Academic Research - Calling all "Irregular" Migran

[UnivResearcher]

Hello,
I am a graduate student doing my masters' research on Immigration to the UK. I was wondering if you would want to discuss your experience in trying to get residency/entry through legal channels but maybe have done so outside legal channels. I understand this is an extremely sensitive topic - all information I am collecting will be kept anonymous and confidential. I have conducted interview about immigration to France as well (where I am based at an American graduate school) but am having trouble finding candidates in the UK (where my network is smaller) so I am trying this end.

Please help me if you can. I would be extremely grateful for you to share your experience and contribute to the research regarding immigration policies and their actual human impact. Immigrants are people, not files and I would like to enrich my thesis with these personal experiences. Again, I appreciate your time and consideration and hope that I can successfully appeal to you. Please PM if you are interested in sharing and I will contact you immediately with my academic email/contact information.

Thanks again,
Jennifer
