Hi Sarah,
I'm in the same situation as you, except that I have a little longer (my WHV expires in Oct), and we're also thinking of popping over to Vegas for a week and visiting Elvis
Have you found out any more information? Personally I didn't learn much from the link posted by Triple H, it didn't sound like our situation.
Do you know if we're allowed to go to Vegas, marry, come back to UK, enter on our still valid WHV and then apply for spouse visa (I assume using FLR(M))? I don't want to have to go all the way back home in Oct as we're planning to visit in Feb 07 for a large family celebration and we can't afford to travel to Oz twice in 6 months.
Other than that the only thing I can think of is a small civil ceremony in Italy. Or apply for C of A and then Spouse which is a little more expensive and means we have to marry in UK, but gives us a little more time...

 

In your situation , YES!.I am almost certain this would work for you.
The only guidence on IND Iis that you must have visa for more than 6 months and more than 3 months remaining to be able to switch it. Unfortunately many people that come here (this site)never come back and say this thing worked , this thing did not. ,and I advised few
GOOD LUCK!

 

Thanks TripleH, much appreciated.
I promise to come back and tell everyone what we did and whether it worked
I have another question but I'll put it in a new post
Thanks
