Two Questions Help Needed...

[devdas212005]

Firstly, can I sponsor my mother in law for a visit? I am a dependent on my wife who has come over to UK on student visa. I work full time and we rent a 2 bedroom flat. My wife also works full time as she is not studying at the moment. Can I or my wife call my mother in law for a visit? Would my wifes status as student or my status as a dependent affect the application?

Secondly, one of my friends wants to apply for asylum. His visa has expired and he fears going back to the country of his origin which I believe is Pakistan or India will result in his life being put in danger. Can he receive legal aid? If so, how? I am asking as he is illegal at the moment.

Thanks

If Ive read your post correctly, and your wife is in the UK currently as a student, then she is clearly breaching the immigration rules as she is working full time. As I understand it, she is only entitled to work up to 20 hrs a week whilst she studies.

The rule is when there is recess from education like the summer holidays, you can work full time until uni starts again in September. She will be back in full time education later this month.

I was hoping to get some advice on here on the two scenarios. All advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes to the first question.
To the second I would suggest your friend seek competent professional advice rather than listening to you.
