Grant Leave to Remain
To grant of leave to remain for a mother (a Burundi national) of a twelve year old girl, who is a British national and married to a British National.
Why is this important?
Having fled to this country for fear of her life in Burundi, this lady has achieved a successful marriage and a daughter of twelve years of age. This woman has applied for leave to remain in the UK, which has been granted by the court, appealed by the Home Office, successfully counter appealed by the High Court and again appealed by the Home Office. Her daughter, a British National will not be allowed entry into Burundi to visit her mother. Her husband likewise will not be allowed to visit his wife in Burundi. The family will be wrenched apart, the daughter and husband will suffer psychologically and the lady herself will no longer be the asset to the UK that she has been able to be. In economic terms alone, the cost to the taxpayer in funding the Home Office legal costs, the possible costs to the UK National Health Service in countering the psychological damage caused especially to the the daughter and the example set to the world of a dispassionate and uncaring, numbers driven immigration policy irrespective of the right to a normal family life must not be allowed
