Chinese students in UK feel pain of consultancy losing its license

A UK immigration consultancy had its license suspended recently, leading to 257 Chinese graduates being told to leave the country.

In June, the UK-based Overseas Student Service Centre had its sponsorship license revoked by the British Home Office. As a result, 257 Chinese students sponsored by the group were told to leave the UK within 60 days or make alternative arrangements to stay.

Compliance checks of the consultancy by the government found "significant breaches" of its obligations, according to a Home Office spokesman who requested anonymity. The Home Office deals with the country's internal affairs.
