I don't think anyone should advise you as an immigrant in Western countries, especially in the UK to start thinking beyond ILR. I don't know about others, but I hardly get worried by all this talk about immigration policies. Maybe, because I've not seen myself staying here for long even if I become a British citizen by document.
Unfortunately, the UK politicians are mostly pushed by online opinions even from other countries and influencers like Elon Musk. What's happening in Belfast is a statement to every immigrant in the UK that the smiles you get, the hi, and you're alright greetings you get can change overnight when an immigrant whether legal or not acts crazy.
No matter how much you want to comfort yourself with integration, you'll always be black in the eyes of many.
So, work legally as you do, do all the right things you can do here, save that money, save it well, and more especially, support good governance in your home country. I get pissed seeing Nigerians in the UK, Canada, and more supporting this current government because of personal interest, religion, or tribe. We need to have outgrown this nonsense.
Also, add greater value to yourself so that your relevance will be across borders while we hope good governance and leadership will become a reality soon. Stop begging or appearing beggary to people you're better than in all aspects - education, exposure, skills, because you want a place to stay.
If they want to send everyone home, they should. It's their country but go back prepared than before. It starts now, save that money! If you're single, you're in luck now, with less responsibility. Use it right!
Whether you like it or not, nowhere is better than home! Think home!
