Hi,
I hope someone will have an answer for me here. I recently married my UK spouse in the UK as a visitor for marriage because he lives in France, and we thought we'd settle there.
However, we are now thinking maybe settling in the UK would be better.
My question is, I understand the Visitor for Marriage Visa is one that can't be "switched". I'm already back in the US. Can we apply for a spousal visa now or do I have to wait until the visitor for marriage visa expires in 6 months. Will they frown upon our change of mind?
Also, since he's been in France for the past 8 years or so, will he need to return to the UK for a period of time before we can apply?
Thanks!
