Tier 1 visa for 4 years, marrying EU citizen.

[iamholmes]

Hi there

I have searched these forums but haven't found an answer to this question.

I am currently on a Tier 1 (from the US), have lived in the UK for 4 years and I need to apply for ILR in June 2012. I am going to marry an EU citizen in two weeks and we will both return to the UK. My EU wife is going to return with me to the UK, but hasn't lived there before.

When I return to the UK after our honeymoon, will I be able to switch to any other category of visa and get my ILR earlier (as a result of marrying an EU citizen), instead of having to wait till June 2012 ?

Many thanks

James
