We've had a request from the UK Immigration Service to confirm the student status of someone - they are asking under s.29(3) of the DP Act 98. This particular student is now a member of staff here - I don't know if this makes a difference.
Amazingly I've never had to deal with this type of request before and wonder if anyone could confirm the UK Immigration Service's powers to request this info from us?
Thanks in advance
Gwenan
