switching from student visa to spouse visa..

[carol]

hello everyone! i am new here.. i need clarifications on some things. me and my bf (we are both filipinos) are both on student visas here in uk.. we're planning to get married here and have therefore applied for the COA. I just want to know if it would be possible for me to switch to spouse or dependant visa without going back to the Philippines. Thank you ver much..

Welcome to the forum.

You can't switch to a spouse visa regardless of where you apply from, though you can apply for a dependant visa from within the UK.
