I would like the government to make it law that students with pre-settled status are eligible for paying home tuition fees and allowed to take out a student loan.

Members can read every reason.
Give home fee status to students who came as dependents & with no settled status
Change the law so that all students who came to the UK under the age of 18 on a dependent visa, but without settled status, are eligible for home fee status at UK universities.
Create a dedicated ILR settlement route for international students
The Government should create a dedicated settlement route for international graduates who: have completed a recognised UK degree, demonstrate strong proficiency in English, and have worked in the UK for a certain number of years.
Exempt students who arrived before July from changes to visa/settlement rules
Maintain the 2-year Graduate Route for students who arrived before July 2025 and allow transition to the Skilled Worker visa under pre-July 2025 rules, with a clear 5-year residency pathway to ILR.
Allow all dependent children of Skilled Workers to pay home tuition fees
We are concerned the proposed changes to ILR routes could significantly affect the hopes and dreams of many dependent children of Skilled Worker visa holders, possibly hindering their goals, postponing their degrees due to high international tuition fees and entering lower skilled jobs.
Treat students without ILR as Home students after 3 years’ UK residence
Don't charge overseas fees for students who have lived in the UK over 3 years
