    British citizenship
    Im a university student with british citizenship. I want to get married to an international university student from the middle east who only has a student visa to stay in london. Would he be able to get british citizenship during the 3years? I do not have a job or earn more than18000 a year.

    Two chances... slim and none...

    You can't support her.. thats one of the requirements... and marriage doesn't grant automatic rights to even live there much less gain citizenship...


    She applies... and she takes her chances... she might get it... she might not... if you are smart.. you will wait until she's got it before you get married.

    You can have joint sponsor, could be your parents or other family members, not friends.

    The other choice is to wait until you are eligible to sponsor him. Meanwhile, he must maintain his visa status.
