student loan

[omeo_21]

Hi i was studying from 2004-2007 and i had a student loan and i have not paid it back yet. i started work mid 2007 till early 2009 but i was earning less than 15 thousand a year so i didnt have to make repayments. also i didnt restart work again till october 2009 and im still earning less than 15 thousand so im still not required to make any payments until i earn over 15000 pounds per year

i applied for a fiance visa and i wanted to know if this student loan would cause me a problem in my application??

thanks in advance

No it wouldn't if you're not making repayments.

Isn't Student Loan only for those students who are British nationals ??

Yeah but I'm not a brit and I still get a student loan. But of course the conditions of my loan are not such that if I couldn't make over £15,000/year that I wouldn't have to make repayments. That would be pretty awesome. The american companies are not so kind

You're British anyways aren't you omeo?

Not really convinced, have a look at this

Residence

To qualify for student finance as a student from England, you will need to meet all of the residence requirements. Generally, on the first day of the academic year in which your course starts, you must:

* be a UK national or have 'settled status' in the UK (under the terms of the Immigration Act 1971)
* be ‘ordinarily resident’ in England
* have been 'ordinarily resident' in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for the three years immediately before starting the course - and not wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education

Right, I didn't say that I am getting financed by student loans from England. My financing comes from the us. I was just sharing my experience.

The point is that the OP is British and has an english student loan.
