UK Temporally Stops Issuing Student Visa To Nepalese Students
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
Starting on February 1, 2010, the UK Border Agency has said that the UK has temporarily suspended the issue of visa for the UK to Nepalese students and the students of some northern states of India, and Bangladesh to see the reason for an unexpectedly high number of students applying for visa for the UK. Interviews of the students that have already submitted their visa applications have been suspended, too.
The UK Border Agency’s Regional Director Chris Dix said, "The UK Border Agency remains committed to providing an efficient visa operation for all our customers. We aim to process applications fairly, thoroughly and as quickly as possible. We will also take whatever action is necessary to ensure that the visa operation works effectively. The visa operation will continue to work hard to process the student applications that we have received so far and ensure that they all meet the required standard. We will review the temporary suspension in one month’s time."
British High Commissioner in Delhi Sir Richard Stagg said, “This temporary measure is designed to protect genuine students, professional agents and good education providers from anyone who is not currently playing by the rules. I am confident that a normal visa service will be resumed in good time for students who want to study in the UK in the next academic year.”
