UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Drops Plans for Graduate Visa Crackdown

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reportedly abandoned plans for a radical crackdown on graduate visas, which allow overseas students to work in the country for up to two years after graduation. The decision, which has yet to be officially announced, reportedly came after staunch opposition from cabinet colleagues. The Guardian reported that the abandonment of the restrictive plan may coincide with the publication of the Office for National Statistics’ quarterly net migration figures on Thursday, May 23.
