£11k in extortionate visa fees to have the right to live in the UK
Migrant Voice member Livia Barreira wrote about her experience of going through the British immigration system, paying extortionate visa fees before she finally received her Indefinite Leave to Remain.
"My settlement journey was extremely expensive and stressful, as well as being hard emotionally ... To be able to live in this country with my husband, who I love so much, we spent all this time saving money to make sure we would have enough to cover my visa fees," she writes.
