Further education (FE) for asylum seekers and refugees
It is very important that you apply for further leave before your current leave expires. Applications should ideally be made not less than 28 days after the end of your current leave. If you do this in time, the conditions and entitlements of your leave will remain unchanged while the application is pending, including the time that you will make any necessary appeals.
