    As far as I am aware you cant bring your husband as a dependant,what you earn depends upon the job your doing,and as a studemt your allowed to work 20 hours a week



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    I dont think so,its a study visa,the guy I knew had one returned to Manila after completing his studies,its a student visa after all,its not classed as a works permit,thats something entirely different.

    3) If you wish to bring your spouse/civil partner/unmarried partner and/or dependant children to the UK with you, it is best if they apply for entry clearance at the same time as you. Their application form should make clear that they are accompanying you and that you will be here as a student. If they do not apply at the same time as you, they should make sure that they include in their application a copy of your passport identity page, a copy of your UK student visa and if possible, a letter from the University confirming your status here (this letter can be obtained from the Undergraduate Office or Graduate Schools Office). Again, their application form should state clearly that they are accompanying you and that you will be here as a student. In all cases, they should check before arriving in the UK that their visa gives them dependant status. If a mistake is made and they arrive in the UK with visitor status, it is difficult to correct this error in the UK. Dependants should be given the same period of leave as the student.

    In most cases, if your visa is for 12 months or more, your spouse will be allowed to work in the UK. He or she should check the visa stamp carefully for the conditions that have been applied. However, you will need to demonstrate that you can accommodate and maintain yourself and your dependants without recourse to public funds and without relying on any potential future income in the UK, as this income is not guaranteed. Your dependants may also study part or full-time if they wish

    You will earn 20 hrs (allowed maximum hrs for students) X rate 6 £/hr (i.e.) = 120£/week

    Your expenses maybe 60-100 £ / week for accommodation rent

    Food (depends)

    Student visa cannot sponsor a husband. It will take long time until you are fully settled with good job and applied citizenship. It may take 5 years up not a while and cost a fortune.

    Yes, maybe thats why there's only few students applicants in Holland. I met nurses there whose visa were AU Pair.

    If your a student here your husband has no right to work and he wont get into the UK on a dependant visa,thats a 100% fact

    Times are changing,the days when it was easy to get into UK are long gone,and a husband cant get a dependant visa if his wife is a student,dependant visa means he is depending on her,how can she support both when she is only allowed to work restricted hours earning barely enough to cover her own expenses whilst studying?And your husband will have no right to work whatsoever,thats the rules,check them out.

    My computation for your earnings above was gross. The government will need to deduct tax and insurance.

    That's why you really need to have millions of peso in your account. As everything is expensive here.

    Altthough my favorite sunday show at skythree is UK border force, obtaining a student visa is not that easy, you need to prove them or your sponsor that they can support you, studying here in the UK is a fortune, you will need to produce or your sponsor a strong financial capability, and base as what i watch in TV, some students visa had to be interview at Heathrow. loads of question.

    I think it's worth writing to the Home Office regarding this. You can come to the UK and take up an NVQ course, while you work up to 40 hours. It is possible to bring your husband over (many international post graduate students at universities have their entire family with them) and he would be allowed to work. But for more details I suggest you get in touch with the Home Office, or visit http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/.

    student visa, you can only work 20hrs a week in term time, nvq was in the past mostly a work placement (probably paid) but recently the rules were changed so you have to spend half the time in class room ( the gov knows the nvq was being abused as a type of work permit)

    but work paid or unpaid is work, and your right it should be only 20hrs week, but seems to be a bit of confusion as whether your time on your placement is counted.

    Yeah,thats more in keeping with what I observed in the restaurant(even though they all did at least twice that amount of hours,but only because they were family and wanted money for a car)most employers nowadays are aware of the tightening restrictions

    i'm sure many on an nvq in the past did a 40 hr wk paid placement, then also did the 20 hrs a week term time their entitled to work (so doing 60hrs awk !). but now for nvq you have to spend half the time in a class room, and i would have thought if your doing a placement and get paid or not you shouldn't be able also able to work for 20hrs a week outside your palcement, but seems a grey area to me
