UK Academic Visas Temporarily Suspended

The UK Border Agency had taken steps against approval of Indian student visas and temporarily suspended accepting submissions at New Delhi, Chandigarh and Jalandhar visa application centres, under Tier 4 of the points based system to counter the flow of fresh applications with effect from February 1, 2010. This is the measure taken by British Government to protect genuine applicants and righteous education providers from crooked personalities.

Even though they have stopped accepting visas temporarily from North India, British High Commissioner, Mr. Richard Stagg said that He is very much interested having the presence of Indian students in UK. Though, some evil inclined applicants are taking this opportunity by exploiting the vulnerabilities in our visa processing system. To counter these methods and to protect the real learning enthusiasts, we have taken this inevitable practice.

Further, applicants who had appointments for their Tier 4 visas from February 1, 2010, will be suspended until the next announcement by UK Border Agency. However, Visa application centres in west and south India will remain open for Tier 4 visa applications.
