An Essex mother of two, who has lived in the UK for 16 years, says she cannot switch jobs and her daughter cannot begin pharmaceutical studies while they wait up to 12 months for the Home Office to process their visa applications.
The supermarket worker, who only wanted to be identified as Ajibola, said her eldest daughter was offered a place at university but cannot access student finance, and has been repeatedly turned down by employers, while she waits for her next visa to continue living in the UK.
