Hi Iain. Actually, I have a friend who's willing to sponsor me and help me get a student visa. She's been in the UK since January using a student visa. Now she's studying and earning through her part-time job which the school had given her. My only problem is that my money isn't enough as of now but hopefully before the year ends or early next year, I'll have enough money to pursue applying for a student visa. Thank you

Sorry to be wet blanket but I can't imagine how she can undertake sponsoring of you when she's on student visa and working part-time.
She's not allowed to work for more than 20 hours/week and I can't see how she will be able to maintain 2 people from part-time salary with the current prices for goods and rent etc.. in UK
This is definitely NO NO...
Good luck to you in fulfilling your dream
And welcome in here

Thank you Ji&Ma, actually she was sponsored by his brother who's living in the UK for years now and has his own family and stable job there and if ever, his brother will be the one to sponsor me.

The rules have changed now so he won't be able to sponsor you in the same way. You have to have enough money (as you said ~P700K) in a bank account in your name (could be joint with someone else), so the only thing he may be able to do is 'lend' you the show money.

Hi darren-b, yes and hopefully soon i'll have enough money to continue with this plan.
