UK Visa Fraud: Warning Signs for Bangladeshi Students and Workers
For students, UK visa fraud frequently involves a forged or altered Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter from a university, or a sponsorship letter that doesn't match what the institution actually issued. For workers, it more often involves a Certificate of Sponsorship tied to an employer that never actually offered the role.
Red flags
- A CAS or Certificate of Sponsorship number the institution or employer can't confirm when contacted directly
- A consultant who discourages you from contacting the university or employer yourself
- Visa fee or fraud-prevention wording that doesn't match current UK Home Office fee structures
- Pressure to pay a large consultancy fee before any sponsorship documentation exists
Check it yourself
The UK's "View and Prove Your Immigration Status" service lets visa holders confirm their own status online, and universities can directly confirm a CAS number on request. Both are free and take the guesswork out of a decision worth thousands of pounds.
Where a specialist review helps
Our reviewers cross-check sponsorship documents against your passport and visa details, flag digital tampering, and — where the university or employer can be reached — confirm the sponsorship directly, giving you a written verdict before you commit to fees or flights.
