Extend International student Visa changes for 2018 and 2019 graduates.

Petition Details

It was recently announced that UK Visas for International students will be extended by two years which is incredibly beneficial to said international students. However, new graduates from 2018 and 2019 must also be included in this change or they will still suffer from the inadequate 4 month Visa.
