	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Foreign national students who had been served with an adverse immigration <br>decision were, at times, encountering a delay in receiving their travel <br>documents back from the Home Office. On occasion this resulted in their <br>immigration status changing to an overstayer. <br><br>The pilot referred to was conducted through an informal relationship between <br>the South Central Immigration Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) team and the <br>International Student Advisors embedded within two local Universities. Through <br>this link, those whose leave has been curtailed, have had an adverse decision, <br>or wish to depart the UK are provided with local assistance by the Immigration <br>Enforcement team. The pilot has enabled the local ICE team to facilitate the <br>return of travel documents quickly, resulting in an earlier departure for the <br>student. This has benefits for both the student and University as becoming an <br>overstayer could jeopardise future applications from students to continue their <br>studies. During 2013/14, fifty students were assisted in this way from two <br>Universities (this is local data taken from local records that has not been <br>sourced from an official database).<br><br>The Government is looking at how this example of local good practice can be <br>extended nationally.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 8887 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
