Go to Mexico and give birth. You don't need a visa to mexico with a valid UK visa and you can get PR immediately your wife born and your child a citizenship. A year on PR and you can be a Mexican citizen. With a Mexican passport you can work in the US on a TN visa or go to Canada without a visa and find your way. Don't give birth in the uk. Your child won't be eligible for ciitzenship. 33 Likes 4 Shares |

Question for you: were you likely married to this your 'partner' in Nigeria before relocating? Because here where marriage is a casual affair, people of the mid-age and younger generation use the term Partner instead of spouse, husband or wife. If you are a legally married Nigerian couple but chose to use the term 'Partner' for you spouse, I find that particularly offensive and disrespectful. 4 Likes |

@immatex, i and my partner were legally married before leaving. Here is the UK, you commonly hear people call their spouse "Partner". even before we were married, we addressed ourselves as partner. 1 Like |

Juniorroged: That's simply my point, you no learn how to read UKVI site and get answers to your important question but na to copy the no good slangs of the folks here you quickly learn. I find it particularly irritating when we try to copy Brits and their selfish way of life. 80% of marriages here end in a divorce and all 100% of divorced couple address their spouses as 'Partner'. All the best finding answers to your important question. I just feel like looking for trouble sha. 1 Like |

Raalsalghul: It takes longer for the parents to become citizens. Mexico is faster, and TN visa side-steps the problem of being sponsored. The second or third child can be birthed in the US. The parents need to access the US labour market to earn good money and bequeath the child with a strong passport. Mexico does it beautifully. Honestly, that was a brilliant idea from our resident Minister for Immigration Affairs, Tensazangetsu20: 9 Likes |

Raalsalghul: Giving birth in the US doesn't guarantee the parents stay. They will have to come back to Nigeria. The child can only file for them when the child is 21 and above and that would take years so they would probably be in their 50s or more to be able to enter the US legally 2 Likes |

hammed71: From my research so far, visa-free travel is not really a major benefit compared to working rights. A German passport allows one access to the Swiss labour market. A Mexcian, Singaporean, Australian and Chilean passport affords one access to the US labour market without the hassle. International students in the US have a 1 in 3 chance of getting the H1B visa. A major reason firms don't like employing foreigners as the process of employing them takes so much time. The same applies to Canada, where there is LMIA rule for candidates outside the country. However, Chileans and Peruvians can access the job market without being subjected to the same requirement. An American can access the job market too, but largely useless as the US economy produces too many jobs. So, in that case, Peruvian and Chilean passports are stronger than British. Visa free is highly beneficial if one has many business interests across the major economic hubs. But for a skilled worker, getting a Peruvian passport over a British one is better. You can easily naturalise in Spain and access the EU job market with the Peruvian passport. In fact, Venezuela as economically terrible as it is, an intelligent citizen can move to Spain, spend two years and become a citizen. Then move to Switzerland to find work, which is way easier than a non-EU/EEA citizen who needs to hope that there are companies willing to transfer him/her amidst 4,500 work visas per year or international students who have only six months to look for work after graduating from Swiss universities. 13 Likes 4 Shares |

Thank you for your input. Your post will get me doing further research. I had my first child in the USA and of course we got the passport for the child alone. When it was time for baby number 2 I went to Mexico. This time the baby got a Mexican passport and I got a PR. This cover for future children and even my husband. However, getting the Mexican passport is not so easy as there is a backlog of applicants and you will have to remain in the country for minimum 18 months. This process takes more than 3 years to achieve. ( I returned after the birth of the baby had to resume work) My goal is still the American Market but I will like to do it in the most legal way possible. To the originator of this post your best bet is to utilize that Uk BRP you have and get into Mexico for the birth of your baby. Even if your visa expires in Mexico, The fact you have a Mexican baby you are a legal resident and can not be kicked out. (you will be leaving the country with a PR any way). Another option is to try the USA visa and when you get in you can get admission and then change you visa status( I read there is a new law that enable you fast track this process) Study any thing in STEM and a green card await you in the end. Remember though you must pay all your bills in FULL. In all intensify your search for a Tier 2 visa.This is still your Cheapest Option. Stay blessed and Good luck with your search.

beautyuche: A green card under what scheme. Studying in the US doesn't entitle you to a green card. A thailandese girl I read about started her secondary school there and finished university there and couldn't get H1B and she got kicked out immediately. I probably don't know everything but I will like to know about that scheme that will give one a green card after stem studies. 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20: Happy to know that you succeeded. You've put in a lot of efforts starting from your early programming days. No be today. Congratulations. I have few questions bro. 1. Did they give you admission knowing that you can't speak or write Spanish? 2. Is there anything like a language course option that would allow an english speaking student (already given admission) to learn Spanish while studying or before fully commencing his studies? |
Re: I Am An International Student In UK And Expecting A Child by tensazangetsu20(m): 10:48am On Jun 28, 2023 |
sosowater: I was asked for Spanish proficiency o. Infact my admission interview was in Spanish. The schools reply your emails in Spanish and everything. I asked about a language course but the school said they don't do that. I think it's better to learn the Spanish in your home country before you go cause even the american exchange students i spoke with all learnt Spanish in America before they went to Chile for their exchange year. I have actually been planning to move to either Chile or Brazil since 2020 but I didn't have job yet. So when I got job I started saving and when it was enough I started reaching out to schools. Once I knew about the language barrier and that it will be needed I started to learn the language and wait for the next admission session 2 Likes 1 Share |
