Waive Visa fee & IHS surcharge for Tier-4 students who deferred due to COVID-19
Waive Visa Fee and IHS surcharge on resuming studies for September'2019 & January'2020 intake students on Tier-4 visa, who chose to take a study break due to coronavirus.
Extend a year of Tier-4 visa for placement year students of September'2019 & January'20 intake due to COVID-19
Online teaching is not worthy of paying such expensive tuition fee to the universities. If international students wanted to study online they wouldn't be paying a large sum of money for Visa, IHS, rent, maintenance and their tuition fee would also be less.
The recruiters have stopped recruiting due to the worsening situation of the UK due to Coronavirus. The students should be compensated with extra time on their visa to find a placement when the situation in the UK gets back to normal.
