The 8 week UK student visa consultation period ended on January 31st after attracting more than 30,000 responses.
In comments made after the closure, UK immigration minister Damian Green reiterated his plans to reform the current visa system.
“I believe attracting talented students from abroad is vital to the UK but we must be more selective about who can come here and how long they can stay,” he said.
A final decision on limiting the student visa for UK is due “in the coming weeks”, according to a UK Border Agency statement.
For the latest updates visit either the UK Border Agency news stream or the UK Council for International Students Affairs (UKCISA)
