I am extremely delighted to announce that I have graduated from @AstonUniversity@AstonEPS with first class honours in Mechanical Engineering with a year in the industry at ASCA in Germany.
Absolutely amazing stuff from @ucu! Harsh's story is so important and a reminder of all of the amazing contributions those on the 10 year route bring to British society
This is the reality of a family of four
They moved to the UK in 2022 with their two children and secured a Skilled Worker visa in 2024.
They expected to qualify for ILR in 2029, but the newly announced policy could delay this until 2034.
Their eldest son has completed his A-levels and is now taking a two-year gap, working at McDonald's until the parents would have qualified for ILR in 2029 so that he can attend university as a home student and pay less, as the parents cannot afford international student fees.
The family is now under stress and experiencing uncertainty about their children's education and future.
They have lived here legally, worked, paid taxes, contributed to the economy, and followed the rules.
Is it fair that children who have grown up and studied in the UK should have their education and dreams put on hold due to the policy?
Should they go back to their home country or try another country?
They need your advice.
