US EditionUK issues deportation warning to foreign students overstaying visas
- The UK Home Office has launched a campaign to warn around 130,000 international students and families to leave if they have no legal right to remain, using texts and emails.
- This campaign addresses growing concerns about the increasing number of students who enter the country with valid visas but subsequently apply for asylum once their visa status has ended.

- These actions aim to reduce asylum claims from international students, after a recent 10% drop, as ministers seek further declines amid ongoing immigration management efforts.
