Overseas students in the UK are complaining they are trapped in a legal limbo by visa delays which mean they do not have the right either to stay or go back home.
Students claim they have waited for up to five months without their passports.
Hundreds have signed a protest petition claiming their "basic rights" are being denied by delays in processing visas.
The UK Border Agency said applications from students would be "worked through by the end of the summer".
