You can apply with your family, and of course, you must show proof of funds for their living expenses if the funding doesn't cover for it.
From experience, I cannot say exactly how the interview will go as the outcome will largely depends on the type of consular you meet. Questions will be asked and constructive answers must be prepared. Is the primary applicants the wife or husband? If wife, then why is the hubby leaving his job to stay in the US? If it's the husband, it is easy to understand why the wife wants to go with the husbands and the 3 kids.

In November 2020, an applicant that I assisted with the interview went was given her visa with 3 kids, without hubby in the picture. The reason was that she cannot imagine leaving behind her kids for 4-5 years, while husband is very busy with his job and may visit during holidays. I have no idea if the plan is to bring in the hubby later. Then that same month, a lady from this thread, without her two kids and husband, applied alone, same Phd. She didn't even have funding on the i-20, yet visa was approved.

You can try with the entire family, or plan to try alone. Who is the primary applicant?

LagosismyHome:
What important is that you tell the truth...

married people are given visa and some are told no same with unmarried, some get some dont

That's not all. Read the concluding statement:

"Depending on your situation, there may be additional requirements."

For PNP, there are requirements which you signed to when accepting the nomination. For Saskatchewan, the intention to reside in the province is on the EE ITA, and I believe it's the case for other PNPs.

Please can you add me to a telegram or WhatsApp group for Saskatchewan and New Brunswick PNPs. Thank you

Don Oms: Return ticket is not compulsory as it is your choice. Though it is often relatively expensive, one-way is better if you're not sure about return date.
As for choice of flight, there are options which include duration of flight and stops. My best advice is for you to go to an agency site like wakanow and type your flight details. Once you have the search results, take a note of them and male a choice. Then go to the website of the airline you picked and book the flight. You can also search for both return and one-way and compare prices.
Congrats on your visa.

mjan: Thank you so much. I appreciate. I will do that.

Don Oms: Which funds in particular? Different people have different views about accessing their money in the UK and you can choose any option.
Personally, I left my whole money in my GTB account. I only came to the UK with 300 GBP. I used the Naira Mastercard to pay my fees installmentally since maximum POS transaction is 1 million naira (over £3500) by CBN. I then opened a UK account and withdraw cash from my naira account at the ATM (charges vary btw 240-450 naira per cash withdrawal) and deposited it into my UK account.
To me, that's a better option because offshore transfer through dorm accounts can be "expensive."

royalsweetness: I opened a gtb domiciliary account (pounds), then I changed my fees to pounds, paid it into the dom account, then filled out a form with the school account details, that the bank used to transfer the money. An annoying long protocol if you ask me, but atleast its safe. I'm still hoping to find an easier but safe method.

mjan: God bless your for your quick response. I have done that.

mayo47: You can put your sister address, i did it during my application and still got my visa. I think they want to be sure you have a place to yourself upon arriving the UK as you can still move away and get yourself some other accommodation. As per booking of flight its not necessary my dear, applied twice to the UKBA without doing that and was granted visa (second was last month).

miz Gene: I believe u can use ur sis' address, but u must still make sure u have the amount needed for your upkeep in ur account. you dont have to book ur flight before applying, just put any convenient date there..
