Just looking for some advice -

what options would a student who graduates with a dipolma in July 2012 have if she wanted to remain in the UK.

The college she is studying at does not have a Royal Charter so the PSW route is not open to her.

How did you over come the problem of meeting your partner only once? I met the wife, once and then we were married a week later and week after this I have returned home. I am however worried that the EOC will not look favourably on this.
