Universities: Migrant Workers
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he has plans to undertake a review the fees charged to university staff from outside of the EU for visa applications.
- Answer
-
The Borders, Immigration and Citizenship System (BICS) is predominately funded by the user, and we think it is right that those who use it contribute to its cost, thereby reducing the burden on the UK taxpayer. We keep our fees for immigration and nationality applications under review and ensure they are within the parameters agreed with HM Treasury and Parliament, as set out in Section 68 (9) of the Immigration Act 2014.
