Britain will thoroughly review the language test scores of overseas students in universities.

With the start of the new school year in September, the British Home Office continued to strengthen its efforts to thoroughly review the language test scores of overseas students in universities. According to the British Chinese newspaper UK-Chinese Times, M, a China student studying at Nottingham Trent University, received an email from the academic affairs office of the university on September 24th with the title:? This email is about your registration status notice at Nottingham Trent University from 20 14 to 20 15? .

Britain continues to investigate TOEFL cheating, and China students are implicated

E-mail said that the school had received a notice from the British Visa Immigration Bureau, and could not be registered as a student because it could not confirm that the ETS TOEIC score of M organization was true. It was suggested that she contact the British Visa Immigration Bureau directly.

M is not the only student in China who has received this kind of notice, including some China students who are about to enter school and face graduation from junior year. Whether the school can continue to exist is seriously threatened.

policy shift

The British Home Office's continuous thorough investigation of English language test results stems from the exposure of collective fraud in TOEIC test in a BBC program in February this year.

After careful investigation and evidence collection, the Ministry of the Interior revised the relevant policies with loopholes in June 10. Subsequently, the British Council of State proposed to amend the immigration and nationality regulations, and ETS was removed from the list of recognized language test providers. This regulation was implemented on July, 2065438 1 day.

Under the influence of the new policy, students who applied for a British student visa and submitted the application form before July 20 1 20 14 and paid for it can still use ETS as a language proof.

Students who use ETS as a language proof to extend their visa time in the UK may have their applications delayed.

Students can cancel their application to return to China, but the application fee will not be refunded. Passports will be returned at the departure port chosen by the students.

If you apply for a visa outside the UK and submit the application form before July 20 14 1 day, and the students who have paid the fee can still use ETS as the language proof.

Those students who have completed the application form and paid the fee before 20 14 10 1 can still use ETS as proof of visa language if they want to apply for studying in the UK in the following categories.

A preparatory course of no more than 3 months, having completed the basic course, and having obtained at least Grade 3 standard in the improved national qualification system, or having obtained equivalent qualification in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Or you can get a degree in a basic course from a recognized institution in the UK or an institution recognized as a publicly funded institution of higher learning. Those who meet the above conditions can still use ETS scores.

expert opinion/advice

For China students who continue to study in the UK with their toeic scores as language evidence, Liu Peng, a senior immigration lawyer registered with the Home Office of the British Immigration Bureau, suggested that they should first contact the school and ask the school to further clarify the impact and consequences of the decision to quit school, such as when this decision will take effect, whether this decision will directly deny their previous academic courses and academic achievements, and whether the school should cancel their school status or terminate their visa sponsors.

What is more important is to seize the time to explain the urgency of the situation to the school staff and actively strive for some powerful documents and evidence, such as transcripts, letters of recommendation from tutors and other materials, to prove that they are fully competent in language skills and can successfully complete their academic courses.

At the same time, the students involved should also contact the Ministry of the Interior as soon as possible, explicitly request a formal written immigration decision, explain the reasons and provide evidence. If the decision is to shorten or cancel the visa immediately, you should appeal immediately.
