As of 8 February 2010, London SAM still does not appear on the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors. They have released the following statement on their website:

LondonSAM wishes to make the following announcement:

LondonSAM’s Tier 4 Sponsorship Licence has been put on hold by UKBA. The College is continuing with its normal activities from guidance given by UKBA; it will carry on with its obligations as a Sponsor. There will not be any interruptions to any lectures.

We are awaiting further clarification from UKBA. As soon as we have determined the reason, we will address the situation as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please note:

1. Those who are enrolled with us at the moment will continue with their studies as normal.
2. Students NOT attending lectures in accordance with their timetable will be reported to UKBA.
3. For those students who have been granted visas and are on their way to study, the College will fulfil its obligations.
4. Until clear guidance from UKBA is given, we will not be issuing any further visa letters.
5. We will update this web site as soon as there is further development.

We’ve now created a list of education providers who have been suspended from the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors.

This list is accurate back to December 2009 and will be updated daily.

You can view the list here: Master List of College Suspensions

I’m sorry to hear that your wife is now stuck in India and I assume from your comment that she already has her visa? She’s right not to travel, in case she experiences difficulty once arriving in the UK. We’ll make a post here as soon as London SAM’s sponsor licence issues are resolved.

Keep me posted on your situation and good luck to you and your wife.
