hello all,

I am not sure i understand what your saying

but i will try to answer your question based on

how i understand it,

In every country (Dont knw abt nigeria), you have different kinds

of Visas e.g Work Visa, tourist, business etc. In the case of my present

location, We have Work visas that are broken down into small groups.

Engineer, Instructor, Humanties etc, generally speaking, a sponsor is required

for work visas i.e The company that one would be wrk for has to sponsor your visa.

In the case of students, the institution of learning would be the sponsor.

So if this is what yur cousin wants to do (changing Sponsors??), then yes, its would

require a change in status,

What happens if a student arrives to study on one course but then decides to move to
another?

A. If a student wishes to change sponsor they must make a new application to the UK Border
Agency if they last applied for leave on or after 5 October 2009. A student will not be permitted
to commence study at the new institution until he/she has received a decision on the outcome of
the application. This power stems from Section 50 of Borders Citizenship and Immigration Act
2009 and was incorporated into the Immigration Rules from 5 October 2009
