need urgent help

[anne21]

hi im posting this on behalf of a friend and really need some advice to help her out..

 

she is an international student who came to the UK on a 2 year student visa.

 

however half way during her studies she fell pregnant, which meant she couldnt continue with her studies ( but she still paid all her student fee).

 

now shes given birth she wants to return back to her studies, but her visa is to expire soon.

she wants to apply for an extention while shes over here in the UK

as she fears if she goes back her family will not let her come back again...

 

she settled down really well over here, but now shes in a tricky situation as she doesnt know what to do.

she doesnt want to live here illegally as she and her husband are totally against the idea.

but she needs financial help in raising the money for the extention of a student visa (now that she has a baby to care for too). .

 

does anyone know where she could get some financial help to do this

or if there is any other route where she can stay in the country legally

(as the baby is a britsh citizen as she wsd born here?)

 

any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated plz. thanks x

Hi anne21,

 

Your friend needs expert advice, and she should consult an immigration lawyer.

she has already breached the terms of her visa by not continuing her education. The baby is not a British citizen, in order for the baby to be classed as a British citizen, one of the parents would need to be a British citizen or settled here as a British citizen. she can apply for further leave to remain as a student if she can show she has not completed her studies. There is no financial help available for visa applications, this country is struggling financially already.your friend is probably already benefiting in from our generous NHS system.
