NVQ Applicants waiting time

[Gideon]

Whoah! Whoah! Whoah! that's totally giving me a diff point of view for applying a student visa now. I am about to go to the agency nxt week and pay 25k for the consultancy. Anyway im going to ask them also if what they were promising in the orientation has any truth in it, 160k a month is a lot of money to earn while studying. But why do people apply for student visas to the uk and work while studying? maybe some are earning near that. i really need to know, im getting really confused here. waaaa

1) Coz Agencies are doing lots of sweet talks for you to be able to pay them! Isn't it their job anyway?
2) They always convert £ into PhP (which really makes it look big) , but not necessarily true: costs of living in the UK is too expensive.
3) You are allowed to work while studying but then upto 20hrs/week only.

no students will be earning anywhere near that, 160k php a month sorry, unless your very highly skilled, and if you was, you wouldn't be applying for a student visa

they have to work because its so expensive here

this is from last year, average living cost of a student £200 a week

say you got double the minimum pay, thats £12 a hour, £12 * 20hrs aweek = £240, *4 wks a month = £960, take off tax and nat insurance, and your living costs your lucky if you will have £70 a month left, or 5,000 php ... welcome to the real world

and there will not be many student who earn £12 an hour
