I just want to share my experience today. I had an interview with one of the IT company here in the UK. When the interviewer asked me about my current status, I told him that I am eligible to work in the UK under spouse visa.

However, he asked me what will happen in case our relationship ends. I think he is just being practical as companies don't want to pay extra for sponsorship. I told him that I need to inform UKBA and see if they will grant me to continue my stay - especially if I have a good reason for that - and told him that I can get ILR after 2 years then apply for naturalisation.

I am not really prepared for that kind of question. No one is, I guess. Oh well, I just hope I'll get that job.

We might have ups and downs. But no matter how hard life is, through richer and poorer, I will fight for my love.
Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I am glad I found this forum. Just want to share my experience and probably someone might have had some answers to some of my queries.

Same thing happened to me. One CTO from a managed services business asked me during my interview, what will happen if I got separated from my wife, I just told him that it wont happen. In January, I got lots of interviews from different IT firms here in London but unfortunately, none of them replied back with a positive answer. I always passed the technical questions and exams and made it to the final steps but still no luck. After that, I've submitted hundreds of IT applications to different companies and agencies online, but still, haven't got any chance of getting an interview. I found out that the competition is very tight, 100+ applicants for just one vacant position. And if I got lucky enough to be selected for the first interview, the next challenge is my visa that will expire in June 2015. My wife and I have been staying here in London for almost 3 months now. Oh by the way, my wife is a Spanish/Filipino citizen. I am holding a Family of an EEA visa.

Since my visa will be expiring in June 2015, can I extend my visa anytime even if I am jobless? And where should we go to extend my visa?

My wife is already working full time.

Thank you
