UK Visas!

Post by tkk43 » Thu Jul 13, 2017 5:47 pm

My fiancee is going to graduate school in the UK and received a student visa. I am looking for work in the UK but it is difficult to find an employer who wants to sponsor work visas for non-UK residents. We are planning to move to the UK just before school begins. Am I able to apply for a work visa without gaining sponsorship from an employer given that my fiancee will be studying in the UK on a student visa? Any insight is much appreciated.

What do you mean graduate school? How long is her visa for?

You can apply for student dependant visa and can work freely, but you'd need to be married or prove a relationship akin to marriage which is basically two years cohabitation, provable.
