My sister, 22, wants to come to the UK to study and work, from the philippines. She is looking to live with us, (her family) in Norwich, and to study and work here in Norwich. could anyone be of any help? We dont know what to do really. She has found an agency which will help her to get through, but to study in london. which she doesnt want. plus they want a show of money of 10,000 pounds in her account. there must be some other way. hopefully we have enough time to get her into college this september 2009. PLEASE could anyone give us information on requirements, etc =)

First of all she picks where she wants to study. The school/college/university has to be an approved education provider, licenced to bring students to the UK under the Tier 4 category. She needs to get a visa letter from the educational institution confirming the unconditional offer of a place on a course. She must also show that she has sufficient funds to pay for the first year's tuition (for courses longer than 9 months) and sufficient funds to maintain herself without recourse to public funds. This amount outside of London £600 per month and she will need to show she has at least 9 months funds available i.e. £5,400. In London this amount would have to be £7,200 plus the first year's tuition fee, so it could easily be £10,000 she needed to have in her account. If the visa is granted, this will allow her to work a maximum 20 hours per week during term time. She can work full-time outside of term time, but work must not interfere with her studies.
