Campaigners say the former prince must face criminal probe
TENS of thousands of people trying to settle in Britain through a “hostile and extortionate” route that takes 10 years to complete are struggling to afford bills and food, new research suggests.
Most migrants are able to settle permanently in the UK after five years, but for some this period is extended to 10.
Those on the 10-year route are required to renew their visa every 30 months, forking out £2,600 each time and waiting an average of 10 months for the Home Office to process their applications.
