Switch from EEA Spouse Status

Post by abad » Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:04 am

Hi,

I am new to this immigration board and seeking an advise. I married to EEA national in 2009. It is nearly 2 years of marriage now. we decided to get seperate as it did not work well between us. I want to know is it possible to switch my status from eea to student or can i switch to work permit. By profession i am an accountant. My employer is willing to process the work permit application for me. I am not sure whether is it possible or not.If yes can i switch my status without leaving the uk.

I hope i would be provided with requested information.

I believe it is not possible to switch from within the UK.

Are you still married?
Have you already applied for divorce?
Is your EU citizen spouse still working?
