Good Advice Needed ASAP

Post by ItsWell2008 » Fri Aug 28, 2009 4:09 pm


I am a non eu in the Uk,been studying over here for a while.i did both of degrees here.I am about to get married to Briton from d same tribe. I have been studying in the UK for 6 years now. I have done 2 Masters degreee at Universities and also doing My Phd right now. But not done any research for a while... Took time off
I wish to know if its possible to convert my Visa to a spouse visa? Likewise,what documents are required for me to take to the PEO in person? Should I just stick with the ones requested for on the form? Or would I need a document from the University? If Yes,what documents would be required

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

If I've understood correctly and you haven't been studying, I wouldn't recommend applying in person as you'll be asked for your record of attendance.
Are you both over 21?

Form FLR(M). Fee is £445 for postal application. Download the form from the UKBA website. If you apply by post they may not ask for proof of attendance. I'd suggest you submit the postal application without the letter explaining your absence from studies, and they will write to ask you to provide it if it's necessary. In other words, if you don't draw attention to it, there may not be a problem. It's likely to take up to 3 months to process, but you remain here legally under the visa status at the time of your application.
If you apply in person, you will be asked to show that you've been attending studies as per the conditions of your visa, and you run the risk of refusal.
