'B' RATED COLLEGES - possible closures

As you all may know within the last couple weeks, the UKBA has suspended several college's license AND downgraded others to B rating, which means they are no longer a Highly Trusted Sponsor or have an A rating. 

Please be advised of the following:

1.  Many of these colleges that have been downgraded to B rating have until 20th October 2011 to meet with the strict guidelines and policies given to them by UKBA.

Should these colleges not meet with UKBA approval, the colleges can lose their license and be shut down/closed permanently with immediate effect. This affects you the student.

2.  If you are currently attending a B rated college, you may lose your right to work in the UK.

3.  If your visa is up for renewal and you are at a B rated college, your visa may be held up by UKBA for months or your visa may be refused.

4.  You may be asked to leave the country or find another college that is highly trusted within a certain time frame.

To avoid any complications or uncertainty, we advise that you discuss your visa needs with our dedicated team who will advise you on the best next step.

If your visa is due to expire within September / October we advise that you set up an appointment as soon as possible:
