Allow Skilled Worker sponsorship for graduate visa holders in entry-level roles

Background

We ask the Government to allow Skilled Worker visa sponsorship for international graduates already in the UK who are working or seeking work in entry-level roles, particularly in sectors in NHS Expecting graduates to secure high salary roles is unrealistic and unfair.

Additional details

International graduates have followed all UK immigration rules, paid high university fees, and now work in vital entry-level roles like NHS admin and care. But the £38,700 salary threshold blocks us from being sponsored. We ask for a fairer visa pathway that reflects real job salaries and allows us to stay, grow, and contribute to the UK — the country we've invested in and come to call home. Expecting new graduates to secure high-salary roles straight away is unrealistic and unfair.
