Official source excerpt

Quoted verbatim from the official source below. Ellipses indicate omitted text.

Work to enhance Notice of Liability information (which notifies customers as overstayers) was implemented in March 2026. This ensures that when a NOL is served, the original leave is also cancelled and thus status is updated. Completing these actions will ensure that customers who should be referred to Immigration Enforcement are being referred routinely.
