Rejected petition To extend the Post study work visa (PSW) for the current Students to 2 years.

We request the UK hover to provide the benefit of 2 year post study work visa to all the INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CURRENTLY IN UK.

More details

Post study work visa of 2 years have been provided to international students coming to UK from year 2021. However, there are thousands of international students currently studying in UK and gaining valuable skills. Since the current students do not have post study work visa of 2 years and get a sponsorship from the employer, it would be difficult for the current students to get a job, also taking into account the crisis the employers are going through because of the pandemic.
