Uk Graduate Visa Guidance

Summary

The UK Graduate visa allows students to stay in the UK after completing their studies. Spouses can apply as dependants if they meet eligibility requirements, such as proving their relationship and financial stability. Switching to another visa, like a Skilled Worker visa, is possible without affecting your spouses status, provided both meet the new visas criteria. For detailed guidance, consult the UK governments official resources or seek legal advice.
