COA w/ less than 3 months left on current visa?

[sambessey]

Hi,

My GF from Brazil has just under 3 months left on her student visa, and with this in mind, just wondering what the options are on obtaining a COA for marriage in this situation? It sounds like she needs a new visa with at least 3 months on it before she can apply. Is this correct?

Thanks

You can apply, but you will almost certainly be asked to provide extra documentation demonstrating that you are in a valid relationship, going for a valid marriage. I had to do this for my wife who was on a student visa with less than 3 months left. Wasn't really much of a problem.
