Thank you Casa for letting me know.Casa wrote:If you don't have children together a FLR(FP) application has little chance of success. Even more so if you have only recently relocated to the UK. It isn't possible to switch to any other category from a visitor visa and the quickest way to secure a settlement visa would be for your wife to return to her own country and apply for a spouse visa from there. You would have to meet the minimum income level of £18,600 per annum and your wife would have to pass the A1 English pre-entry test. She could take the test while she is here. It would be unwise to overstay her current visa as it will only complicate future visa applications.

i cannt find any information about she can not switch her status to any other category on GOV.CO.UK. do you know where i can read it please?
and what is the little chance of success?
This is what gov website states in regards to general visitor visa extension. It CATEGORICALLY does not state switching to any other visa as its NOT allowed. Think, why is there Marriage Visitor Visa to get married in the Uk and settle elsewhere? and fiancé visa to get married in the Uk and settle in the UK, also spouse visa?? Why would HO let you marry and switch on visit visa and still have visa form for marriage visa!You may be able to extend your visa as long as the total time you spend in the UK is less than 6 months - eg if you apply for a 3 month visa, you can apply to extend it for 3 more months.

I am not sure of your marriage as being made invalid because of flauting the visit visa conditions, in view of home office?
we actually dont know what to do now.Casa wrote:There is no penalty for marrying in the UK while on a visitor visa. The Home Office would have to prove that there was the 'intention' to marry when the application was submitted and plans to change. Don't be concerned that your marriage isn't valid.
i was reading through the page you gave to me. i am not sure i fully understand.drinver wrote:If you are a British Overseas Citizen do YOU have the right to live and work in the UK?
The info on Gov.UK seems to say that you don't have this right https://www.gov.uk/types-of-british-nat ... as-citizen
Sorry don't mean to cause unnecessary concern but this does seem fairly clear
No. i do not havedrinver wrote:As well as have a British Overseas Citizen passport, do you have citizenship or nationality for any other country such as the country you have been living in?
