Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what analysis her Department has undertaken of the reasons for visa refusals arising from unconditional and conditional offers of student places; and if she will place this analysis in the Library.

The Home Office has not undertaken any analysis of the reasons for visa refusals arising from unconditional and conditional offers of student places.

An applicant for a visa to come to the UK as a Tier 4 student must hold a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) assigned by their Tier 4 sponsor.
The sponsor assigns the CAS when they have made an unconditional offer of a place on a course of study at their institution.
