Key Points:
- She went to the UK in 2022 for BSc. Her dad died in 2023, and grief hit hard.
- Work became her safe space during long spells of pain. She passed the 20-hour cap by mistake at work.
- Home Office flagged it; the school withdrew its support. She must leave at once, weeks before a first-class finish.
All she wanted was to make her dad proud. A young Nigerian student said those words through tears on video. She has to leave the UK at once now. Her three-year study path just broke near the end.
She moved to Britain in 2022 for her BSc. The loss hit hard in 2023 and she sank low. She could not fly home for the burial rites. She watched by phone and blamed herself for the loss.
How the 20-hour rule caused the big hit
She tried to cope with school and deep grief. Friends stayed close to keep sad thoughts away. Work soon felt warm, like her small happy place. In that space, she crossed the 20-hour cap.
Her boss got a query from the Home Office first. She owned the slip and thought the case was closed. A fresh letter came this year and sought more. She told the truth again and felt safe then.
A later mail then said she broke visa rules. The note said she must leave the UK now. Her sponsor school also pulled back its full help. Weeks to finals, her dream fell off the track.
Recent embassy notes say visa fees remain non-refundable.
She begs to finish online, school says no
She begged the school to let her finish the programme online. Daily logins from Nigeria would keep her on track. She promised to submit work fast and keep good grades. The school turned it down and held its stand.
She stands near a first class after three hard years. The student said, “All I wanted was to make dad proud.” Her clip reads, “My study in UK just ended at once.” Another line reads, “I had to feel,” hinting at deep pain.
The case adds to fresh talk on travel and visas. Officials also denied a Qatar visa ban claim. Rules shift fast, and young folks face hard calls. For her, the loss feels sharp this close to joy
