You need to have obtained ILR before your can sponsor family on a student visa.

Is that right? I thought anyone can be a sponsor cos in a sense a students father etc back home would not have ILR.

I'd be more worried about the costs - not much change out of 20k pa would need to be shown and remember, a student can't work here to pay for studies.....

As always, I stand to be corrected if I wrong here Wanderer. But can
someone living in the UK without permanent status sponsor a brother?
