Immigration rules, Different kind of people facing issues and obstacles
Now
the immigrating rules tighten by the
recent government, a lot of people facing so many obstacles and it also ruining
their career and not also career but also their families are facing consequences.
Here are some stories of victims that are facing consequences.
International Student Ketsuda
Phoutinane,Freelance Journalist and Hangry US expert
Ketsuda
facing the same problem like everyone else. She finished her two british degree
with a loan of £70,000.For non EU students , they will be banned from working
during their studies and also they will have to leave the country as soon as
the courses end. Ketsuda believed she is an American cash cow to be put to pasture.
She moved from the Midwest of America at the age of 18 for her undergraduate degree.
She got two degrees from UK. Furthermore, her connections and education , along with her
friends and even boyfriend are British. She can't see a future , if she doesn't
find a job in two months .It's terrifies her and lost all the sleeps at night.
She stated that , "the new rules rest on the claim that foreign students
abuse the system and leech on hardworking taxpayers. What abuse? It ignores the
truth that non-EU students need to be relatively well off to study here. One of
the many requirements for my visa included having £10k resting in my bank
account for 12 weeks. I then paid twice as much as my British classmates for
tuition at £18,000 a year". Also she found out more insulting that
, Immigration Minister statement , "Immigration offenders want to sell
illegal access to the UK jobs market and there are plenty of people willing to
buy" .Her reaction was, I'm not a criminal. I'm educated and want to work.
Having just graduated with a second MA, I have to find an employer that will
pay at least £20,500 yearly and sponsor a work visa - a long, complicated legal
process that costs thousands no matter if the visa is successful or not."It
is really shame for a polite country like that and this is happening to the
country , where the systems are totally opposite. So many people are getting
hurt at the moment .In her words , "The government is doing everything it
can to push thousands of highly skilled and hardworking young people out.
What's a foreign graduate to do? I seethe with every continuous restriction,
but once my rage haze clears, I'm hurt. I have loved living here for the last
five years. My life is here. There is no good reason for me to leave "Here

UK university and College facing Obstacles
A study has found that , in nearly three decades for fist
time there is significant drop in number of international students coming to
UK. International University and College union warned the GOV that many international
students are choosing to countries where they are more welcome. In 2014, the
international students dropped by 15 which is 1,000 students , compared to
double digit growth in previous year. Sally Hunt ,UCU general secretary said , "International
students make a huge contribution to academic and cultural life on campuses and
in our cities. They also make a valuable contribution to our economy. As we
face continued uncertainty about the future of funding for our universities,
the Government should be doing more to encourage foreign students. Ministers
need to recognise that attempts to sound tough on immigration at home are also
reported elsewhere and it is not surprising if students consider studying in
the countries that make an effort to welcome them."Furthermore, Chief
Executive of HEFCE, Professor Madeline
Atkins said "International students enrich our universities and colleges -
and our society - academically, culturally, and through their contribution to
the economy. Supporting high-quality international education is a crucial part
of ensuring that the UK continues to engage with, and benefit from, the increasingly
interconnected world". The link down there

Also
there are so many students are already has been closed because of less
international students. Recently , University of South Wales closed there
London Campus because there are no students has been enrolled for one year.
Dr Avinash Kanodia, British Citizen
Dr
Kanodia from India recruited Department of Health in 2003 because of shortage
of Doctors in NHS. He works as a consultant radiologist in Perth. Himself and
his wife and two children are British citizens now. An only child, he checked before committing to move to the UK that his
mother would be allowed to join them if her health deteriorated. Since Dr
Kanodia can afford to pay nursing care in India, Under the new rules she would
not be granted for new visa.
Dr Kanodia said , "The rules are morally wrong. I don't
want to leave my mother in the care of a stranger thousands of miles away. I
was lured here with the promise of citizenship. But look how I am being treated
as a citizen of this country. This is the worst thing the government could have
done to me."
Now
he is more concerned and confused now what to do ?.He also added , "I pay over £40,000 in income tax every year. I
don't see how driving people like me away will help the economy of this
country."

Furthermore,
In 2014 The
Court of Appeal has dismissed a legal challenge to Home Office rules for UK
citizens who want their overseas spouses to live with them in Britain, affecting
more than 3,600 families .The visa applications of 3,641 families have been on
hold since 5 July last year while the appeal court ruled on the legality of a
new Home Office minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring a foreign
spouse.
There
are so many people including British Citizens , International Students and also
Universities are finding difficult to live because of the recent rules of immigration.
Life has become more tougher for the people and it is really sad to see , country
like in UK specially.
