Visas: Graduates
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of allowing consideration of extenuating circumstances in decisions on Graduate visa applications.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Graduate route is an unsponsored route with streamlined requirements, of which a fundamental element is the need to have successfully completed an eligible course of study. UKVI have the ability to exercise discretion on a case-by-case basis where there are exceptionally compelling and compassionate circumstances.
