► Backlogs, housing shortages, tuition caps: the knock‑on effects of record intake
► Open‑border debates, discrimination claims, and the ethics of “bending the truth”
► Practical tips for applicants: documentation basics, relationship proof, travel logs
► A heart‑wrenching adoption case that reignited May’s passion for the work
► Pro bono advocacy & where to find help if you’re out of status
