PLEASE HELP,

I think it should be fine. He should be able to work part-time without any problems, but do be careful that he doesn't seek full-time employment or move out, as this might be seen as independence.

This age is really hard, though! Just before hitting 18 - and getting ready to go to university. Is he planning on studying? He won't get 'Home' fees for a long time yet...

YES, HE WILL CONTINUE STUDY
I WILL HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR HIS STUDIES & REST OF MY FAMILY, I AM & I WILL

* TO MY UNDERSTANDING HE MAY WORK PART TIME & VISA EXTENTION SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TOO,

ANY ONE HERE HAD PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF THIS SITUATION ??
