Oof 😞 that's unfortunate. It's interesting as well because the fact I was born in India and have an Indian passport was kind of a matter of chance. Strange to think how different things might have been if that wasn't the case

I feel incredibly relieved, but still that most people have no idea how difficult regular immigration routes are in the UK. I've lived here for more than 12 years already and still don't have citizenship because most of that was as a student (which didn't count) or interrupted (so the clock reset).

As a British citizen, I'm so sorry you (and so many others) are being given such a hard time over immigration. I wish our official processes were much more welcoming. We are lucky and honoured to have you choose to make Britain your home - thank you.

Funnily enough, I applied for the Royal Society to endorse me for the visa for my science background, but they passed it onto the British Academy who endorsed it under humanities instead. No explanation given.
