Which of the following is a legal requirement of UK Visas and Immigration?

• A. To supervise local policing budgets
• B. To manage universities' budgets
• C. To control the British borders and monitor immigration
• D. To regulate air traffic

Answer: (C)

UK Visas and Immigration is the government body responsible for who can enter, stay in, or be removed from the United Kingdom. Its primary duties include processing visa applications, managing sponsorship, handling asylum cases, and enforcing immigration rules. This centers on controlling the British borders and monitoring immigration, which is exactly the role described in that option.

The other options fall outside UKVI’s remit: supervising local policing budgets is a police and local government matter; managing universities’ budgets is a responsibility of universities themselves and their funding bodies; regulating air traffic is handled by aviation authorities and the Department for Transport.
