Made a mistake on application form

[MACY]

Dear Board members,
Asking for a worried friend
I recently applied for my tier 4 application. And i think i made a mistake on my application form. There was a question on the form where it asks.
Do you have any family in the UK?
This includes:

• Immediate family such as spouse, Civil Partner, Parents or children
  Grandparents or grand children
  your spouse or civil partners family
  your child's spouse or civil partner or partner
  your partner if you lived with them two out of last three years

I selected NO in the answer, as i thought its only above relations they are asking. But i have my brother who studies in the UK on Tier4. However i mentioned about him in the visa interview and told the interviewer that my brother studies in the UK and i will be living with him. Now i realize that may be i selected the wrong answer on the application form. I am very much confused. Should i have selected yes in the answer and give details about my brother?
Would this lead me to the refusal and ban for 10 years or something? I am very much worried as i already have paid my full tuition fee which is a significant amount of money. I have applied for a master's course. Please advise. i will highly appreciate your helps. thanks

I would strongly discourage you from taking on the role of informal visa adviser for your friends.

The student's university has an international student adviser whose job is to guide students with their Tier 4 visa application. I recommend you refer your friend to them for professional advice.

I hope that is helpful.

Thanks for the reply and advise. But nowhere on the above posts i have claimed that i am adviser on Visas, my friend can't use the forums and is not very good with computers. So she asked me to check online if possible. I hope someone can help with the question. thanks

I hope someone can help with the question. thanks

The university that is sponsoring the visa is by far their best source of advice. They are as invested in a successful application as the student is.
