This video is a bomb sis!! Please Chii my question is what if I am coming with only my husband with no kids or my fiancee, what will be the amount for our proof of fund? and again does my husband or fiance need to apply for a different students visa or we are going to use my own students visa as the primary applicant? Please am a bit confused I need your reply please!

[@lifewithchioma]

Hi Blessed. First of all thanks for watching! For proof of funds, calculate your tuition for 12 months (minus any amount you've already paid), living expenses for 12 months (you and your partner) and travel related costs for you both. The link in the description will be helpful so you can see the breakdown on the immigration website. Regarding your visa, you can apply to come in together, or if coming in separately, apply for the other person as soon as the primary applicant commences their study.

No, your dependents do not need to sit an english test to apply, except if you wish to increase your points by having your partner sit an english test and apply for their skills to be assessed too, but generally speaking, no.

Hi Sneha, yes, family cover is better as it gives better coverage and for the purpose of applying for your dependants, it will support your application being considered a genuine application instead of single cover. Please use comparison sites online to compare prices. Thanks

Hello Mustafa, you are certainly allowed to apply for your family to join you on a student visa.
