Moving to UK with British Spouse and Transferring to Uni.

[CharlieHayes]

Hi, my name is Deanna and I am a U.S. citizen. Currently my husband and I are at the end of our long visa process that allowed my husband to come over from the UK, get married and gain his U.S. citizen.

He should have his U.S. citizenship by next June (2013) which would mean he'd have dual citizenship.

Later on that year, we hope to apply for settlement in the UK through spousal/family settlement. This will be after our 4 year wedding anniversary that way we can skip the 26 month probational period.

I guess my question is, is once we move to the UK, I am planning on transferring to Bangor University and was wondering if anyone knew what financial options would be available to me. Would I qualify for financial aid, and if not would I be qualified for student loans? I'm asking this as I know that there are financial restrictions to those who are moving from foreign countries.

Thank you for your help. I hope I was clear and posted in the correct section.

Hi,

The rules have now changed - and the 4 year ILE rule no longer exists.

So as a result - you're going to be at those unis under 'foreign student' rules.
