Change the date of switching visa status for students from 17Jul 2023 to Jan2024

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to change the decision that was taken suddenly without any prior notice on 17th July 2023, that, no students can change their visa status without completing their study.
We Don't have any issues with the decision that was taken by the government. It’s just the government declared before that this rule will be applied from January 2024. Keeping that in mind many students were taking life changing dicisions which got hampered because of this sudden change of rules regarding the visa switch.
