Hello all,

Me and my wife are in a delicate situation and would like some advice and if someone has experienced it before.

We are both non-EU

She has a student visa (B), that will go until September but can be renewed.

I had a student visa until March, but now I am back with a tourist visa.

The reason I am with a tourist visa is quite simple. I was about to start working on another country while she would remain in Geneva to keep studying. This would last for a few months. 

I got back to grab some boxes to move to this third country. However, while I was here, we discovered that she is pregnant. More than this, her pregnancy have not been easy and she needed a lot of my care.

My tourist visa will expire on the end of June and she still need me by her side. I decided to stay.. or at least try.

I want to apply for a spouse visa but I heard that they ask that it should be done from the country of Origin. If I would go back to my country this would be very costful and it could take weeks while I am far from her.

Therefore I want to apply for the spouse visa while in Switzerland

Has someone experienced this or know someone with similar story? Do you think that they could exceptionally give me this visa?

Another fact is that I lived in Switzerland for some 2.5 years and would need to ask for attestation du casier judiciaire from here so this could weigh in my favor.
