50. Memorandum from Vini Sharma
I have cut and pasted the mails below which
we have time and again forwarded to the Home Office reporting
students [not printed] and also the names of dodgy colleges. I
am sorry, could not send them as a forward since I work from India
and the server does not support this.
In fact, we at Newcastle College seriously
concerned about one or two students who have been staying for
long within Sunderland, and got their visas extended. These students
now seem to be charging other students money for getting their
visa extensions and also trying and getting students from India.
We do not have a proof of their helping students from India to
come over but yes their visa extensions and working full time
is sufficient proof that they are themselves not genuine students.
One such student enrolled at our college and
got a visa extension facilitated by us, but when asked to join
else would be reported he has apparently transferred his admission
since we believe he is getting married to another student as a
full proof measure. Also he is recruiting students and getting
visas extended. We are trying at our end to get his passport number,
address and the place he is working so as to report him. I shall
let you know once we get these details.
As a measure to curb such activities we have
asked the current students to submit all documents before they
apply for visa extensions to us. We plan to handover the attendance
sheets and sign on their forms only once they give us details
of fees submitted and letters from the colleges they wish to enroll
in. I hope this will help.
The few colleges we know are involved in such
activities:
BLR College of London
London School of Advanced Studies
Jupitar Information Technology
St. Johns College, London
