Hi All,

Urgent help needed please.

I am unmarried partner of EEA national. I received EEA2 in April 2012 but i think we are going to break up soon. I am in this country for 7.5 years now, Please can anybody suggest any option I can switch from EEA2. I am a UK graduate & my company can sponsor me. Can I switch to Tier 4 student visa or Tier 2 Sponsor?

Please can anybody help.

Kind Regards

it would be better if you post it in EEA FORUM you will get more replies there .
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
