1.     Ms Dhansari keeps calling her daughter’s name many times a day and even at nights during sleep.  She wanders around clutching her belongings and looking for her daughter Kamala.  Then she gets restless and frustrated as Kamala is not around.  This is making the carer’s job very challenging.  I comfort her saying Kamala will come and join her soon.  I put Ms Dhansari on the phone with her daughter every so often and when possible.
2.     Ms Dhansari becomes very happy when we talk about Miss Kamala and listening to Miss Kamala’s voice gives her comfort and confidence.  When on the phone, she asks her daughter Miss Kamala to brings a list of items for her from Nepal.  Miss Dhansari keeps asking Miss Kamala to come soon.  Miss Dhansari has even allocated place for daughter Miss Kamala to sleep when she joins her mother.
3.     For past few days, Ms Dhansari has been screaming out and calling her daughter Kamala more frequently.  She is continuously frustrated and is sad.  There were occasions she was scratching the walls.  She is not sleeping well at nights too.  She takes short naps in-between and starts to look for her daughter.  By doing so, she keeps exhausting herself and as a result she is getting more frail.  It is quite disturbing and disappointing to see what she is going through and not being in a position to change anything for her is quite frustrating for me.
4.     Ms Dhansari had to go through such unpleasant experience of her life without the fault of her own.  If she had her daughter Miss Kamala by her side, Ms Dhansari did not have to spend 52 unpleasant nights at the Hospital whereas Miss Kamala did not have to feel helpless thousands of miles away worrying about her mother’s health and wellbeing.
5.     Not having her daughter Miss Kamala with her has impacted Miss Dhansari’s health and wellbeing to a great deal as Miss Kamala has always been her sole carer and is the only emotional support Ms Dhansari has in the family.  
6.      Any further delay in the process of Miss Kamala’s appeal to join her mother would be unjustifiably unfair as that would risk a rapid deterioration of Ms Dhansari’s health and wellbeing resulting in further complications for a helpless Gurkha mother who has no family of her own by her side and for the those who are supporting her at this difficult time.
7.     Ms Dhansari is prescribed with personal care package at her home organised by the Hillingdon Social Services but the service is of no use at all as she does not allow any carers come near her.  Therefore, Ms Dhansari  is being supported by the volunteers of the Gurkha communities under my lead in areas of her personal care and wellbeing. 
8.     The niche support that Ms Dhansari is in need of can only be fulfilled by Miss Kamala as she is the only child who forsook her education, career and her life to look after her mother.  Miss Kamala is the only family member who was responsible for Ms Dhansari’s personal care, emotional wellbeing and financial upkeep until the date of her flight to the UK.
9.     Miss Kamala is still remotely involved in every decision in relation to Ms Dhansari’s care, physical and emotional wellbeing.  The daughter and the mother are in touch every now and again and when possible via phone calls and Viber video calls.
10.  This is an exceptional compassionate Gurkha case which can have a lasting impact on family life of Ms Dhansari and her daughter Kamala Budha Magar.  It can also have an impact on the overall Gurkha communities in and out of the UK.
11.  Miss Kamala and Ms Dhansari were interdependent on each other which is more than a mere family life.   Miss Kamala did not even marry to look after her mother Ms Dhansari and she never formed a family of her own.  Neither she lived an independent life, nor had a job.  She was financially and emotionally dependant on her mother whereas the mother Ms Dhansari was entirely dependent on her daughter Kamala for everything.  To that end, the Entry Clearance Officer’s decision to deny Miss Kamala of entry clearance was categorically unjustifiable on this occasion.  To assume that the 85-year Gurkha widow (Ms Dhansari) with no mental capacity and with multiple health conditions would survive in the UK on her own without any extra support was fundamentally flawed.  On this occasion, the ECO has not only denied the Human Rights to family to an ailing Gurkha mother but also put Ms Dhansari at risk of significant harm.  The ECO’s decision has torn a family apart that was already vulnerable and has caused a significant emotional and financial damage to the family.  However, there is still time to make things right for Ms Dhansari and Miss Kamala Budha Magar.  The longer it takes for action from the Home Office, the greater the impact on Ms Dhansari and Miss Kamala.  At this moment, Ms Dhansari needs her daughter Miss Kamala by her side more than anything else.  Equally important, Miss Kamala needs to be by her mother Ms Dhansari’s side too at this time of need.
12.  Therefore, I would like the Home Office to review Miss Kamala’s case on the ground of exceptional circumstances and on human rights ground evidenced by the current situation so that Miss Kamala could join in support of her mother Ms Dhansari in the UK sooner unless there are significant risk to public safety, bad immigration history or records of criminality.
