Naaz Hussein, a Yemeni citizen and graduate from SOAS University, has had her UK Skilled Worker Visa rejected with only 14 days to appeal the decision and submit administrative review. Otherwise, she risks being sent to to Yemen, which will completely uproot the life she has built in the UK, tear her away from loved-ones and from safety.

Naaz came to London six years ago for her Bachelor’s degree in Politics and International Relations at SOAS.

 In the time since, she has become a crucial part of the community in King’s Cross. From working at the beloved pub King Charles I, she was then instrumental in the establishment and running of the independent café-bar K.C. Continental Stores.

As the manager, Naaz helped build the cafe into the safe and welcoming space loved by so many—a truly rare hub of community and connections. Anyone who knows Naaz can vouch for her spirit, her warmth and her absolute dedication to the community and her work. Her absence would be felt by many. 

This is urgent due to the short time frame (6th May), so we are asking our community to come together to help show that the Home Office has made a serious mistake.
