It is one of Pangea.

Some say it began somewhere along the Eastern African Rift. During a period when intercontinental plates appeared different than today. A moment when history became human history, and our species began to gaze above the tall grass and walk towards the horizon. Propelled by an instinctive nature – *to move*.

Our origins are no different. <u>We are inspired by the freedom of movement</u>. The instinct of mobility is at the core of our DNA – and we have dedicated ourselves to building something that invigorates this fundamental notion of migration. 

The forces of nature that challenged our species and influenced our evolution are infinitely different than the barriers of migration we face today. Whether right or wrong, it is not our mission to decide. Instead, we concentrated on engineering something to confront these tangible obstacles, and permit individuals with a meaningful space to make informed decisions about relocation. <u>We endeavored to create a global migration ecosystem</u>.

Our early-stage efforts were based on several [mission-oriented pillars](https://www.relocate.world/about#benefits). To challenge a system of migration and enforce equity through transparency and trust. To pierce through complex layers of information about migration and provide individuals with reliable, accessible content. And to build a global migration marketplace where one not only engages with qualified professionals and advisors, but also others who have been through it themselves.

For anyone who has uprooted, there is a uniqueness to this experience. There is a story. And for those who care to listen, history continues to remind us that there has always been an element of struggle. Yet where there is struggle, there is also perseverance.  

We are no different. For our story is an ever-evolving narrative. One that is human. So as the world continues to spin, it remains within our nature to move with it, and to provide those in need, and from all walks of life, with the courage to transcend borders.

Our Story

The UK's graduate route, introduced in July 2021, offers overseas students a great opportunity to live and work without sponsorship for up to 2 years post-graduation. Here we examine some of its key points.

#### 1. Sponsorship is not required for the UK Graduate Route

The Graduate route is a non-sponsored category, meaning it is quicker and easier for both individuals and employers compared with the sponsored Skilled Worker option. While the employee may eventually require sponsorship to remain in the UK, this is not essential at recruitment stage.

#### 2.  The UK Graduate Route does not lead to settlement.

While it is easier to secure permission under the Graduate route than under Skilled Worker, time spent in the UK as a Graduate will not count towards settlement.

#### 3. Existing dependants can be included in the Graduate Route Application

Where family members are already in the UK as dependants of a Student, they can remain joined with their sponsor as the Student transitions to the Graduate route.

However, it is important to note that a child born to a Graduate and their dependant partner will be able to secure status in the UK, but other family members cannot be admitted.

#### 5. The Home Office has been flexible for Students who have been affected by Covid-19

Students whose studies began in autumn 2020 now have until 27 September 2021 to enter the UK (updated from the previous date of 21 June 2021) to be eligible to apply to the Graduate route. Students who began their studies in January or February 2021 will need arrive by this date also.

#### 6. Important Eligibility Requirements for the UK Graduate Route

The route is only open to Students who have been successful studying for a degree at bachelor’s or post-graduate level, or those who have completed one of the listed professional courses. The route is also not available to all previous students in the UK, only those who still have (or have last had) Student status. This means a Student who has already transitioned to Skilled Work or another category cannot apply to the Graduate route.
