Hi everyone, please can someone on a student visa/dependent student visa apply for mortgage just 6 months living in the country if they have deposit and employment history?

Technically, yes - there's no legal restriction on when you can apply for a mortgage.

Realistically, it depends on if you've built a reasonable credit track record, because that's the most important factor lenders will evaluate, alongside your earnings which presumably will be limited being on a student visa. If the dependent earns high pay and you have a substantial deposit as well you can boost the chances. Ultimately though, 6 months is a short time and it's likely that even if you have a high deposit you'll still get offered higher rates and/or a lower loan sum, to mitigate the extra risk the lender is taking with you

In theory you can, but I don't think any lender will give you one, based on your immigration status.

Good afternoon gurus.
A family of five came in December 2021. His wife is a PhD student, and her husband has been doing care jobs for the past six months. They are about to apply for an IHS refund for a family of five.

The care home wants to give her husband CoS, which will change his Visa to tier 2.

They are worried because of other information from people, and I decided to hear from our experienced brothers and sisters here.

1) If her husband applies for tier 2, will they still get the IHS refund?
2) Is it advisable he continues with the dependant Visa till they get all the refunds?

Ihs shouldn't stop you from getting or switching cos. Two completely different things .

The refund will work itself out.... but either way since still in care industry they will get the ihs refund back however long it takes

@LagosismyHome .Normally yes..But I know someone that travelled with just ghana must go,. Mid way getting to their destination, national express refused to carry them. Nation Express picked them from heathrow, they had to change at another terminal for another bus, when the bus driver saw the ghana must go, asked if they had food in it(trust naija to carry fish naa). They refused to carry them until they took out the food items.

Get your refund first b4 applying for another visa route. So, technically,
1. No
2. Yes
