marriage on a visitor's visa

i'm on a work permit in Uk from India.My girlfriend is on a visitor's visa.Can i marry her and change her status to spouse so that she can settle down and work here

I beleive and someone correct me if i'm wrong
her status can not be changed...
no , she cannot work without a work visa
and yes you can marry here but she will still have to go home to india to change her status
You are not a legal resident or citizen...  you can not sponsor her yourself... you are here on a work visa... your being here is on a temporary basis, a non immigration basis...

Thanks for the reply..Can we change her status by going to any other nearby country and getting entry clearance.Cos i cant go back to india for next 1 year

I'm not sure...I think someone else is gonna have to answer that one... Sorry

I'm pretty sure your girlfriend will have to go back to India to adjust her status.  If someone from the US got married in the UK on a visitor's visa, they'd have to go back to the US to adjust status (unless they were here on a student visa or work visa worth 6 months or more, which wouldn't apply to your girlfriend).

It sounds like your girlfriend will need another sponsor if she's to come to the UK permanently.  If you don't have ILR (indefinite leave to remain) in the UK, you cannot sponsor her.

Couldn't he bring her over on a work permit dependent's visa after they're married? I don't know all the specifics about that method, I would check the www.ukvisas.gov.uk for more information.

No.  India is a visa national country in the first instance. 

Naive?  or troll?
