Currently, candidates who are due to obtain ILR before their course begins in September must still apply via the overseas student route if their ILR is not yet granted at the time of application. We feel this results in unfair treatment and may affect their chances of securing offers. We believe this policy should be updated to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all applicants.
