Possible story for someone.

I have a mate, Carl, who emigrated to New Zealand when his daughter was 6 (she was born and raised in the UK prior to that). They came back three years ago and his daughter did A levels here. But now she has been declared an overseas student, which means three times the already extortionate fees and no student loans. That means she won’t be going to university. As Carl said: “It wasn’t her fault we went to New Zealand and it wasn’t her fault we came home when we did.”

He has appealed and been rejected. They arrived back in England ten weeks too late for her to be declared a UK student.

Get in touch if you can sell this and I’ll put you in touch.

Isn't the rule that you have to be resident here for three years first? Maybe she just has to wait and get a job.

Yes that is the rule.
