Visas, money and family, for students from the region
A follow-up looking at how the US-Iran war affects international students in the UK — the bank transfers that stop, the passports that cannot be renewed, the visas that depend on a sponsor who cannot verify documents, and the question of what happens to a course if going home is impossible.
