Expedite delayed January intake student visas and ensure fair, timely decisions

What the petition asks

Prolonged delays in January intake student visa processing led to missed enrolments and financial loss. We urge the Government to improve processing capacity, set transparent timelines, provide remedies for affected students, and prevent future intake disruptions.
Delays in processing student visas for the January intake disrupted study plans, caused financial losses, and harmed student wellbeing. Clear, consistent processing timelines and increased capacity would restore confidence in the UK’s immigration system and uphold the UK’s reputation as a fair, competitive destination for international students. We ask Parliament to implement durable reforms to avoid future intake failures.
