I think you will be putting yourself in a very difficult situation.

While she does full time, you can also work 20hours during term time to support yourselves. But it better to have at least a year tuition fee and also some balances for maintenance as there is no guarantee of a job immediately you get in or even a month after.

I am not sure of any establishment or finance house that gives loan to an international student (and you are not entitled to public funds)

You might need to go back to the drawing board.

Thanksss:
Good afternoon fam please I'm seriously in need of everyone's help and advice, going for Masters in Birmingham dis January wit wifey. Our plan is that I will be going to school while spouse will be doing full time job to help pay the
Second 50% tuition fee.

We've already paid 2000 out of 6400 first part payment and we have the 2400 that we can easily pay but the problem now is that we were thinking we going to get loan of 2000 to add up wit the 2400 we have to pay by January, but all the finance house are not willing to give us the loan...

Please I Don't know if there's anywhere or anyone that gives loans to international students which I will repay with whatever interest charged.

I'm going to Hertfordshire.

I'm trying to book trainline to my destination from d airport, but I see a lots of terminal points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, underground etc.

It is all the same whichever terminal you land just use the underground. Normally your flight carrier would point that out.

Greetings everyone!
I have been seriously troubled at heart lately. By God's grace, January 2021, I shall be coming to the UK with my spouse for masters prog at Edinburgh. I am worried because she is pregnant going to 4months and we just have roughly 2m for survival when we land. From my calculations, after settling down and other factors, her due date would be close by. Obviously, i would be the only one to be working during this period.
I just want to ask if the IHS fees paid covers delivery/maternity?
Are there any benefits for child deliver?
Will this funds plus the little hours i hope to work be okay for us pending when she ll be fit to assist?
Please those with living experience over there kindly advice me.
Thanks.

I’m going to speak with two mouths.

Mouth 1:
Baba, school no dey easy. That 2M is just 4k. If you rent at £500 monthly, then there’s bills of at least £300. So you’re pushing out £800 monthly. Let’s even say you people will drink Garri, so feeding will be at £200, making the total £1k monthly.

You won’t start working immediately, at least you’ll wait 2 months for your NI. Say you get a care job (which will be hard cos of the covid situation and now you’re risking infecting your wife and unborn child with covid), you won’t start working until the third or fourth month. But with a balance of, say £1k5

Then you can only work 20 hours... that’s an income of £220 (at £11 an hour) per week, then subtract transport...

Then month 5 she gives birth, baby gotta eat and wear clothes and all......

Mate you’re literally living from hand to mouth.

Please I can’t even speak with mouth 2; God won’t forgive me if I tell you to come with your wife. If the reason you’re insisting on coming with her is to get citizenship through the child’s birth, baba e no go happen. Please leave her in Naija- 3 months after she gives birth she can come. Better still, Postpone your studies- You must not resume now.

Unless she is willing to work with her pregnancy but not many employers will take her (it’s against the law yes, but many employers still stigmatise).

This one go hard o, your options are very limited...but to make it work you need to find a way of increasing your survival money before coming o, 2m Naira is not plenty.

Make a financial plan that will carry you for at least 6 months without a UK job...

This is covid time when so much restriction.... why would anyone sleep with anyone for passport renewal.

If your passport expires in Germany, I am sure most employers and other sectors will accommodate .

Some times our people are the cause of these problems by encouraging nonsense . If you sleep your way through in naija, you now come abroad and don't want to let go of such nonsense and then still keep thinking sleeping way is the only solution instead of thinking of other legal alternatives
