Visa Scams
We have been made aware of fraudulent activity affecting international students who have a visa for the UK.
Students affected have received calls from callers claiming to be from the embassy or the UK Visa and Immigration to say that there is a problem with their UK visa and payment is requested to rectify the problem. The fraudsters will usually have personal details such as your name, telephone number, passport details etc.
The embassy of your country or the UK Visa and Immigration will not contact you to request for payments. Please do not make any payments in response to these calls. If you are contacted, you should attempt to end the phone call as soon as you can once you have established that it is a fraudulent call.
Please
see the UK Visas and Immigration website
for further details on immigration related fraud.
In order to remain vigilant, please read and acquaint yourself with the Student Financial Support team's advice on
avoiding fraud and scams
We are also aware of a number of cases related to
tuition fee fraud
and have posted advice on what to look out for and how to prevent fraud.
Should you wish to speak to the university about this, please contact the Visa Support Team using the details above.
Immigration Advice Authority (IAA)
The Visa Advisers at Newcastle University are authorised to provide immigration advice and services as regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA), formerly the Office of Immigration Service Commissioner (OISC). The IAA sets the standards to which services and advice must comply. For more information about the IAA, please visit the
Immigration Advice Authority
Data Protection
A record of advice given will be noted and recorded electronically on a confidential system. All data is stored in accordance with Newcastle University’s Data Protection policy. For further details, please visit the University’s
Data Protection website
. In line with our obligations to the Home Office as a Student Route licensed sponsor, however, we may be required to share information on specific cases. Please ask the Visa Support Team for further details.
In the event of an institutional audit by the IAA, your record may be viewed strictly for audit purposes only. Please let your adviser know if you do not wish to have your record used for this purpose.
Complaints
