Foreign students who overstay their visas are not being deported as they are not regarded as a high priority by the Home Office, it was reported last night.
As part of a recent change in the laws, designed to crack down on student overstayers, people who apply to extend their visas for study purposes can be turned down.
According to a leaked memo, however, officials are rarely sending students home when their request to stay in the country longer is turned down because they are not regarded as a high enough priority.
