to suggest she cannot actually apply for ILR. If so, what can we do in terms of Visa extensions - we are expecting our first child shortly. Any thoughts/help appreciated...
Thanks!
