Extend post study work visas for current international students

Petition Details

Extend post-study visas for current international students to the same 2 year post-study visa new international students are receiving. Thousands of current international students aren’t able to get the same opportunity to chase careers goals even though they’ve poured time and money into the UK.

Additional Information

My girlfriend is an international student finishing her studies in 2020 and isn’t given the same opportunity to pursue professional development. Her parents have also poured huge amounts of money into her being able to go to university in the UK, however, these tough restrictions make it difficult to pursue these goals. Additionally, with the introduction of extended post-study visas for new students, I feel it’s highly unfair for her to be limited to just 5 months instead of 2 years.
