&nbsp;UK Border Agency (UKBA) made confirmation about two issues affecting students who are affected by college closures.
 
<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;mso-ascii-theme-font:

AR-SA">1- Restriction of immigration permission<o:p></o:p>
UKBA has confirmed that if your college closure leads to your immigration permission being curtailed (shortened) they will&nbsp;not&nbsp;use the date that your institution's license is revoked as the start point for your decreased period.<o:p></o:p>
If your leave is to be shortened, it will be shortened to 60 days from the date the UKBA make the decision to curtail it (i.e. we understand this to mean, as we had previously thought, the day they notify you&nbsp;in writing), which will be later than the date that your institution's license is cancelled.<o:p></o:p>
 
 
<o:p></o:p>
2- Reduced maintenance provision arrangements<o:p></o:p>
UKBA has also confirmed that if your college closes before you have finished your course of study with them, and you wish to apply for further leave to remain to study with another institution, then you will be able to show a reduced maintenance level (&quot;established presence&quot; in the UK) in your immigration application. However, you must have completed at least six months of your course at the closed institution.<o:p></o:p>
You will be able to do this, even if the Immigration Rules and Policy Guidance appear not to allow you to (because you will have neither finished a single course nor be applying for continued study on a course).<o:p></o:p>
You will still have to meet all other related requirements, in Rules and guidance, for your maintenance provision.<o:p></o:p>
Read the&nbsp;letter from the Home Office explaining the position&nbsp;issued on 6 December 2011)<o:p></o:p>
We still recommend that you show the full maintenance provision, if you can. However, if you need to rely on having an &quot;established presence&quot;, we recommend that you print out a copy of this letter and include it with your Tier 4 application.<o:p></o:p>
