Yes, you need that company or own company If I'm not wrong, when married need only 2 staff if it's your own company

The marriage visa still requires you to have a work permit so why not do things legally instead of trying to dodge the law

In the past i did read that the Elite visa can be kept next to a non B/wp situation. The Elite visa will be not active but not voided.

I remember Tod Daniels did write about this.

You can't hold 2 visas, number of passports is irrelevant
