Tens of thousands of international students in the UK have been living in limbo since 2014 after being wrongly accused of cheating on an English test. Their visas were revoked & their lives torn apart. We want to give them their futures back.

Story

In 2014, tens of thousands of international students were wrongly accused of cheating on a spoken English language test and their visas were revoked. Many of them have spent the last five years living in limbo; five years without the right to study, work, rent a house or drive a car; five years without seeing their families back home. In most cases, the government has failed to present any evidence at all to back up their allegations of cheating. Where there is evidence, it's often spectacularly flawed. Yet with no in-country appeal right, many of the students had no way of fighting the allegations. But thats what thousands of them are trying to do, spending up to £45,000 on years-long legal battles, just in a bid to win the right to appeal. Their situation represents a serious miscarriage of justice. We are calling for the UK government to let the students resit the test and ensure that those who pass get their status back and can continue their work or studies in the UK.
