If you have done the introduction and traditional wedding before you left Nigeria i think i am in a right position to give you advice concerning your bringing your family here, i am also in the UK on a student visa and my wife is here with me, we live in the north east of England and i am doing my Masters here.

(1) If you dont have the marriage certificate, your wife must not apply for the student dependant visa till you have got the marriage certificate.
(2) You will have to travel to Nigeria to show evidence of stamping out and stamping in at the airport by immigration, by travelling to Nigeria you would have proven to the embassy that you attended your wedding.
(3) You have to rent a 2 bed room flat in your name here in the UK,before your wife can apply.
(4) You must show a 3 months old bank statement, meaning you must have been in the UK for 3 months before your wife can join you.
(5) You must get a letter from the International office of your University that they aware your wife is coming to the UK.
(6) Your wife may have to show evidence of working in Nigeria,pay slip,bank statement,lettery from company that she is going to the UK as student dependant.
(7) You have to show letter from you landlord that he is aware your wife is coming.
( You have to put the money to take care of your wife and child in a UK bank account for 28 days, it should come to something like £8,000 for both of them,you can borrow from your friends to fill it for 28 days.

@MOBO444 thanks alot for the info i have just sent u an email.i hope to get a reply

@heryyyy and mobo

Are you sure the time required for the funds to be in the account is 28days?

I think it's 90days now (if the account is domiciled in the UK)

I think you should check the ukba website. Rules are being changed/updated.
