Can you hear me?
Sweet.
My name is Lizzie.
I've got a nickname.
My friends call me M-Fresh.
I was head boy at my school.
I've just finished my A-levels.
I like classical music, and I also love jazz.
I'm single, by the way.
I am a migrant, I am a young person,
I am a Londoner.
I am originally from Guyana, which is in South America.
I've been in the UK for over half my life.
I came here when I was two,
but despite living here for almost 21 years,
I can't do a lot of things my British friends can do,
because I'm on the 10 year path to get citizenship.
Every two and a half years,
you have to apply for leave to remain.
You have to renew that four times.
Every year, the government increases the renewal price.
I've got to save two thousand, five hundred pounds,
around that.
At the moment, I have three hundred!
Last I paid, nearly two thousand pounds.
You're constantly calculating
every single aspect of your life.
My family is just literally scraping by.
My school paid for my fees.
They decided to raise money for me.
It's constantly on my mind.
It's a 60 page form, or is it 61 pages?
It's quite a lot to deal with.
When have you ever had to have
a 60 page application for anything?
It's a lot, trust me.
I question myself, why do I have to wait 10 years?
You spend your entire life, saving towards a goal
that's constantly moving forward.
It feels like, I don't want to say
I'm in jail, but, on probation.
I missed on a lot of school trips that were
actually going to aid me in my education.
We couldn't basically afford it.
So I'll be 34 when I will officially
become a citizen of the U.K.
We do have quite a lot to offer, but
we don't have to opportunity to
actually express our potential.
I just really want the Home Office to be aware
of the impact it actually has on people.
There's so many things that I feel like I could do,
but I feel like I'm just held back.
I want to become an architect, you know,
to do something better, not just for myself,
but for the surrounding environment as well.
10 years.
10 years.
10 years.
We belong.
We belong.
We belong.
