hi all,

I am a non eu and have been in the uk for 4 years on a student visa.
for the past 3 years i have been living with my british boyfriend and we are expecting our first baby in 5 weeks, however my visa runs out in 11 weeks (30 November 2008)
As my boyfriend is still struggling financially, he can not marry me right now (he is on benefits)
I want to extend my student visa, but i will have a new born baby, and i am not sure on how this will affect.
If i am refused an extention on my student visa, can i still apply for a certificate of approval? (as i read that the rules have changed from July 2008 and u no longer need to have 3 months left on ur visa)
does the fact that he is getting benefits will affect our application? could we be refused?
i am such an emotional wreck at the moment as i am heavily pregnant, struggling financially and risk to go back home with a new born without her father.. can anyone help me find a solution?

Thank you so much for ur time and for any info/help
