Oh gosh...more incompetence from #UKBA. Any words from https://twitter.com/NUSISCampaign on this welcome.
'Some students have received letters from the UK Border Agency which incorrectly state that the student’s leave has been shortened, and the student must leave the UK soon. If you receive a letter like this, please book a drop-in urgently with an International Adviser at Student Services Reception. We can help you contact UKBA to resolve the situation.'
