You are earning US$1000 per week and coming to UK for studying in a B rated college?

Any work on student visa which is not authorized is illegal and if do any online work and tracked by UKBA you will may be deported with further entry bans. Same thing happened with many eBay traders.

i hav seen good programming/freelancers on internet making over 50K GBP per annum so that is not unusual. I would advise that you keep your profile/working structure in pakistan and support that from uk. In this case its not illegal as the structure in pakistan will get paid and none of anyone's business what you do in UK as far you not gettting paid here. And another advise **keep low profile**

If you are good at what you do, no doubt you may get an opportunity and make enough money jus on wht u r doing already on internet, grass always looks greener on other side so keep the rest of uk studies/adventure going as side play as well.

But unfortunately, that setup will come in violation of money laundering laws and you may need to spend some years or all years of your 'journey' behind the bars. Bear in mind UK is not Pakistan.
