Can anyone please confirm? It's really very important for me!

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for reply Casa!

I meant to ask about the 'spouse visa' extension - I know I cannot apply for ILR yet.

I'm looking for jobs now but with a 9 month visa it looks a bit difficult! If I can extend my spouse visa and get a 27 month extension I guess I'll stand a better chance in jobseeking?

I have searched around but couldn't find a definite answer.

My current spouse visa runs out Jan 2010 and I entered UK on Oct 2008. I am wondering can I apply for spouse visa extension now or must I wait until just before my visa expires?

Many thanks!

Oh thank you very much indeed Jabi, as for your answer 4), my reply is that: i): The UK customs may very possibly stop a visitor in late pregnancy (at least for a Chinese citizen, as far as I know). ii): The charge from hospitals for a visitor would be too much for us to bear. About Question Two, I ...
