Post by tom_hungston » Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:33 pm

Hi everyone,

I have ILR (waiting for my british citizenship approval) and just got married and my wife has UK visitor visa, I'm wondering if its possible for her to come here to live with me on visitor visa and then once she is here she get her visa status changed to spouse...?

I would really appreciate your help guys.

Kind Regards
