Dear Signees,

I am pleased to share that this petition has now been covered by Dublin Inquirer, highlighting the real and immediate impact of immigration processing delays on international graduates in Ireland.

The article documents how graduates who apply on time for permission extensions can fall into undocumented status through no fault of their own, leading to job losses and financial hardship. It also references this petition as part of the growing call for reform to protect the right to work while an extension application is pending.

Since October 2025, Meta has stopped serving political advertisements within the European Union, including content related to social issues. As a result, the success of this campaign depends entirely on organic reach and active participation from individuals such as yourself.

How You Can Help

• Share this petition with friends, colleagues, and networks who may be affected or who support fair and practical immigration policy.
• Forward the news article to employers, universities, student groups, and professional bodies.
• Continue to engage with and amplify this issue so it reaches policymakers and decision-makers.
• Every share and signature helps ensure that international graduates are treated fairly and are not penalised for administrative delays beyond their control.

Thank you for your continued support.

To empower,
Shashank Chakerwarti
