The United Kingdom is set to announce new restrictions that will most likely stop Nigerian students, other nationalities studying in the UK from bringing their families over.According to a report, the crack down will be annocued this week.
All masters students and many other post grads will be banned from bringing family over.However, the ban will not apply to PHD students, whose courses usually last between 3 and 5 years and are very highly skilled as it reports.
This follows the reports that net migration into the UK has skyrocketed to 1 million with Tory MPs asking the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, “to get a grip on the rocketing numbers.”To get a hold of the climbing numbers, UK ministers are said to be expected to announce the immigration clampdown on Tuesday or Wednesday.
“There has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.“Students brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.” “We have got to get a grip,” a Tory MP said on Sunday.
