Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit but I was wondering if anyone has an experience of changing their visa status from Spouse visa to working visa?
Why would you change from a visa which has no restrictions on what work you do to one that restricts what sort of work you can do?
I changed from Spouse to Long Term Resident and the section chief came out and asked me to get my wife to explain we divorced. It was her chance to through a spanner in the works.
If you are not getting divorced then don’t do it. You can transition to PR from spouse more easily than from a work visa. I think they will be surprised. The guy who served me certainly was.
