Immigration
If you are studying at UEA on immigration bail, it is important that you let the university know by emailing Student Visa Compliance. If you receive any updates about your case from UKVI, this is also to make the team aware.
If you need immigration advice for your case, you can find a list of external immigration advisers that can provide both fee charging and non-fee charging services on the UK Government website. If you are an asylum applicant or refugee and you need advice about the asylum process or adapting to life in the UK, you can also use the asylum helplines.
Support
The University of Sanctuary engages with sanctuary seekers to arrange student support, various events, activities, and research projects. You can find more information about what they do on their webpage.
