1. They have to pay the course or the university
2. They have to show them they have enough money to take care of themselves because a student only aloud to work upto 20 hours a week during term. Some dont let work at all.. Lucky if they allow her. (but she will get payed mostly here 15$ an hour which i think not enough for the whole family).. Sometimes they let you bring the whole family, sometimes not, depends on what course you are going to study. Please read the link below. And it depends on what state they going to migrate. Public school costs 10,000$ a year, more or less.
