“My name is Sangeeth. I'm a journalist from Sri Lanka and this is my story.
I moved to the UK with my family four years ago. I was only one year away from my Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), a settlement right which allows me to live, work, & study in the UK for as long as I want. It won’t be long before we finally get our British Citizenship. But then, our settlement route came to a steep curve when I lost my job as a journalist here in the UK. On top of that, my skilled worker visa was about to expire in just 6 days! Without a new UK sponsor, I and my family would be forced to leave the UK and go back to Sri Lanka.
Luckily, I came across IANS, and found the fastest route to getting a sponsorship, which allowed me to update my UK visa and stay in the country to complete my 5 years to ILR.
IANS was able to give me all the guidance and support I need to power through every little struggle that came my way. They took care of everything -- from my recruitment to my immigration needs, I didn’t need to worry about anything. IANS ironed it all out.
Soon after, I got my sponsorship offer and I was able to update my skilled worker visa. Because of IANS, I and my family won’t need to leave our life here in the UK behind.”
