Dilemma

re: Dilemma

Again, OP would be relying on her family to do this. This isn’t her families responsibility, it’s his circumstances that have changed. He needs to sort it out.

Having a nikkah done and him changing over to a spousal visa ain’t plain sailing. Fees, proof of relationship, does the spouse work enough for him not to be reliant on public funding.

Before someone says get your family to sponsor him, please think about what you are asking your family to do! Why should someone you know help get him a work visa? I’m afraid I’m still not convinced of the urgency for him to earn and leave his education for a life whereby he’ll be relying on favours from others e.g. getting your parents contacts and so on to get him work.

Here’s an idea, consider the marriage thing, get a nikkah if that’s what you want to do and go back to his home country live there for a while and then he can look at all his options carefully.
