Update: I contacted a lawyer and spoke to my MP. Here’s hoping that this will take a turn for the better! 🙏🏽 I appreciate all your support and commiserations 🤗

@homeoffice_ukvi @DanielZeichner @JesusCollegeCam I am devastated by the news that my tourist visa to attend my PhD graduation @Cambridge_Uni has been rejected. I am the first in my family to achieve this milestone, and being denied after 5 years of study feels incredibly unjust.

If you haven't already, you need to instruct an immigration lawyer -- one option would be to use the Pre-Action Protocol in Judicial Review to challenge this decision as irrational given the overwhelming evidence that you meet the genuine visitor requirement. Get a lawyer if you can.

My whole family, my fiance, and my job are all in Saudi Arabia. I am actually heartbroken. I sacrificed 9 years of time with my family to achieve this milestone and I can't even go celebrate it. This is discrimination.

The rejection stated that I am unlikely to leave the UK after being granted entry, when my whole family and my fiance do not even live there. If I wanted to remain, I could have done that via the graduate visa route-- but I didn't.

It is one of my life’s great privileges to have a friend as talented as @ReemAbbas and it is such a pleasure to see her poetry recognised in this way. I fell in love with this poem at its inception and my adoration has only grown. Go read it, please.

Invested in language(s) AS WELL AS the broken, fragmented, unjust worlds through which they come to take their form and meaning, Reem’s work is brilliant and full of empathy; ‘The Tyranny of the Pomegranate’ published here: thewhitereview.org/poetry/tyranny…
