ok to get married while on a student visa?

Post by klm00 » Mon Apr 25, 2016 7:09 pm

Hi - my partner and I are currently living in South America. Im British and he has a place to study a masters in London from September. The idea is that he will apply first for a student visa and arrive in the UK with that and that we will then apply as soon as possible for a spouse visa (we meet the financial requirements).

Our idea is to get married before we arrive in the UK - this would be after he has applied for the student visa with single status - reason for the timing purely being to do with family arrangements for the wedding.

My question is whether changing marital status after he has applied for the student visa as a single person could in any way jeopardise the spouse visa application or somehow be said to be doing something wrong?? From what I have read we could get married in the UK while he is on a student visa so I don't see how it can be but want to check as we don't want to inadvertently mess up the process or his chances of getting the spouse visa.

thanks (and apologies, I seem to have somehow posted this yesterday at the end of an old and different - unintentional and no idea how I did it)
