My name is narain, I am from india, I came here as a volunteer in finland, and I got one year stamping, of course my volunteer contract is also for one year, this is my 5th month and I have 6 months left now, in the beginning I thought to go back to my country, but after seeing here snow and weather, I decided to stay here, how can I change my visa to workpermit, when can I change, is it possible to change hereitself, or I have to go back to my country then apply. Please help me the infrmation.

Simply it is I want to settle here, how can I - I am married.

What's your spouse nationality? Are you living together?
How long you've been married?

Most important issue, is there a binding contract agreement with your sponsor on this volunteer program? Normally there is a 2 years term that you must return to your home country and will be unable to change status or apply for any visa. Check this out first.

If you have j-1 visa.. then you can change your visa by J-1 Waiver...
