Overview:
Immigration issues can affect your ability to study, work and remain in the UK. A change in your university status, course, employment or personal circumstances can sometimes have wider consequences for your immigration position.

Campus & Legal helps students understand immigration issues connected with university life and employment. We can help identify the relevant rules, important deadlines and the practical steps that may need to be taken.

Support can include:

• Student visa issues

• Visa conditions and restrictions

• University sponsorship and CAS issues

• Changes to courses or study status

• Suspension or withdrawal from university

• Graduate Route issues

• Visa refusals and adverse decisions

• Immigration consequences of academic decisions

• Immigration issues connected with employment

• Requests for information or evidence

• Changes in personal circumstances

• Understanding correspondence from universities or immigration authorities

Immigration problems can be time-sensitive and may overlap with decisions made by your university or employer. We can help you understand the issue clearly and identify the options available to you.

Our Approach

We start by understanding what has happened, reviewing visa correspondence, university documents and important dates and identifying the key issues. We then explain your position clearly and help you decide what action makes sense.

Our advice is practical and focused on what can actually be done next.

How It Works

1. Tell Us What Happened Send us a short explanation of the problem and any relevant documents.

2. We Review Your Case We assess the facts, evidence, relevant rules and any important deadlines.

3. Understand Your Options We explain where you stand and the different routes available to you.

4. Decide What Happens Next Depending on the issue, we can help with responses to universities, employers or immigration authorities or other formal action.

Clear Fees

We believe students should understand the likely cost before deciding how to proceed.

Where possible, we offer fixed-fee services for defined pieces of work such as document reviews, written advice, appeals, complaints and drafting.

The scope and fee will be agreed before work begins.

No Win, No Fee

Some cases may be suitable for a no win, no fee arrangement.

This may be available for eligible claims where there is a potential financial recovery, subject to an assessment of the merits, evidence, value and risks of the case.

Not every matter will qualify, but we will explain the available funding options clearly before you decide whether to proceed.

What We Review

Depending on the issue, this may include:

• Relevant correspondence

• Contracts or agreements

• University or workplace policies

• Decisions and outcome letters

• Evidence submitted by either side

• Photographs, screenshots or records

• Important dates and deadlines

• Previous complaints, appeals or responses

We focus on the documents that actually matter to the issue.

Practical Advice

Legal problems are rarely just about what the law says.

We also consider timing, cost, evidence, the outcome you want and the practical consequences of taking action.

The aim is to give you enough information to make an informed decision.

Support at Different Stages

You do not need to instruct us for the entire matter.

We can help with a specific stage, such as reviewing a decision, advising on your options, drafting a response or preparing a formal submission.

Where appropriate, we can also provide more ongoing support.

Early Advice Matters

Some disputes have strict visa and university reporting deadlines.

Getting advice early can make it easier to preserve evidence, understand the relevant procedure and avoid missing an important opportunity to act.

A Joined-Up Approach

Student problems do not always fit neatly into one area of law.

An immigration issue may be linked to a university decision or work situation. Where issues overlap, Campus & Legal considers the wider picture rather than looking at each problem in isolation.

Outcome Focused

Our focus is not simply on identifying legal issues.

We look at what you are trying to achieve and the most practical route towards that outcome, whether that involves resolving the issue informally, challenging a decision, negotiating or considering formal proceedings.
