Hi everyone,
I am new here and have just created an account. I have been reading a lot thanks to the many great people and their posts. However here is my situation and my confusion.
My fiance and I are currently living in Bolivia. I came here almost a year ago to be with him. I couldn't stand having a skype relationship any longer. I went to school to be able to teach ESL abroad. The whole time I've been here I haven't been able to even obtain a work visa. The school I was working at was corrupt and nothing here was legal by the government. Long story short even when it came time for us to get married here, we couldn't. They send you on this roller coaster ride so the longer your here the more you have to pay in a fine. They would tell me to send my papers here and there and basically wasted my time and money. We have our trip booked for the 18th of December to go home for Christmas. Once we get in the country, if God allows, then we will get married there by city hall and apply for PR visa right away inland, as Bolivia does require a travel visa. (that which I'm working on now.We're waiting for the invitation letter to arrive which my mother sent last week)
My question is this: if we get his travel visa, and while in the country he gets a work visa, would he still be allowed to apply for the PR visa or once the PR visa is applied for, the work visa no longer is valid?
I hope someone can help I'm currently a ball of stress and just want to be home with him and my family for Christmas.
