We help with student visa extensions by sending your applications to the Home Office through the Student Batch Scheme. In order to have your application sent through the University you need to attend a form filling session; one is held each week at the Students’ Union. You can book yourself a place by e-mailing ubu@bradford.ac.uk. You will then be offered an individual appointment with the Student Advisor Naheeda Kauser to go through your form and documents before sending to the Home Office.
At less busy times of the year we are also able to offer advice and assistance with Post Study Work (Previously International Graduate Scheme), dependent visa and any other immigration issues.
