They put in about Rs 30 lakh in savings and borrowed roughly Rs 40 lakh, then landed a first job offering around Rs 14 lakh annually during a recession year. Facing loan repayments, currency pressure, and expectations, she stayed and pushed forward.

UK care homes face staffing crunch as migration wait rises to 15 years for workers

A new UK immigration proposal would extend the path to permanent residency for care workers to 15 years.

UK plans up to 20 year wait for refugees before permanent residency
