Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has thrown her support behind the Saleem family.

In June, Saira, 25, the youngest of the Saleems, was over the moon to find out her four-year-long quest to be granted a Leave to Remain visa had been granted . . . until she realised her parents and sister had lost their plea to stay.

She described the outcome as ‘crushingly disappointing’ and ‘confusing’ and says she feels her family is being ripped apart.

Following the decision their solicitor Usman Aslam vowed to keep fighting for the family.

Tomorrow the trio of Saleems will find out their fate at an appeal held at Glasgow High Court.

And they have huge support.

Luckily this week Scotland's First Minister pledged to support the family's plight to stay.

The family met her on Monday during her Dumfries visit.

MSP Emma Harper has been aiding the family and tomorrow the politician's head of office, Scott McElvanney will attend the Saleem family's appeal.

Our fingers are crossed for a positive outcome!
