Lobby your MP about student visas

On 1 February 2011 Immigration Minister Damian Green outlined a set of proposals to reform Tier 4 student visas. Proposals include closing the post-study work route, raising levels of English required to enter the UK, restricting courses offered below degree level and restricting the rights of the dependants of international students to work.

The proposals would harm international student education in the UK and will send the message that international students are not welcome here, when in fact the contribution that international students make to UK economy and culture are considerable.

We must do all we can to stop these harmful proposals. Let your MP know that you care about the issue and ask them to apply pressure to UKBA and Damian Green while they consider how they will take the student immigration proposals forward.

Please complete this form to find your MP, create the letter, change it how you want and let your MP know how you feel on this issue.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember to insert your name and your MP's name into the letter. You must also include your address and postcode at the bottom of the letter to show you live in the constituency.
