UK visa delays are leaving students in Pakistan out of pocket after they missed the beginning of the January intake at UK universities.
Agencies confirmed to The PIE that students, including those who had paid for priority visa processing, have had applications delayed by months.
Universities have in turn withdrawn CAS letters for the January intake.
Agents now say that students will lose out as both visa fees and priority visa service fees are non-refundable. In addition, students will be responsible for covering the expense of transferring tuition fees and any currency fluctuations, they say.
